Taking Time To Play!

You guys!

The green log cabin blocks are DONE!  At least I think so.  Unless the layout I have in my mind doesn't work, or needs more to balance things.

That means I've now got reds, blues, browns and greens in the done pile -

All that remains is purple!

And since I finished the pattern writing and PDF-ing for Monday's Bristol pattern release - I can actually PLAY this weekend.

I'm so excited.

There was the short afternoon interruption of getting Ivy to the vet for round 3 of her shots.

But I had this view to inspire me - my surroundings match my green log cabin blocks above, don't you think?

(I really need a windshield wash after that rain!)

And because NO ONE was on the road behind me, and the leaves have fallen enough to allow visibility:

Old empty farm house.

Someone save this one, please?

It sits on the loveliest knoll.

Back at the inn:

Halloween is in full swing!

Check out Muriel's dancing crows!

Gina took  Lisa's full size Old Souls quilt pattern and shrunk it to mini size. Wonderful!

The whole gang -

And the food has been fantastic.

Every once in a awhile I receive emails with finished quilt photos to share, along with the stories behind them.

I received the following from Debby Carlton:

Last month I got 4 quilts back from my long arm quilter.   As I was sewing the binding on it came to me all 4 of them had a connection to you.    The first one (Snowball) was my first adventure using men's shirts.   

The other 3 are king size, just showing half of each.   I guess I owe you a HUGE thank you for fostering my passion for scrap quilts.

The pattern is “So Many Snowballs”.  I fell in love with shirts!  

The second is Triple Treat.   I have been sewing 4 patches as leader/Enders for at least 2 years so when this pattern came out I knew I had to make it. 

The third is Holy Toledo from your book Scraps & Shirttails II.  

This is Bitcoin.   This is the only one that is a lap quilt - in bright colors for my granddaughter. 

Thank you so much for sharing your finishes, Debby!  I love seeing them!

If you have a finish you'd like me to share, send me an email by clicking the envelope icon below my signature at the end of this post!

Saturday is queuing up to be lovely!  We have fire pit penciled in for tonight, and this afternoon will be great for those over-the-porch-rail photos and more.

I want to soak up all of the lovely Saturdays we have left - I have a feeling there aren't too many before the weather turns to winter.

How about you?  Any fun plans this weekend?  Maybe some needle & thread time?

A bit more BRISTOL to whet your appetite!

We'll see you back here on Monday for all of the gift-away fun!
