Something New

A coworker became a first time Grandma, and this is what I put together. She has an entire nursery set up for the baby. Scrappy pink, and Boyds Bears!
And my first attempt at free hand fans. I see all the errors, but I really like this process. I need to get together another project to have ready for the cooler nights.

Wait, I have a queen size quilt for DD and DSIL for Christmas. I can do both. Yah, right!

The letters were from Toynas blog, she has taken them down now - but her books should be out soon. Its on my Christmas wish list aready. And it will be #1 on my Birthday List if its out by the first week of November.
Can you see the fan quilting - not a great picture. I need to work on that.

Crumbs

Hanging around on Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville.com website and her "quiltville chat" yahoo group has me wanting a crumb quilt. At one point I also thought I wanted to make a mavrick star quilt. But I lost interest in about 6 squares.

So, ta da....

Unless I get another bruning desire to make more crumb blocks I think this will be another lap quilt - OR an oversized lap quilt.

Maybe a nice top row and a large boarder. I need something to tie this together.

But for now, I have packaged up the blocks and will get it out later...

Tomatoes

I love this time of the year! It is getting cooler out but there are still lots of tomatos .



Here is what the dining room floor looked like a month ago,

And here is what the floor looks like tonight. I could double these baskets up but I want to see the fruit as it ripens, I will not put these until they are a little redder.

I have canned 35 quarts and dehydrated two batches. But it looks like there will be plenty of fresh tomatos for the hamburgers this week, and a few salads of tomatos with basil and motz. yum!!

We pick before they are just right because these came from my mothers garden. This way when I come home from work, I can put up a small batch of 6-8 quarts in the evening. That way it will not be soooo much work on Saturday.

Mac-N-Cheese

Leftover pasta and a bunch of cheese in the fridg.......

A prefect Saturday lunch - with enough for dinner. If Tony isn't around.
