Quilt Season

The wind comes now out of the north; 

the leaves are falling and the colors are stunning.

And I've completed my fourth quilt top of this,

my most favorite time of the year--affectionately 

and appropriately dubbed Quilt Season.

Truthfully, I started this one last spring.  The garden 

took my time away from it then, but here it is now:   

From the Schnibbles pattern "Summer Day",

this quilt, with its single border, measures 49 X 53. 

To make it larger, and because I had the fabric,

I added more rows/columns and may yet 

add still another border.

 I'm not real proud of my piecing on this one.

Lots of little pieces, esp triangles (bias), can just get 

things out of whack sometimes but when it's 

all done, I think it'll look fine.  

 I was very happy to finally have a stiletto to help 

me out with all that piecing!
A belated shout out to Debbie at Stitching Therapy:

I won this stiletto and other goodies a while back

and just want to let her know how much its being

used!  My previous "stiletto" was a wooden skewer!

This one hangs on my lanyard with my scissors

where they are both always handy.

On the coffee scene, the red cups are back

at Starbucks!  Another sign of the season that

I always look forward to!  Peppermint mochas and

caramel brûlée lattes, cold weather outside, maybe 

a little light Christmas music?

(and I mean just something instrumental--way too early for Jingle Bells!)  

Perfect for hibernating in the sewing room!

Now, do I put Summer Day away till after the holidays?

I'd much rather be working on seasonal colors...
