Lady Antebellum - Hello World (Unofficial Music Video)

Thank you, Hodges7, for this YouTube video.  Be sure and read the credits at the end!

A new finish (almost)

Done except for the quilting.  I will most likely have to wait until after Christmas to find somebody to quilt it, but it's one more out of the UFO pile!

An Awesome Giveaway by an Even Awesomer Lady

Vicky, over at LAQuilter, is having an awesome quilt kit giveaway on Thanksgiving morning.  The quilt is beautiful and includes applique.  Check it out for her reason to give away this kit, but don't enter the giveaway -- I want this to be my first applique project so if you enter, it lessens my chances!  But seriously, enter the giveaway, read her blog, fall in love with Penny, and good luck!

Yea - A Finish

This got done the day after Halloween -- but that's not too bad since the embroidery for it was done about 5 years ago.  The pictures were taken from either the internet or a coloring book, I really don't remember now.  And, of course, the orange on the bottom one bled when I ironed it after the embroidery was done  was an attempt at adding a shadow effect.  I don't think it's that crooked in real life -- I just hung it on a nail on the wall (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!)

Fall

I love this time of year!  Should be cooler weather this week at least until the weekend when it goes back into the 90s but in the meantime will be loving the coolness.

Got some more background whites added to my GFG and am almost ready to attach the 3rd flower.  Yesterday I washed and ironed fat quarters to get started on some fall placemats.  Haven't decided on the pattern yet but I have an idea of what I'm going to do.  I'm getting in the mood to sew, sew, sew.

Looking forward to that first cut on the Go cutter that came in last week.

Hot, Hot, Hot

It has been extremely hot the past few days -- 116 degrees yesterday afternoon.  Of course, the electrical powers that be shut off all air conditioners from 3:15 - 6:15 at the hottest time of day.  So looking forward to fall weather, homemade chili and soups, gingerbread, and all that comes along with cooler temperatures. 

Yea

Finally -- I started putting together my GFG with the white background.  It seems to be going much faster than making the individual flowers but I may not think that in a couple of weeks.  I already found my "Amish" piece -- one wrong white piece, but I figure after a couple of washings it might not show.  I've really enjoyed making this but need to get back to machine piecing and finish some bindings now that the weather is cool enough in the evenings to have the quilt on your lap.
