MID MONTH BLOCK EDITION

After a super busy week-end, I felt a little retail therapy was in order.  This long anticipated book finally came in to the shop so I took one home.

 So much eye candy

I'm working towards a finish on my Glorious Fall quilt from last year

Twin blocks for a new swap I joined     (more on that at month's end)

the first block of the Saturday Sampler at Katja's    I actually zipped into the shop on my way to the wedding to get my block so I wouldn't have to pay the five bucks.  What can I say--it was on the way!!

finally FINALLY the first block I've done from Linda's quilt along. I decided on all solids because I have a plan

slowly working my way through the Tula Pink City Sampler book

and just one more pic from the wedding. I am so used to seeing these guys in their grubby work clothes. They clean up so well!

Have a wonderful rest of the week.

ONE MORE LITTLE GIFT

We are counting down to the wedding now.  I thought that seeing the quilt was done already, I might have time to make a couple of pillow cases to go with it. I had heard so much about the pillow case pattern that is sewn in a tube, so I thought I would give it a try. They are as easy as anything to sew : )

My daughter works in a commercial embroidery shop so I asked her if she'd be able to embroider some maple leaves on a cuff for me. This is what she came up with.

I don't know what young people these days think of matching pillow cases, but hopefully they will like them. I think they look good with the quilt.

not sure why the cuff looks so dark here.........

Have yourself a lovely week-end.
