SEPTEMBER 22.

As I said before, I am new at this so it's easy to forget to post!  It has been a busy week getting things done around here before DH took off for 2 weeks. He gets back 10/6.  I am hoping to get a lot accommplished while he is traveling.  Would like to have gone along as he is on his way to Taiwan. We lived there for 10 years and I really would like to get back.  I know a lot as changed since we left the end of 98.

I packed up and shipped 6 quilts to a friend in San Antonio. She has "Coverangel ministries"  and there is always a need of quilts for children. Will have a few more for her later, but did want to get these off to her.

Today I spent time getting the scrappy Asian one ready for the quilter and just finished sewing up the backing.  Had this great Asian print with Chinese  Lions and Dragons on red.
Even managed to pretty much match the seam!

On another note-it was a beautiful Fall day in central Texas!

Design Wall Monday

Have a few different things on the design wall today.  Some Fall snowball blocks that I made for a swap; some snowmen snowballs received from a swap.  Also the beginnings of Fire Escape.  Pattern by Terri Atkinson.  This is being made out of batiks and in blues.  It will be a gift for a friends daughter.  Her Father died in May and i thought it would be good to make each of them a quilt.  The boy's will be from the County Line Pattern all in soccer prints,  Mom's will hopefully be done from florals by Kaffe.  the name of the pattern escapes me right now.  But it is from one of his books. That's the plan anyway and they have been known to change!To go back to Patchwork Times click here

September 16th and the last day of Judy's quiltathon.  With everything going on today, dad here for dinner, fighting with my laptop and watching it rain I did manage to finish the binding on one of my quilts. All in all this weekend wasn't a total waste. Finished one flimsy yesterday and finished the one pictured.  Thanks Judy for spurring us on!  I'm quite new at this so need to figure out how to put a link here that takes you back to her blog.  Give me time!Maybe I have it figured out!To go back to Judy's blog-here

What I did today
