The season is changing.

Planted seeds for these when we could not find red cone flowers. The first flower is blooming and it is an intense orange almost red. The leaves are turning on the maple trees and fall is in the air.
Basted and layered the next quilt to be hand quilted, this one was made a while back and has been waiting for its turn to be quilted. Will make a start on it in the next week.
A parcel arrived yesterday with a special tool in it, which I will share more about soon.
The second diamond for Tahoe is done.
Sewed the next two strips together for the Bargello quilt.
Prepped two blue diamonds for the pretty quilt. All the pieces are being starched now as well, hoping to have more success with stabilizing all the curves.
The enders and leaders are all trimmed to the same size.
The snips and trimmings at the end of the top and tail process.
Last but not least, the mouse and apple is stitched...

  1. I bought two red cone flowers in pots last year and they didn't come back to my disappointment

  7. It seams a lot, but it is broken up in chunks of time over the course of a week. Doing just one element, it will take a while before it is done.
