October shenanigans

Have you heard of the children's book "The little ghost who was a quilt"?  HERE  One of the quilt guild members read it for fun to us at last quilt meeting. Who knew there would then be a #quiltyghost spring up on Instagram. This last weekend another quilt guild I am in held a retreat. Unfortunately I did not attend but my friend Jen from  Jennifer under the Juniper tree  blog and fellow quilt guild member, crashed the retreat for a few minutes. After we took our quilts and frolicked through the camp grounds taking a few snaps.  My favorite one was trying to sew a colorful patch but it looked like I was sewing myself...ha We laughed so hard and got a little sweaty not to mention dried leaves in a few unexpected places but all in all fun shenanigans.  Go check out Instagram #quiltyghost 

Before the Fall...

It has been ages since I have posted here. I had great intentions of course but just never seemed to get to the sewing machine much and so I felt I had nothing to post. On clearing off my phone photos I found I DID have some things of a creative nature going on. So first up is a newly made berm. We had a huge pile of dirt left over from replacing our front stoop and so we dumped here in the back yard and  tried my hand at a bit of landscaping.  My husband made a small bubbler out of a huge rock from the farm and I planted.  We loved all the bees and bugs and butterflies this summer. The birdhouse was also added and I can not tell you how much time we spent watching a family of wrens being created! Some of the amazing summer color.  Then right before the county fair and an outdoor quilt show I was going to participate in I fell at an outdoor guild swap sale. I don't even know how I did it but these knee bruises are post fall by 3 weeks. I still have bruising and scar tissue twinges
