Fall quarter goal

I am doing fairly well on getting things done lately. Last month, I was able to finish the one top below, 3 pillowcases. and finish the patchwork for placemats.  Not bad for one month.

This week, I completed the borders on the Wisconsin quilt and gave it to the quilter Friday.
She said she would have it done this next week. Hooray! 

Plus I am finally getting my grandson's quilt back from the quilter which was dropped off August 25.
I want to take it with us when we visit in the middle of October. That way I don't have to pay postage.
Plus they will be moving into their new digs soon after.

So my first and second  goals is to bind those 2 quilts. And fortunately both bindings are already prepared. That was the project I did last weekend during the football game when Green Bay actually won.

This photo was not yet fully assembled and without the borders.

Third goal is to assemble the placemats now that I have the patchwork completed and the background selected.  The left is the inspiration from pinterest. The right photo are the patchwork lengths on top of the background fabric.

      


Fourth goal is to assemble my flannel quilt Over the Moon, by Thimbleblossoms. Blocks are made and sashings cut out.  I still have some flying geese to make.  I really want this to be finished for my couch.  And I already have a minky chocolate brown backing.

And if I even get to it, my fifth goal is to get my last 3 blocks for Henrietta and her pumpkins ready to stitch.

And if by chance I switch moods, I have my Gooseberry sampler to finish. It would be nice to have it for Christmas.
       

So here we go:

Snow day!

Well winter is indeed here in Wisconsin.  Last Wednesday we had 10 inches of snow and got to stay home.  And last night we had another big snowstorm and another day off.  That is a bench on my back porch and you can see the snow is up to the top in spots. The snow plow blocked the driveway on the pass later this morning. Fortunately, we had nowhere to go and we bought a new snow blower for this season. The previous one  was still working but over 40 years old from DH's dad.  The snow will shift as the winds approach . I just saw the news and it says almost 60 below chill factor on Wednesday morning.  It looks like a record. 

But  I have been working on a new project which involves Woolies fabric. I am slowly getting a few blocks done and some of the setting patchwork. This flannel is easy to work with. 

    

The Over the Moon pattern is below from Thimble Blossoms, but I am using the brown tweed in replace of the navy.  I had a Woolie layer cake to choose the plaids from. It was easy to order the pattern online. 

It feels good to work on the machine.
