November's Monthly Mini

 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 

Cross Stitch.

"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.
