It’s a quilt top

 This is ready to be basted and quilted. Moving along on the Strip Cocoon and have added two more selections of fabric and pattern to the to do list.  That little patch of sunshine is welcome now that it’s getting below freezing at night..

In remembrance of my son

 These mums were a Mother’s Day present last year from my son who recently passed away. Today is his birthday and the flowers are starting to bloom. I hope they continue to bloom before cold weather arrives. A nice memento…

Some more around the world

 Made some blocks only 8 more to make!  Four blocks are left over from a previous project where I didn’t use all I’d made. These newest blocks contain lighter strips so I’ll need to place the older blocks so they aren’t so conspicuous. 

And here’s the first 2 blocks of GE Design Strip Cocoon. I have a few odds and ends of jelly roll strips,  selected four colors. Hope this turns out interesting!

October is a beautiful month

 This month started off in the beautiful way with fall colors, I made a trip up big cottonwood canyon to view them. Haven’t been up in years. It was a delight for the eyes and heart. I have 4 or 5 quilts I’m working on and hope to finish by the end of the month for donation at the next Quilts for Kids workshop.  Something very sad occurred earlier this month that has slowed me down. And I may not make end of month goal unless I get a move on!  I have 3 ready to quilt, an Around the World to add to, a color wash kit to put together, and a Designer BOM from the Fat Quarter Shop I haven’t even started yet I think there are 5 months of blocks to do.  No quilts photos but I did try a new recipe for milk bread with pic. It is so good…

Plum jam

 Great year for fruit. Was gifted some plums so made two batches of plum jam!

Also working on second charming chevrons.  Creamie in her fuzzy bed

Boxed in ready to quilt

 After dozens of rearranging I still didn’t get it quite right…oh well that’s how it goes.  Two yellows together 

Boxed in

 I started this one with a pack of 10” layer cake squares. Such a simple quilt shouldn’t be taking so long!  Guess I’m slowing down…but I may do this for another layer cake bundle…

Here’s the rest, need to distribute the colors better.  I’m one short if I do 5x7, or I could do 5x6 and have 4 left over!
