November Happenings

The past few weeks

have been very busy,

but a "fun" busy.

The best kind.

***

Sometimes there's important 

sewing that needs to be done

and it definitely, 

takes precedence.

 

When second graders learn about

early Fort Collin pioneer history

 they need the appropriate costume.

"Let it snow, let it snow..."

Yes, we had some snow.

I measured 18" before

it finally stopped.

I'm thankful we

had some good helpers to shovel.

Last Saturday started off 

like most Saturdays although

it was my twin daughter's 35th birthdays

Later, when the doorbell rang,

I had a totally awesome surprise.

My Florida daughter had secretly flown to Colorado

to celebrate her birthday with

her twin sister here in Fort Collins.

Happy Birthday #1

to 

Happy Birthday, now.

I finished my November small quilt,

obviously just before it snowed!

"Cinnamon Toast"

40" x 40"

The design was inspired by one

of Jo Morton's patterns.

I love working with

these typical November colors

and these small hst's.

Each month, I've made my small quilts

to fit on my coffee table and be

part of my seasonal decor.

Feathers are one of my favorite

quilt designs and I try to practice them 

whenever I can.

Wendy,  the Constant Quilter, used a backing

that looked like turkey feathers.

for her November quilt.

  I found

an old Nancy Halverson fabric in my stash,

and I'm thankful it's now gone!!

It's time to flip another

calendar page, but before you do,

check out Wendy's blog to see

what others have been stitching.

Until Next Time-
