Last of Summer

It is hard to believe the summer is on its way out.  I know there is one whole month left until fall
but it is hard to think summer after Labor Day.  This has been a busy summer even a busier year.
I have been in Ilm for 13 months and it seems like yesterday sometimes and years other times.
Missing friends will still be the only downside of the move.
 I have been getting my car in shape to be able to make the trip to see them as often as possible given their schedules and mine.  I also know after Labor Day comes Thanksgiving and Christmas. Whew.

I took two quilts to Heather and hope to be able to get them in a week or two after surgery.

 Right now just to keep busy I started the Globe Trotter from the latest Quilt Sampler.  This is the first issue of that magazine I have bought in a while.  There are several quilts I would like to make in it.
This one uses Australian fabrics of which I have a few.

The background or light is a white stars on cream. This is the inner round.  Can only manage 4 or 6 blocks at a time.

This is the stonehenge quilt on the left and the new "cactus flower" fabric from Kaffe for the back on the right.  I do love his fabrics.
  
Off to run some errands then lunch at Firehouse subs with B who comes down to work at aquarium every other wednesday.  It is nice to get to visit with her.
Hope to go to Southport on Saturday with Joy.  Luke is in a tournament.  We will watch.
Sunny quilting.
