Another day in weather paradise

I am really enjoying this beautiful weather.  Back is better but still trying to take it easy. I need to be in good shape for two trips later this month.  I did not get up early enough to see the eclipse of the moon.  Cecil decided to sleep in and did not wake me until 7:30am and that is after a nap yesterday afternoon.  Did get binding done on veteran's quilt for undercover quilters bee.  Also got binding done for guild challenge.  Have started on putting Bento Boxes together but not sure if I want a border or borders.
Here is the donation quilt.

Did not even realize how it would look and should have done sashing rows for top and left side.  Oh well.

So tired of all the campaign ads.  I think there is a point at which people seeing the same add 20 times in one day will say enough and will not vote for that person.  I have watched the debates although the first between Tillis and Hagan was just a repeat of all their ads.  The Aiken- Elmers debate at least was interesting and both seemed to have knowledge about issues.  The second Tillis-Hagan debate was an improvement but I also don't want to hear 96% again either.

The good thing is we have less than a month to go until it stops.

Happy cloudy quilting.

Will this BOM ever end????

I have been quilting a lot but don't seem to get anything finished.  I have a challenge art quilt still to bind, a donation quilt to bind, and a donation quilt to quilt.  Have finished with the borders of the Hatteras quilt except to do 3 more 25sq patches for the corners of the borders.  It took so much time for this quilt for it to be unusable on the bed.  Too small.  Oh well it will be pretty.I did finish the habitat girls quilts and delivered them.
This is the September BOM from Thistle Bee I started in January.

And the two blocks for October.

I am ready to finish with this and get it quilted.  Have enjoyed it.

This is the Hatteras quilt.  So named because I started it 2.5 years ago at Hatteras.  I have finished the center and borders except for the corner blocks.  

This was taken at the harbor in Oriental NC.  It was a nice day to walk around the houses near the water and listen to different bands playing on some of the porches.

And finally this was my favorite quilt from the Durham Orange Show in September.  It is a wonderful quilting interpretation of Van Gogh's Starry Night.  The work  is amazing.

I am going to try to sew the blocks for Bento Boxes I have had made for 2 months.  We will see.

Cool and Crisp Quilting.
