From Fall to Summer...

new header photo is Pemaquid Lighthouse, now getting walloped by Hurricane Lee.  Left Maine beach feeling quite autumnal back to summer-like Maryland weather.  was a grand vacay with my family and chowing down oodles of seafood. after a horrific first day where my car was violated and battery stolen, am slowly re-acclimating to maryland life and home.  finally sat down at machine last night for a brief sewing escape....

another wedding quilt twosie....going to assemble the squares in twos and then find a very big table to lay it out....probably at the library as i don't have that much space here in the apartment....

more on the amish buggy wheels....only 4 more arcs to sew and will have all i need....did i bust some solids scraps?  sure but impossible to see the void...

and what i hope to be the last in process photo of the jan patek nativity wall quilt....my shepherds look pretty good eh?  just finish up the last king and the little legs on the sheep and it'll be ready to flimsify....meaning put the top together.  this WILL be a finish for this Christmas for sure i'm thinking...

this week something doing sunday thru thursday for a change, usually have days with nothing to do plus back to gym monday.  when arriving home daughter presented me with birthday gifts....money to fix the belt on the Singer and this...

so the truth is revealed....i'm a 'sewciopath'.....LOL!  (PS she's a psych nurse so she knows!)

ERRATA:  Actually header is photo of Nubble Light in York, Maine, in autumn...

Packing up

One last seafood meal, one last ocean vista, a last hug from mom (til november!) and 2023 beach trip filed away...and sewing goals?

My 3 kings block almost done....

And just to make sure i didn't run out of things to do, picked up internet pattern, floss and fabric for a christmas gift...

Today is day 2 of inclement weather so no lounging under outside umbrella to avoid sun...a great place to stitch!

And yes that is the ocean in the distance, a short 5 minute walk to sand and surf!
