finally fall

and the temps concur!  that means can get more outside walking done.  but there is always time for sewing, especially with windows open and no noisy fans or A/C running.  

batik baskets is ready to bind....definitely a september finish, yay!  cross another off the september list! 

the little blue bathroom quilt is also done...list getting shorter. a definite humble quilt but will perk up the bathroom.

the kim diehl piece is just about ready to baste and quilt...october finish maybe?

and finally, my solids bow tie is in the hoop!  color me thrilled!  i want this to be done before 2025 arrives...and thin the to-be-quilted pile.  this is a big quilt and the walker will be used as a frame to rest it on while quilting...using aurifil 28 wt thread, my hands-down favorite.  

this weekend will tackle the chookshed challenge to squeak in under the wire of september and also bind the batik baskets.  hoping the UFO list will be shorter in 2025.   

september has been a great month so far...good weather, plenty of exercise and family issues that got sorted.  next month fall/winter clothes get pulled out along with winter menus.  day by day rebuilding life despite the still-present gaping hole that comes with loss of someone dear.  holidays ahead and expect they will be low key, especially as the first since mom passed away.  my aunt passed away a few years ago on christmas day, so we feel blessed mom's death was earlier.  ***  a blessed thursday to all!
