It's beginning to look like Fall around here....

I can not believe that I have not posted on my blog since august 23rd ! We went to Lake Tahoe for a week with friends and I will share pictures with you in my next post. Meanwhile I have been decorating for fall. First we painted the front door red......

I have my large wreath & red basket decorated with sunflowers....
Of course I just had to decorate the mailbox.......
and the bar cabinet ........
This wonderful pumpkin seed quilt is just perfect on my couch don't you think ? Doreen made me this pumpkin seed quilt for my b-day in 2007......
The lovely little quilt and the little acorn people sits on my old treadle machine cabinet in the sewing room. Doreen made this for me for my b-day last year . Can you see the little acorn people to the right ?
We also had to replace our kitchen faucet and instant hot water.............
They now match my hanging light in the kitchen nook...
Then there is the mama and baby deer who come to visit us each day....
I just finished this quilt top ! I made it out of all Grande Finale fabric my moda and the picture below shows my backing and binding I have chosen .
I will try to post again the end of the week with pictures of our tahoe trip.

I am REALLY ready for Fall

Red White & Wonderful Christmas Quilt finished......

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. We were on vacation last week so the only thing I accomplished was finishing the binding on my Red , White & Wonderful quilt. I had seen Thelma's quilt and fell in love with it. Thelma was kind enough to send me her pattern when she was done with it. I was very lucky to find the ROMAN HOLIDAY fabric by Moda I needed on EBAY.








AS you can see SMOKY thinks I made this quilt for her

Chai Tea Batik quilt finish ........

Hi ! I just finished sewing the binding on my " Chai Tea Quilt " last night and could not wait to hang it on my dining room wall this morning and share it with all of you .
This is the batik fabric I chose for the backing . Lots of trees !
I received 4 of my quilts back from the quilter last week so I have been busy binding ALL of them. I am going to start hand sewing the binding on my Red , White & Wonderful quilt tonight. I will be sure to post a picture of that one when I finish it.

HAPPY MONDAY !

Happy August 1st !

I have been able to finish a couple of more projects this last week.

This is " GOOD FORTUNE " and how I love this quilt. I made this quilt out of ALL Collection for a Cause " Legacy " fabric by Moda. This is a Schnibbles pattern by Miss Rosie's quilt co. This was a kit I purchased and included is the backing & binding too.






I also made this table runner for a friend's b-day gift who is a Rooster lover. This is made of LA PETIT POULET by Moda fabric except for the backing is a fabric I had in my stash.

She really loved her b-day gift. Now she has roosters on both sides of her table runner !
