My UFO Peppermint Pinwheel Quilt is done

While organizing my sewing room yesterday I found my Peppermint Pinwheel quilt sitting on the shelf just waiting to have the binding done.   Merumo  shared this pattern with me back last January.  I used Jo's Variety fabric.  This quilt measures 35" x 35" and is a table topper for Christmas.

        Not only did I make the table topper I also made a small little quilt to put in my wagon I display in my home with my Santa & Snowmen dolls and I even made a mug rug.  I guess you could say I went Pinwheel crazy that month !

Vintage Rouge & a fall trip ......

                                                  HAPPY FALL EVERYONE !!!!

      Been busy  working on  making some Christmas gifts I can't show and we were gone a few days last week !
                             

Finished  my Vintage Rouge Block #5   The large center medallion in the center of the quilt

I paper pieced this block & appliqued the block  on my sewing machine invisible machine applique

Thursday we did our yearly trip to APPLE HILL..  What is fall without apples & a caramel apple of course

  We then drove down to south Lake Tahoe to spend the night.  We checked into our hotel for our free room and to our surprise they said they upgraded us to a suite .  We were totally shocked when we walked into the room WOW !!  One of the perks going off season & on a week day ;-)

Our bedroom with our own balcony looking over the lake

Oh how I wish I had this bathroom at home with this view

                    When I got home and finished my Vintage Rouge block # 5  it was time to clean & organize the sewing room / office before I start another project

        And of course to a little gardening keeping up with the fall leaves .  My 2 favorite things to do sewing & gardening !

Petite Odile Spools quilt a Finish ......

My Petite Odile Spools quilt is back from the quilter  I just finished binding it last night !

Mary a quilt Hollow did a wonderful job quilting this for me.
Can you see the spools of thread and needles and thread she quilted ?  Mary calls this quilting design  " NEEDLES & THREADS "

 

 Here is the backing I chose

I choose the red with buttons fabric for my binding

  I was moving some quilts around the house . Smoky seems to think all the quilts are for her

Time to finish Vintage Rouge BOM......

 Now that my Swoon is all done I can concentrate on my Vintage Rouge BOM !  This is a 6 month BOM    that  Doreen is hosting   and I have the first 4 months done.  I laid all of my blocks out on my design wall ( that is what will fit ) 

This is the block for month #5.  It goes in the center of the quilt. I am hoping to finish this block today

  The blocks that I made for month #4 need to look like this so I  still need to do the stitchery.

Meet SMOKY !  She decided that she did not want me to do any more sewing and took over the ironing board.
