Holy Moly... December!!

Where has the year gone to??

To stay ahead of the pace, 

we got an early start to our guild's donation quilt 

for

 Ashworth's Bull Sale 

March 2020

All proceeds are donated to Stars Air Ambulance. 

To date, 

our quilts have raised well over 16,000$ for this charity!!

One of our past quilts was this Antelope Canyon Quilt

The pattern is by Laurie Shifrin.

This year, we decided to try it in a new colorway!!

Dit Dot Evolution 

by 

Jason Yenter

The colors are vibrant and go well with black

(as approved by Lucy)

This was going to be a group project but after cutting it out,

It was apparent that this was going to need a legend to keep things organized!

It's now off to our in house talent, 

Terry Whitman to work her long arm magic!!

Can't wait to see it all quilted!!

Reaping in the Bounty

It was a fabulous fall day yesterday

Perfect temperature to harvest the garden 

Despite the drought, 

We watered enough to get more than we needed out of the garden 

A bucket of squash and pumpkins...

A truck box of potatoes, carrots, and beets...

Chantel and the grandsons came to help

Jaxon went to the field with grandpa 

Brayden helped us in the garden 

Brayden loved this little furry friend...

 

On the quilting side of life....

A friend was working on Antelope Canyon so I thought I would give it a try..

 I gathered scraps out of my stash...

(notice the cat proof ice tea...)

 Add a sewing machine that does 5000 stitches/minute....

One free afternoon....

This quilt was created!! 

 There are two settings and I liked the half moon version....

I also was quite impressed with the three commision quilts I finshed up 

These are clothing from their loved one.

I was a little scared of the stretch

but 

took the most firm blouses to start with...

 

I had never tried a Shadowbox Quilt...

All packed off to the longarmer!!

Two more quilts to work on!! 

Happy harvest!!
