Weekend review...

We always enjoy ribs from the Market in Lake Mills. This is probably the last of the year so bought two racks. They are always so good.

Then we were off to see our niece's soccer game against Maranatha. She is captain. It was a cold windy day..isn't always for soccer games. They all played so hard but lost the match.


Quilting projects....

Found out that one color scheme blocks from week 2 were sewn incorrectly so had to do some reverse sewing. Luckily we had only sewn two to this week's clue before it was caught.


An ongoing project of de-bone-ing of my scrubs. They are cotton and cute future fabrics for a quilt(s).

Returned to English Manor quilt from Ebony now that it is cooler. Actually felt good to have a warm quilt on my lap. Of course I have a helper that usually is on my lap but had to settle for another section. Nice to revisit this quilt.






I also finished quilting and washing my Autumn Country Roads.



Then watching the Packers..another great win. Is this the year?

Beautiful Autumn day...

Today was filled with many things. Cool and crisp fall day. We started out at the orchard and purchased some fresh apples. So many people out doing the same thing.


Then it was on to get our flu shots

Then on to our favorite Mexican restaurant.


A few blocks for the Gypsy Queen mystery



Then to add some borders to other Country Roads mystery quilt.



Wonderful fall day.

Autumn Country Roads....now to hand quilting

Finished up with wonderful QAL by Lori at Humble quilts. I decided for this one to use oranges and greens...as it is soon to be fall. Love the final layout. I had some extra squares that I used around the border. Love the final quilt top. Even got a picture outdoors with green grass and some fallen leaves. Whiskers also made an appearance as he is always nearby during my sewing.

Week's accomplishments

Working on several quilt projects this week.
Gypsy Queen has posting so will begin this soon.

I also started Humble Quilts QAL- Country Roads. This is week one. Minature quilt. I am sure this will also be cute.

I finished the McQuilts sampler. Someone had pointed out that I had turned two blocks around in block 12. Luckily I had not seen the lateral strip and was able to correct it with doing to much reverse sewing. Lovely quilt and love the off setting of the blocks. Now I am taking some of the scraps for a scrap vortex theme on the back.









Finished the Third Commandment on the Ten Commandment Quilt along. Doing two color theme.






In evenings. Continue the hand quilting of the miniature Downton Abbey quilt.

Blocks for Humble Quilts Country Roads Mystery

I am doing this mystery in between other projects as it is quick and uses some of my stash. Love little blocks.

Will spend rest of day working on second color theme for Gypsy Queen Mystery.
