If you’ve wondered how much writing I’ve gotten done lately, running around with the children’s various sports activities as well as my own, the answer is not much. I’ve done a bit of editing and polishing on my latest manuscript but new stuff? Who has the time?
I also had a few projects hanging around that needed finishing. One of which was a queen sized quilt that a friend commissioned to give as a gift for an autumn wedding. I like to call it Autumn Fire because it’s so bright:
There is a wide green “fire break” border on the edge to cool it off a bit and the other side is a nice calm beige floral for reversibility.
I also whipped up one other fresh project over the weekend. This one has been living in a my head a while so it was nice to get it out of there! I plan to back it with a light green flannel printed with bugs. Cute for a baby quilt, no?
I’d like to make this one again using blues and a few pops of yellow.
Next on my list of things to make? Scarves and hats for the children. We’ll be making our first ever Christmas visit to the US, back to northern Minnesota. Could there be any more shockingly cold time of year to visit for desert dwellers like us?? I never have learned to knit so I’m going to use remnants of fleece blankets to make them. Soft and cuddly.
My only other pressing UFO? A pitch to present at the writer’s conference…
Gorgeous quilts! I love the autumn one especially!
