Snowtime like the present.

I have been looking forward to two things tomorrow and neither is snow.  First getting together with C and P for some chin wagging and sewing and second getting Cecil to the groomers.  Might have to fill the tub. 

He has trouble sitting on the floor and after sliding backwards for a while figures out he has to sit his behind on the rug.  Smart one he.

Time to start trimming those flying geese.
Hoping for no snow quilting.\

Bath time on the Chobe

Putting on the label with a picture of elephants bathing in the Chobe river in Botswana.  For my great nephew  Dallas.

Scrappy crazy

Finally finished this top. Love the collection from jinny beyer. So many seams it is easy to make mistakes
Thanks to P , I added a pieced border to finish the secondary pinwheels. I'm trying to decide if I want to add a blue border.
Decision for another day. Put sandwich together for Dallas' quilt. Now to find time to quilt it. Will probably do binding on dawns early light at bee on thursday.
Busy time.
Turkey's over quilting.

Last one

This is the last of the runners to be finished for the first Presbyterian merry market this weekend. If they don't sell no problem. I can use them for christmas presents. Win win
Off to supper with  j and g. Yum.
Then home for some binding joy.

Purple haze

Will give this to allison on tuesday. She does my hair and she loves purple.
I really am beginning to worry about how fast time goes by. It seems as if just yesterday it was august and I was trying to hold out for October and cooler weather.
Now it is here. Time for craft shows, homecomings, and quilt shows. The recent one in Sanford was especially nice. Beautiful quilts, different vendors and friendly workers.
Supper at my nephews place in carolina beach was wonderful, grilled grouper, crab dip appetizers, and banana foster for dessert. Yum.
Recent visit with my sister in law in greenville was a chance to catch up. Headed over to see my brother in law and his family for lunch. Now if I can just tie down my brother I will have touched base with family.
Visit with j and her sister last night for supper and quilt with c and p on thursday.
Fall has fell and time change this weekend, just makes you dizzy.
Cooler quilting

Tired puppy

Had to take this picture. This is my puppy all the way home.
So sweet.

Mackinac

I did get something accomplished in Sneads ferry! I only took one project so I had no choice
Really I have not started another quilt but plan to fix that tomorrow. I still need about 300 blue/neutral half square triangles. Had cut some but forgot to take them!!
I love the multiple patterns this block sets up. Oh well only 35 more blocks to go. I like the way the turquoise lightens up the quilt.
Also went to a new beautiful quilt shop in jacksonville, the quilt lizzie. Beautiful fabrics and they were having a sale!! Trouble.
