A Finish for Fall

      I did lots of prep work, sewing and quilting this week. The weather has been cooler and I spent a few mornings working in the yard. Of course, there is always plenty to do.  I made an unplanned trip to the mountains to help my sister with her Fiber art group's booth Saturday at “Art on the Mountain” in West Jefferson, NC. It was a fun day.

     In the sewing room I cut and prepared 4 charity quilt kits. The fabric was donated and only one piece came from my stash so most is not counted in my Stash Report. One morning Joan and I met to sew and stuff shelter cat beds. We finished 8 and several more are in progress. We have plenty of scraps to stuff many more when we take time to cut and sew the covers.

How I did on my goals for last week:

1. Quilt more on “Celtic Fantasy”. Done.

Quilting is progressing.

2. Make progress on a UFO. Finished.

I chose my “Fall Memories -2” wall-hanging to work on. It is #2 because I used the same pattern to make one for my son and DIL.  I would even like to make a tablerunner to go with it. The top was ready to be quilted. It is a Laundry Basket Quilts pattern and all fusible applique. I did FM straight stitch along the edge of each piece and then added veins on leaves, etc. I quilted swirls in the background and finished hand sewing the binding Sunday evening.

3. Work on fall theme mug rugs for homebound. Done. I have 8 tops made.
