Quilt News! Sawtooth Borders Improv Quilt Top Finish! Mary Hogan's New Book Log Cabin Improv, Road Trip to Point Defiance Park, Tacoma, WA and Fall Flowers

Point Defiance Park, Tacoma, WA, Deer roam freely, not very shy.

Formal Rose Garden at Point Defiance Park has a high fence around it to protect from the deer.

Fort Nisqually is a national living historic museum, also in Point Defiance Park.

The kitchen garden in Fort Nisqually Museum, I love gardens.

My Sawtooth Border Improv quilt with small yellow border added and two sawtooth borders.

The two HSTs in the top left are sewn in upside down, need to be taken out.

This book is the best book on Log Cabin improv design I've seen! Written by Mary Hogan.

 Hello Quilt Friends! 

The fall weather has been sunny and warm and we have been on many road trips the last couple of weeks taking advantage of the sun before the rains come and they will come! 

We visited Point Defiance in Tacoma, WA. It's a big park with a zoo, an aquarium, a formal rose garden and forest trails and a fantastic beach. Superb!

This last week I also finished experimenting and picking out seams and adding borders here and there and finally deciding on a design I liked for my Sawtooth Border Improv Scrap Quilt. Yey! 

Also I found Mary Hogan's new book, Log Cabin Improv, at my library and it was so good I had to buy my own copy. It is the best book on improv I've seen. The photos are great and Mary has an excellent way of explaining the process. I highly recommend her book.

And that is the quilt news from the valley, where the fall sun is shining and it's time to get dinner started.

Remembering to be thankful and I'll be by to visit!
