Fall is certain here to stay. The garden is clean so that means more time out in the barn. I believe that I have spend more time out there in the last two weeks than I did all summer. I can't believe how busy the garden and yard keep me. Next year Steve will be retired, so I'll have much more summer help :) I've started one quilt with the flannel, but it is a Christmas present, so can't show it for a long time, LOL. I also have two other projects finished that I can't show, LOL. Oh, well they make great posts for later :) Have a sweet week my friend.

I have a brother in Florida, last week when I talk to him they had contractors doing repairs to their home. How scary was that! As for my fabric I ordered this from Hancock's of Paducah. You can find them on-line and if you order $70 (which isn't hard to do) the shipping is free. Also they have very good sales on quality fabric brands.

I love the fabrics you chose, and the fact that they're flannel. You'll have so much fun working your quilting magic with those fabulous colors and patterns. So smart of you to stack those two storage pieces and have chalkboards to boot! It is such a pleasure to see the photo of the spot in your kitchen where you hung the collage. It does my heart good to see that it really does fit in well, as I expected it would. I'm humbled by your kind words and can only say once more that I am the one who's blessed by our friendship. More than you'll ever know.

How fun to get fabric in the mail! I just LOVE going to a sweet little quilt shop. There is one here about 30 miles away, and it has everything I just love. I don't dare go there very often as I spend too much and then the fabric just sits in my stash. But sure is fun to look at! You USE yours and make wonderful things! At the moment, I'm into making some paper Christmas projects, but sewing is on my mind also. I only have a little space to sew, so is hard to spread out and that's why, I guess, that I only make little things. I bet those flannel quilts will be awesome.. love the colors, and I remember years ago when I was so thrilled that "they" came out with printed flannels and printed corduroy. I still have some old pieces of printed corduroys that I was going to make some vests out of. Enjoy your week sewing.. it's so fun to see what you are up to! Oh, and I DID get outside the other day and cut down all of the dead stuff and it all looks so much better. Phew.. did it before the rains start. Hugs..
