Eileen at RobinHill quilts sent me this picture of my Country Charmer quilt on her dining room table before she mailed it back to me.  Eileen posted on her blog  about it  here

         Didn't she do a amazing job quilting this !

Fall is her ! My favorite time of year !

                                                           HAPPY FALL EVERYONE !

I just LOVE this time of year !   Cooler days and nights !  Leaves starting to change color !

I decorated my large wreath on the front porch

New sign for the wreath to welcome my friends

I even decorate my mailbox

I finished quilting & binding my table runner just in time to enjoy for Fall

I just love this fabric ! Just had to use it for the backing

Have a great Day !

New Sewing Machine Cover

                                 It was time for a new sewing machine  cover !
                 So not only did I make one for myself but made a second one for a friend

                                        I chose MIMI by Chez Moi for Moda fabric

    So that is would coordinate with the valance my friend gave me in the sewing studio.
Now my friend and I will have the same valance and sewing machine covers :-D

  HAPPY FALL EVERYONE !

Berries & Baskets Flimsy is a Finish

                                                   Berries & Baskets table runner

 I  Just finished  sewing it together   and I am happy to say that this UFO is a finish !  I did not make mine exactly like the pattern.
The pattern had you add another border of scrappy little blocks and it was 42" long . Way too big for my dining room table. Mine measures  18" x 38 " long .  I used a older black Thimbleberries fabric that I had in my stash for the background fabric  and some of my Jo Morton stash for the stars . Now to figure how I want to quilt this ?   I usually send my quilts out to be quilted so it is going to have to be something simple that I can handle ;-)

           
      Saturday morning we went for our walk & then drove over to the Farmers Market .
    I did not buy any fruit but I did purchase this Chinese lantern plant !  I have never seen one of these before and thought it was so unique !

                                               Isn't it just GORGEOUS!

Berries and Baskets UFO

                      I started this  Berries and Baskets  table runner UFO  October  2012

I decided it is time to finish this quilt so that I can enjoy it this fall.  I had completed the applique on the baskets & stems  last year and then got busy with the holidays.

While watching TV I have been working on the berries

and happy to say that I finished all of them YEAHHH !

The runner measures 42" long but I think I am going to make mine shorter

                        So I pulled out some  fabric from my stash and hope to finish this this weekend

                                         Wishing everyone a Wonderful weekend !!

It is a busy time of year for us here in the foothills of California.    It is beginning to look like fall with the leaves & acorns falling everywhere.  Hubby has been busy cutting & stacking firewood.

Last Monday we had  1 1/2" of rain  with thunder and lightning .
