Brown Bird Bee Beauties!

Good morning, Quiltvillians!

Just take a look at these completed Charm Pack Challenge quilt top finishes!

All started on retreat - and all hanging over the porch rail in yesterday's abundant October sunshine - 

What a fun way to sew together!

If you and your group want to do this challenge, or if you simply have a charm pack you are wanting to put to good (and fun!) use - Download free PDF pattern sheet HERE.

The wind was a bit wafty - but how fun are these?

Great job, ladies!

Some in sun, some in shadow, but all lovely!

Well done!

And there were other over-the-porch-rail beauties to behold, too!

Virginia Bound from Scraps & Shirttails in autumn colors and an Old Town in lovely reproduction fabrics.

Indigo Way and Smith Mountain Morning from Scraps & Shirttails II!

I love the cardinal finish!  The log cabin is in progress, and the Peter Rabbit quilt is for a beloved grandchild.

There were a couple more inside show & shares that didn't make it over the porch rail -

Tumalo Trail from Scraps & Shirttails II.

I don't remember the name of this holiday quilt - please leave the info in the comments below if you know.

As you can tell by the clips at the bottom, binding is in progress - just in time for the holidays ahead!

And this deserves an honorable mention!

Grassy Creek is coming together!

So is On Ringo Lake!

I love seeing past mysteries getting a big push - it must mean that there is another Quiltville Winter Mystery coming just around the corner.....

It's been such a wonderful week with the Brown Bird Bee ladies!

Take care and we'll see you back next year!

So today is the day.  As I am typing this Jason and Dave are already at the hospital beginning check in.

To say it was a sleepless night is an understatement.

I gave up and this morning I have already cleaned out and reorganized four kitchen drawers.

Dave won't be able to find anything when he gets home.

But that's just what I need to be doing.

I also cleaned up and reorganized my hand stitching corner near my comfy spot.

It's just what we do, isn't it?

Once the bathrooms have been scrubbed and everything has been dusted, vacuumed, mopped - we start attacking small corners and things within things.

Found in my Facebook memories this morning-

This made me laugh out loud as a couple of years ago I was joking about this quote with Jason when he was going through a kidney stone issue at the ER.

Today I am changing this quote to say this too shall pass, much like a brain tumor, but it will pass.

We will get through this. Today Jason is in the hands of his neurosurgeon and team and we are praying for the best outcome for our son.

Thank you so much for all of your well wishes, prayers, positive thoughts and good juju going out into the universe.

We value your love, friendship and support so much.
