Color Inspiration Confirmation!

Yes, this picture is a bit blurry as we were whizzing down highway 421 to meet up with realtor Jen in Wilkesboro, NC.

We were meeting "half-way" between her place in Kernersville, NC and ours in Mouth of Wilson, VA to sign some papers - the Wallburg house should be closed upon and no longer ours as of next week!

But I digress -

There is no way a photo can capture what the sun was doing to the sky at this moment we were driving by.

(And in my mind's eye, there wouldn't have been power lines to obstruct that view as well.)

The camera couldn't capture the golds and rusts, and the vastness of the Blue Ridge Mountain view before me.

But I saw how the aqua sky was playing against those warm earthy tones and I smiled - because that is what was before me all day long.

I pressed and de-dog-eared and matched pairs for what seemed like hours.

I vaguely remember Richard Gere and Winona Ryder in Autumn in New York playing in the background.

Pairs were sewn.

And I remembered to trim things in reasonable sets as the chain piecing continued through my machine.

I simply tossed them over the machine behind this one - short lengths ready to press.  What a difference that simple change makes!

This one was also a pleasant surprise!

There is something decadent about movies playing while being able to sew.  

I'm much more a podcast listener, an audio book listener, but instead of diving in to things hours long, I've fallen into the quick fix of a chick flick type of movie that I enjoy, while the Hubster doesn't.

"Wendy sees things differently: she's fiercely independent, with a brilliant mind and a mischievous sense of hilarity. Wendy also has autism. To her, people are an indecipherable code and the world's a confusing place. Inspired by her no-nonsense caregiver, Wendy comes of age and escapes from her care home on the road trip of a lifetime to deliver her 500-page script to a writing competition."

I really enjoyed this one! 

Both of the above movies were watched (with limited ads) on YouTube for free.

And this is where I was last night when we left to go sign papers.

And just for comparison -  here is that evening photo again!

I'm just loving these colors THIS time of the year.  Maybe not in spring or summer.  I'm kind of a seasonal girl that way - I do not enjoy sewing Christmas themed items in July.

But for this "heading into late November" time?  It's made me perfectly happy.

(Not to mention ALL the scraps that are finding a home!)

I found this posted to Facebook from Lori's Quiltville Q's!

Remember they were heading out toward home while I was getting that physical on Monday morning early, and they were gone by the time I got back to the house.

Thanks for sending the selfie, ladies!  I miss your smiling faces already!

There are just a few things left to do to have the house ready for Nola's Bonniacs who are arriving this evening - they are coming from Indiana, and it should be a beautiful day for a long drive.

I am expecting them to pull in around dinner time.
