FRIDAY
I cut lots of fabric strings from my red fabric stash, which I will sew onto 5 1/2" squares foundations cut from telephone book pages. These will be cut into triangles like the ones above to use in my Talking Turkey blocks.
SATURDAY
The mailman brought this wonderful quiltlet that my friend Barbara made for me.
Here's the back. Barbara added small triangles at the top corners so that I can use a pencil or small dowel to hang it if I choose. Or I can use it for a rug mug or just to grace a table top during the Halloween/Autumn season. Thank you, Barbara. I love it.
Also on Saturday, while I watched the Bama Crimson Tide beat the stuffings out of the Texas A&M Aggies, I did some hand quilting on the "Trick or Tree" wall hanging. I got about 3/4 of the tree quilted. I'm thinking when the tree is finished, I will quilt spider webs into the background and probably follow the swirly design that's in the border fabric to quilt the border.
Sunday
My sister Ramey and I attended a play at our local Leeds Arts Council. It was a murder mystery with a fun twist. The actors were excellent, but the chairs were hard and straight and made my back hurt.
I'm going to have to get myself one of those ergonomic back cushions that I can take around with me to make away-from-home seating more comfortable, even at church.

Loving your quilt projects! We are still in the throes of moving (envision Ma and Pa Kettle in a pick up truck.). As an idea for Halloween tree----somewhere in that sack of fabric I gave you was a spool of glow in the dark thread. I was originally going to use it to quilt spider webs. Spooky?
