My quilting bee met at Cyndi's on Monday (pics below). Afterward I stopped by JoAnn's Fabrics and bought enough fabric to back Karen's quilt (pic below).
Yesterday I voted (no pics). Enough said about that. I could have stayed home, and I knew it. But I just think it's the right thing to do, vote. Even when you know it's a hopeless case.
I think this is the hottest November I can ever remember in my life. The pump for the downstairs air conditioner gave up the ghost yesterday, so I'm having to make do with the ceiling fans until that gets repaired. Not too bad as long as I sit right under the fan.
So below are the pics I promised.
One of Nancy's quilts. She says this is the first "modern" quilt she has made.
Nancy's Dino quilt. I have a copy of the. pattern. It's a free pattern on Nancy's daughter Lynn's quilt shop site (https://alamosaquilter.blogspot.com). I plan to make one for one of the children's charity's we support.
Doris shows us one of her charity quilts. Doris tells us that since she got her long-arm she has quilted 835 quilts. She didn't make all the tops, but that's still quite a fete. She's had her machine just a few years.
Another beautiful charity quilt quilted by Doris.
Backing fabric for Karen's log cabin quilt.
Karen's log cabin quilt (The top is finished now, but I don't have a photo.) I think the binding will be black. What do you think?
Bella in the kitchen waiting for me to give her her midday treats.
Now I'll retire to the kitchen myself to make shepherd's pie for a late lunch.

I love those wonderful quilts and am so glad you got to go to the Bee gathering!!
Great backing fabric for Karen's Log Cabin and methinks I'd use a TOT dark gray for the binding. There is something to consider.
Our weather is oddly warm, too, but perhaps in a week or so - if the forecast doesn't change - we will have seasonal chilly days and colder nights.
Hugs!

Yes, I voted even though I knew the futility. Love the log cabin quilt. Black binding is nice. Any reason you would not bind in red? ;) My Lizbeth has her choice of beds and if I am not quick in the morning there will be one unmade bed...which annoys me no end!! lol
