a post on stashbusters' yahoo group from betty at the West Houston Quilt Guild:
Thank You to Stash Busters
After putting out an appeal to
the Yahoo group, Stash Busters,
concerning our loss we have
received donations from all over
the continental US as well as
from Hawaii. These generous
ladies have donated dozens of
quilt tops (with/without backing),
numerous complete quilts
in every design possible, several
hundred yards of fabric, rolls of
batting (count is up to 6), jelly
rolls, complete quilt kits, miscellaneous
tools, and assorted 1 to
1 1/2 yard pieces, gift cards and
checks.

charm-ing surprise!
thursday's post brought me this little surprise....
a small packet filled with big color....a charm pack of kaffe blues/greens...this will go directly into the pouch with my applique project and the other kaffes that came last week...what a lovely surprise after a sorta chaotic week...culminating with taking miss subaru in for some maintenance and a search for that awful odor that, unfortunately, could not be narrowed down. more tests were recommended but alas, the car repair budget is busted so will have to muddle along hoping that it's nothing life threatening. then a quick trip to farm stand for cider and last-gasp little cukes...have put off fall veggies until all the summer ones have gone by. *** this weekend devoted to apartment tidy, a bit of work, some much-needed sewing (for my mental wellbeing) and relax for medical tests next week. nothing serious, just regular life-stage monitoring. summer is back for a few days so gotta find those shorts!

the awful truth
such a beautiful october day belies the ugly truth that i had NO finishes this month at all...have sewed plenty but didn't quite get anything done. not for lack of trying, certainly, but now that the last quarter of the year has arrived, must knock off at least ONE UFO at the absolute minimum. the QOV will ABSOLUTELY be done but it isn't one of my official UFOs. no doubt in the ever-growing flimsy pile is something small that will work. but the day is just too gorgeous to spend much time perseverating on this, so i'll close and get back to leaf peeping from my near-penthouse across the vista to the catoctins....
