Changes


It is time to leave the lake. Always a sad time as it is so peaceful here. Lots to do if we are going to sell the house next year. At least we hope too. There have been good and bad things lately. One friend lost a puppy and another one will be losing her 2 1/2 year old Dachsy to cancer. It could be a few months or a year. You know how those things go. On the good side, a niece is expecting a baby. Fortunately, the good usually out weighs the bad.

Should be done with my Hex Quilt next month (I hope), and looking forward to starting my next project.

I plan on doing a Quilt of Valor one starting in December or January. This is an approximation of the design.

Beautiful October


I so love this time of year with all the fall colors and cooler temps. It is also the season of cider mills and donuts. Delicious, but bad for the waist band. This is a bag that I put together this morning for Halloween, another fun part of this season. Can't really tell from the picture, but there are spiders climbing on the handles. The lining is multi-colored spider webs.
I've been really busy working on my hex quilt, and hope to have the piecing finished by early November. We will see. All depends on how much life gets in the way.
