Featherstone Quiltworks

Ahhh, fall!  I should be outdoors, feet rustling through the leaves, camera slung around my neck, taking wonderful autumn photos, right?  Nooo, I get a sinus headache just thinking of all the dust, molds & mildew, and whatever else is lurking out there.  Here are a couple of Out My Window pictures from this morning.  I thought I should post some real fall pictures, since the last outside pictures I posted had snow in them!  And yes, that was this year!  This morning’s view of the pond:

Here’s a snowy peek back to the photo from a week ago today.  We have to enjoy the sunshine while we can; rain is on its way.

The crab apple tree out my kitchen window has been providing apple snacks for the robins.  They will come back and eat the withered left-overs in the spring.  No robin in this picture, just apples:

Remember my crayon challenge I had on my “design floor” yesterday for our guild meeting last night?  I was a month early — it’s not due until the November meeting!!!  The good news is, I’m done a month early.  Here a photo of the little candle mat quilted:

  And it’s really true — it isn’t a quilt until it’s quilted!

ps:  I’m off to my 3rd (of three) applique classes this afternoon.  I have my applique pieces all stitched down except for five of the berries — I saved those so I would have something to sew during class today.  Then I will have to decide how to quilt it — machine or by hand???
