Going Off Line~

Oh that sounds bad! LOL But just wanted to remind y'all that my computer is headed for a check up and I'll be without the rest of the week/weekend. I'll be sewing! :-) 

Can you help my friend Karen at Briarside Lane?  She is having a problem with everyone's comments coming to her email as 'no-comment blogger' when we know for a fact that the people leaving the comments are showing up right for everyone else. It's very strange, even her own comments come to her email that way. If you have any tips for her, I'm sure she'd appreciate it! Thanks!

My Fall Into Fall Giveaway will end the 18th. So there is still time to enter! :-)

Since every post needs a photo ;-) I'll leave you with this one. It was a JoAnn's BOM, but I bought the patterns at the end of the year, so had to substitute some of the blocks and fabrics. It hung on the wall in our other house, here it will be on our bed. ;-)

 Until Monday~
Happy stitchin'!

I forgot that I'd made two of these! I gave one away and found mine just the other day.

A Kim Diehl pattern

A Sudoku pattern in batiks

              From my friend Lindsay~ both look wonderful in my kitchen!

Autumn Fun~

Today was a perfectly lovely autumn day! Blue sky, slight breeze, nature displaying her gorgeous colors!
 

I picked this pattern on a card up at my LQS a while ago, and thought I'd get busy today! I cut out 2 kits for the table runner.  Why make only one, when two will go together just as fast? ;-) I'm working on putting together some kits so when I have a few minutes to sew~ I can take advantage of it! Tomorrow I plan to work on a few more kits.

Thank you for all the wonderful anniversary wishes! :-) I wish y'all could've been there; it was a day like today.
And if you are looking for my Fall into Fall Giveaway~ go HERE. I will draw on the 18th. :-)

I hope you had a perfectly lovely day too!
Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
