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 
so 
if you are interesting in seeing the fun

 You can follow the adventure on Instagram

You never know who we may run into Houston!!

Last time we had the honor 
of 
 Jenny Doan from Missouri Star sit with us for a bit!!


Let the fun begin!!

Autumn Love Quilt Along...part 1


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

This is her latest Quilt Along....




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!!
