friday again?

sure is a challenge to keep track of the days sometimes....with very few commitments for my time, a week seems like just one very long day...LOL!  sewing was at a snail's pace but picked up past couple of days...the featherweight has been humming with more of those batik scrap squares...

photo taken just before sunrise but you can see she is busy....i've also been working on the 3 minis for the rest of the year.  october top is done, november top in progress and fabrics pulled for december.  quilting on the gift quilt continues....october finish?  doubtful but close...and breakfast included some hot blues....only half gallons of milk in store, way too much for me, that needed to be used.

yes i do cook a lot....keeping to very low sodium intake demands it, but have streamlined quantity cooking and freezer is my best friend.  *** farmer's market slowing down but still some choices as no killing frost quite yet...not too far away i would guess.   *** october has got to be my favorite month.  in new england the foliage is outstanding, crisp air nights with warm days just right for anything, autumn fairs, aroma of apples baking, cozy flannel duds, luscious orange pumpkins everywhere, quilts back on beds...a quilty peep gave me permission to use this photo she took near her home....gladi porsche is an amazing quilter with many varied interests...if you haven't seen her work, you simply must.  she blows me away with her applique work and execution of beautiful quilts...thank you gladi for sending a bit of new england for me to drool over!
