I love the Fall

This is why I think I'll always live on the east coast....

I love how my yard looks when the leaves change different colors when it cools off.

We actually had snow one day during the week but nothing accumulated in my neck of the woods, other parts of NJ did get a lot and I'm told it accumulated! I am anxiously awaiting our first snow storm!!!

Here's what I'm working on.....

Lemme see if I can get all the facts straight on this....Back I think in 2006 Michelle sent Robin and I the pattern and fabric every month to do this "Ramblin Rose Meets Jamestown" BOM. The fabrics are gorgeous but I got bogged down crabbin and complainin that I had to do something like 23 or 24 log cabin blocks. I got half done, school opened, the bag of fabric and blocks got shoved into a cabinet and there they stayed until about 6 weeks ago. At that time I was searching for something else and came across 2 unmade blocks. I made one and then half made the other..... Today in my cleaning frenzy I found the half made block on top of the fabric and decided I'd set them, if I could! I laid the blocks out on pointe and then started playing with the log cabins, which happened to fit nicely, and only had to fix 1 block (can you see which one?) Michelle C found it and alerted me to it before I had sewn too far on the top... I auditioned a green for the first border and the black for the final border. Only thing I didn't foresee is not having enough of the tan floral to make the 4 corner triangles so I quickly ordered that (thank heavens a shop online had enough) and now to wait and see when that comes. I'm hoping to finish the top assembly tonight and since I am off Thursday and Friday for teachers convention, I can maybe attach the borders then.....

How has your weekend been?
