Happy Halloween! And it's almost November! 

These last few weeks have been busy around here! 

I've had time to do some small bits of work, Like sewing the binding onto the front of my Orange X Block Medallion Quilt and folding and pinning it to the back for hand sewing.

Then I did a small bit of rearranging on my Cabins in a Field Quilt inspired by a Temecula Quilt Co.sew along, Down Home Darlin'. 

I found that one of the Log Cabin blocks was not turned true to pattern. I could have left it for that imperfect touch. But it bothered me, so when I had some time I unpicked and turned it true to pattern, pieced the block in and then I was happy with it!

Also I finished the hand quilting on my small improv scrap quilt, which is 3rd in a Series of small quilts that I pieced using scraps; Kona Cotton Solids and prints, and plaids from repurposed cotton work shirts I found at a local thrift shop. In all three of these little quilts I wanted to do as much as I could by hand, hand piecing and quilting and I used scissors for cutting. Of course sometimes I was in a hurry to finish the piecing and got the sewing machine out!

As soon as I sew on the binding, by hand, on #3 I will feature the 3 small quilts in a post with the story behind them.

And our walks have been beautiful and inspiring with the leaves on trees turning fall colors.

Neighbors down the street have a small Persimmon tree in front of their house. I wasn't quick enough to get a photo of the persimmons on the tree before they were picked, but I did get a photo of the beautiful colors of the leaves before the wind blows them away!

That Quilt Friends is the news from the valley! Where we're remembering to be thankful.

Have you been enjoying fall colors? 

I'll be by to visit!
