FALL!!! ( and a Moose)

 I am skipping the travel log of our Labor Day weekend today because. FALL!!

Fall is my Absolute Favorite Time of year - and so!! I begged the man to take a vacation day ( didn't take much begging)

and off we went - to see what we could see - and lawsy Mercy....

I found what I was looking for!!!

The Drama of the colors - the contrast between land and sky.... 

The ability to watch a storm move in.... the smell

and lookie there!!!

a Big ol Daddy moose was watching us - and you can bet... we did NOT get closer, or even try to be friends - he was amazing!! and protecting a momma and baby moose.... I value my life...

These were my favorite shots of the day - but you know ... there were more!!

I even found another barn for QuiltDivaJulie of the Build  A Barn Book Fame!!!!

My Sew Weekend

This weekend was supposed to be the big sew weekend, and

it was, and it was fun, and I am happy  now. Well, I wasn't really unhappy before, so I guess I am just happier!

 My first goal was to get my fall foliage quilt cut out. After playing with the fabrics I am not sure fall foliage is what I should call it.... but Little Bit liked the name.
       Yes - it is cut out, and I even sewed 4, almost 6 sets together ( 5 and 6 are in the halfway stages)

My second goal was to make 10 Betty blocks - I did not get 10, I have 6 completed and three in the works. I am sort of being a perfectionist on these. If you know me, you know that perfection is tough for me to attain, but I am even Pinning these blocks so I have a chance. Do any of you pin your blocks?

My third goal was to take pictures of all the Quilts of Valor that have arrived this last week. Oh - ALMOST - I did. Today I had a bunch of Quilts out across the couches and I got called for a QOV emergency.... want to know about it? 

 Hee hee - you have to come back tomorrow - it deserves its own post!

I didn't even get to the other two goals, so they will just have to roll over.... There is always tomorrow right?
