Back to Quilting

The past few months I have been helping the girls at 4-H complete their outfits by the end of the season.  At home I was busy sewing the wedding dresses.  Now 4-H has ended, except for the fair, and the wedding is over.  What to sew now?

Liana has been making Club Penguin stuffed animals and sewing clothes for them.  Arielle has started a summer top.  I decided to finish a quilt I began years ago. I call it my October quilt because it has all the colors of autumn, my favorite season.  The solid squares are made of hand-dyed fabric I bought in Amish country.  Several other fabrics have special meaning and I remember many winter nights by the woodstove as I pieced it.  This quilt was so near to completion but it has been bumped by other projects.  Today I added the final borders.  Now it just needs to be quilted!
