October monthly recap.........

I'm pretty happy with my October sewing.  I finished three quilt tops, 2 that were in progress previously and one that was started and finished in October.  From left to right: Australian fabric Hunter Star 59" x 70", Batik kite star 61" x 76" and Australian fabric triangles 60" x 80".

Even though 2 of them are made from Australian fabrics I limited my choices in the Hunter star and had very little green and orange.  In the triangle quilt however I used all of my collection so there are golds, oranges and quite a bit of green in it along with the same fabrics that are in Hunter Star.

The month was busy with my daughter here for 2 weeks while we worked together on my new website and pop-up shop that was open for 14 days.  There were many trips to post office.  November will be busy too with my whole family coming for Thanksgiving.  I haven't seen all of my grandchildren together for many years so I hope the weather cooperates.

What a wonderful month for quilt tops! I really can't pick just one as a favorite. There is something about each one that makes it just perfect. Your holiday plans sound wonderful and I know you will be so excited for the full family to be together.

I'm glad you managed to get so much sewing done, with all the other things going on in your life. How lovely to have all your family and grandchildren visiting for Thanksgiving. My daughter lives with me and my Granddaughter lives down south so it's not often we 3 get together - not the same as a big family get together like yours :)

looks like some pretty good finishes considering all going on with you this past 6 weeks or so

Wanda, I'm so happy you'll have the whole family together at Thanksgiving, knowing how special that is. It's usually difficult to arrange and lots of work, so hopefully Mother Nature will be kind and everyone brings something for the family feast.
Love all the quilts, but the middle one is a definite favorite. Enjoy your day.

You had a busy month and got a lot done while you were still recovering. Good job! I have a feeling November is going to go by fast.

All of the quilt tops are full of life and energy. Sounds like a great month ahead.

Well I'm 'pretty happy with your October finishes" too. Really, each one is spectacular, especially stars and leaves (*._.*). You have designed and tailored each one to perfection.
