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.

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.

Dawn's Early light etc

This is finished and at the quilters. Not many more big quilts left in me!!
I did add an outside blue border to match the inside one. Thanks to c and p for ideas about the pieced border. It is 87 by 105. I do like them to go over the pillows.
Hate messing with throwing shamed pillows off the bed when I toddle off to sleep.
Fall is finally here. Love this cool morning.
Have to walk some before it gets warm.
There is a let down after finishing a big quilt, so I just cleaned up some of the sewing mess.
Now to begin something new.
Cool quilting.

Tree cutting

Cecil and I worked hard to cut down this 25.5 inch in diameter  oak. I hated to have it cut but it was leaning at a 75 degree angle. Then two more scrub trees downed in front yard. Sure will let in light.

9 of 20 blocks.

I like this arrangement best. Only 11 more blocks to put together and finish pieced border.
Hope to get it finished this weekend.
