November has come
and pretty much gone.
I have though, been able to spend
a little time in my sewing room.
This month's mini
was a free download earlier in the fall
from Pam Buda
and is now available
as a $5 digital download.
Autumn Along Coal Creek
21" x 28"
I took Pam's pattern
and added more 6" blocks.
I had several of her fabrics,
Cheddar and Coal
and added a few others, of course.
The border is a very old Thimbleberries print, but
was the perfect choice.
You never know when one of those
oldies still works.
I added a flange binding which
made the binding process go a little faster.
Besides, it added a spark of cheddar
at the end.

I also finished a couple of
X-stitch projects.
Boo and Whoo
Designed by Misty Pursel
Of Luminous Fiber Arts.
I mounted each piece on a
glossy black wooden block.
I used some older Nancy Halverson
orange fabric and
a bit of black rick rack.
Now they'll be ready for next October.

This next one was a free design
from Sheri of Colorado
"Thankful" is being modeled by
Turkey Jack, one of
my favorite Thanksgiving decorations.
He was made years ago and
joins us every year.

I discovered, as I was
selecting quilts for my
November fence display, that
this month theme was
the color,
we lovingly refer to,
as Cheddar.
This month's lineup is one of my favorites.
