Autumn Quilts

I have some of my Autumn quilts out and displayed. "Dancing Leaves" looks nice, I think, hanging the foyer.

Skipper and I enjoyed snuggling under “Autumn Charm” last night while I read and Skipper snoozed.

I have a few more Autumn quilts that will probably make it out of hiding before the season is over--I hope. 

Still not quite finished with the “Star Spangled Summer” top. I plan to finish it tomorrow while Anna is here cleaning. But today, I have to run to the grocery store, then I plan to spend the afternoon back under “Autumn Charm” reading Great Expectations. (I’m sure Skipper will get in a bit more snoozing too.) Reading The Little Stranger, which I finished yesterday, put me in a Charles Dickens kind of mood and I decided to reread this wonderful classic, starring Pip, Miss Faversham, and many more wonderful characters

Happy Autumn, everyone. Not official for a few more days, but it’s definitely autumn-like here, with cool nights and warm, dry days. We’re even seeing little hints of color among the trees and foliage.

Your quilts are very fallish. I do not have any in this color but do have MANY. Vintage and new. Lots of them are hand quilted.

Getting There

The new Blackberry Creek is getting close to completion. Thank you, Jed for all your work. I've finally found a minute to get still and learn to post. Doesn't seem too difficult. When all the old posts and photos get transferred, we'll start working on the layout.  Today, I'm going to attempt to scale the stairs and do some work in the sewing room. I'm falling father and farther behind on my schedule to get things ready for the June 2026 quilt show.

Book Talk

To celebrate getting the border sewn on to my millefiori quilt, I decided to read a book--all the way through without stopping to sew anything. And I picked just the right one: Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano. If I had wanted to put it aside to sew, I don’t think I could have. This is the best book I’ve read for at least a year. It’s one of those stories that almost reads itself. You don’t feel like you reading but just enjoying an enthralling story. The pages fly by, and you’ve finished the book way before you’re ready to leave those wonderful but broken characters. The main character, Eddie (Edward) Adler, at the age of 12, survives an airliner crash. The crash claims 191 lives, including his parents and older brother. For the next six years, Edward struggles to carve out a place for himself in a world without his family. The story is heartbreaking and at the same time uplifting.  If you’re looking for a good book to read to usher in Autumn, I recommend this one highly...

Catching Up

This is my new granddog Ozzy. Daughter Andy recently adopted him. He initially showed up at Jesse's girlfriend's house, and after trying unsuccessfully to find his owner, she made him at home. But having one dog, two children, three cats, and a full-time job already, Ozzy (his name was Chip at the time) became too much for her. So Andy took him in. At first she was sure she had made a mistake. Not having ever owned a dog that she was responsible for (we had dogs from time to time when she was a child), she was sure she had bitten off more than she could chew. But things are settled down, and Andy and Ozzy have bonded. They visit me frequently, usually on Saturday to watch the Bama game--or in the case of last Saturday, to watch movies as there was no Bama game. Ozzie is a very good dog and appears to be well cared for. He had not been snipped, but he has been now. And the vet gave him a clean bill of health. As of yesterday, all the blocks, all 120 of them, are finished fo...
