The dining room at Quiltville Inn has been reoccupied now that it is too chilly out on the porch for meal time.
Late afternoons for beverages and snacks are still a go - as long as the wind isn't blowing - but with October right around the corner, meal time festivities are moving INSIDE!
As you can tell, the food was delicious and plentiful - it is always so fun to see what quilters come up with when it comes to feeding their retreat sisters right!
Cheers, ladies!
Beating the incoming rain!
Oh, what a display over the porch rail!
We flip flopped between doing this on Saturday, or on Sunday - as the weather reports kept changing on when the rain was going to come in.
I'm glad we did this on Saturday - SUNDAY it poured.
So many samplers in this photo! Each so unique!
I believe the string quilt is one by Evelyn Sloppy.
Pumpkin quilt cuteness!
Unknown designer.
And one last minute 9 patch finish!
Thank you so much, Ladies! It was wonderful hosting you - we'll see you again next September!
Yes, I'm living the dream - it's more fun than I could ever dream up!
After waving off the last of Susan's Quilters and starting on the kitchen cleanup to find they have left me half a pan of pumpkin crisp in the fridge!
Hello breakfast! (YUMMMMY)
The rest of the day was consumed with getting 12 loads of laundry done and making things ready for the Shippenstitchers arrival tomorrow afternoon.
More of this happened.
I am currently up to 66 Triple Treat blocks and am OUT of four-patches! Oh, those old scraps - they are going down.
Since this is a year-long challenge, I will be concentrating on just making a huge variety of four-patches until I have enough to make several more blocks and will go from there. I'm thinking of setting the blocks 12 x 14 (168 blocks) or a quilt top that measures 72'' x 84'' before borders (if I do borders.)
That means I have a bit more than 100 blocks to go. No problem. There are plenty more scraps where these came from.
How are you doing on yours?
Evening snuggles.
So it seems that Ivy is having a relapse of her UTI. Like - the antibiotics didn't quite kick it. She has started her crazy behavior again, and we have an appointment with the vet this afternoon.
I'm hoping it's not a bladder stone or cystitis. But we will see. She is not herself.
It's a glorious fall day - according to the weather report we won't even hit 60 has a high.
The heat is on in the house, it was 65 inside this morning when we woke up.
Summer is over.
It's pumpkin flavored everything season.
And of course you saw that last week was the pattern release for Ditch Lilies!

Good Morning.....after making my guys breakfast I'll go downstairs to fini the leaf blocks for Appalachian Autumn...somehow even after counting several times I'm short one string block .so here I go again.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful day here 60* high here.
Nice.
The pumpkin quilt is called Pumpkins, by Cluck Cluck Sew! I made one a few years ago, and I looooove it.
ReplyDeleteMore miles to go-HOME! Love the Porch Rail Quilts. The Pumpkins might be from Fat Quarter Shop. Hoping for a few more days of no rain. Harvest is over and the trees are turning. Have a Good Tuesday Choose-day! Nice haircut!
ReplyDeleteMy Triple Treat blocks are going slowly, but once I saw what you're doing with yours it freed me from the (self-imposed) shackles of "there must be high contrast!" All the medium values have been grabbed from my 1-1/2" squares container and put into service. I think I've got all of 4 blocks done, but the 4-patches are growing nicely and the rectangle+square sets are waiting in the wings to be mated with them. AND, I cut down all the scraps from my latest quilt and fed them into this L-E project, so that cleared some room from my cutting station. Yay!
ReplyDeleteWe are still in the 90"s here in So Cal High Desert!! Please fall, please????
ReplyDeleteAmen! 😁❤
ReplyDeleteAmen!
