Just a reminder we are not meeting tonight.

I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.  I am thankful for all of you being my friends and my quilting family.  Enjoy your family time and see ya next week.

Tuesday Night Quilters

I was by Lowes yesterday and picked up paint chips for the new Bonnie Hunter mystery.  The colors are bright and beautiful. 

Deer hunting...well not exactly.....

Last Sunday I was coming back from taking my grandson to meet his Momma, about three miles from town a big 7 point decided to cross the highway.  Yes, I got him. Did quite a bit of damage to my blazer, it liked $500 totaling it.  So now I am driving DH's truck until he gets it repaired.  Thank goodness I had full coverage.  Now if that check would show up we could get started fixing it.

We did take the deer, with a little help from sheriff deputy to load it.  And we gave it away.

When DH was getting to me on the highway, we were talking so I could tell him exactly where I was and a doe ran across in front of him.  Had he been driving any faster he would have gotten her.  Man, that would have really made for a bad day.

Be careful driving...these guys are on the prowl right now.

You know if I was going to deer hunt, I much prefer to use a gun.  Lol

Retreat Project, Mini Lone Star, Mini Prairie Moon & Stars

I've made two test blocks for the McCall's "Blue Breeze" retreat project.   I am going to make mine in Pink & White.  I've got to find the name for this block.   Of course I want to try making it in miniature.

I finished quilting & binding this miniature Lone Star last night.  Now I just have to sew the sleeve in place.  It is 11 1/8" square overall.  Why doesn't it look square in the pic???  

Here's the finished top for the Prairie Moon & Stars -  Another mini.   It's about 12" X 14 1/2".   I'm considering taking out and replacing the dark block in the lower right corner.    

I'll be asking the Tue night Pickles to be guinea pigs and taste test a new appetizer recipe tomorrow night. We don't often bring cooked food but this will be like a snack.  It's a bread & cheese thing.  Hope it's yummy.

Back to Square One: October

For this month we had to make 12 of these star blocks. (At least I think I remember it being 12). Should start putting this together in November. I love how this is turning out.
