Autumn Love Progress (part ii)

My favorite part of quilting is when things start coming together 

I have been loving the process of turned appliqué 

I just used fabric from my stash

I did have to buy orange.

That is just not a color I EVER buy!!

(shocking)

That's probably a good thing.... 

It's one color of fabric I can pass buy without purchasing

The Harvest corner blocks are beautiful!!

This quilt is nearly finished...

It always amazes me how you can get this ...

Out of a pile of this....

The end is in sight

And it always make me sad when I am nearly done.

It's like watching your favorite series on tv and when it's finished you feel lost!!

But there is another series on the horizon by @loriholts of #beeinmybonnet

It is called Farm Sweet Farm.

Can't wait!!

I am hoping to find it at Market in Houston this week!!

We are off to Market and Festival tomorrow!!

Blogging is tricky away from home

Last time we had the honor 

of

Let the fun begin!!

Autumn Love..... Part 2

Harvest in the garden has been going on...

The colors are amazing...

Pumpkins, squash and gourds...

And a bit of sewing here and there!!!

I am keeping up....

Maybe even a little ahead of myself...

I am actually enjoying this turned applique!!

These 4 1/2" stars are adorable!!

I had to go to the dentist so I took this little man to keep me company....

Two crowns and 3 fillings later.....

(five hours to be exact)

Dr. Hoium

 (who is the best dentist I have ever been to!!)

said he thinks I took the record for the most done in one sitting.

I don't like going to the dentist 

and

 would talk myself out of going back.

I said just do it all!!

He is as great a dentist as his dad was a vet.

I miss having his dad out for pregchecking and bull checkups.

These little 4 1/2" shining stars are adorable!!

 As well as the harvest stars are gorgeous!!

Now for the letters....

'AUTUMN'

I am not sure that I want to go that route so will have to think about it....

Autumn Love Quilt Along...part 1

I LOVE,... LOVE....LOVE everything that Lori Holt comes up with!!

This is her latest Quilt Along....

Autumn Love

I am trying to keep up to this quilt-along also

You know...it's one block a week....

Block One

Using my own stash...

My life seems to HAPPEN and I fall behind!!

So far, I am on track.

The supervisor, Lucy doesn't seem to understand what the problem would be.

Block Two....

In the process of being hand stitched down.

I am actually following Lori's instructions and doing it 'her' way

(insert applause here)

Let's see if I can keep up!!

Bring on Fall.... I am ready!!
