October Block

[Margo C.]

Phew! I made it! My October block is on my profile. To quote my daughter....

"Wow -- that's a lot of dots!"

Beautiful blocks everyone!

[Margo C.]

Bridget, another great block! I liked looking at you EQ quilt setting. I have actually bought my sashing fabric, but have yet to get started putting it together, as I have been busy playing with my new embroidery machine, and making things for a craft fair.

Loved your backyard quilt! Great job!

Maggie in E. Central Illinois, Hi Ho! Hi Ho! It's off to work I go!

[Margo C.]

Love the block Bridget, that's one wise daughter you have. I have finished my dots and hearts. I have a few more little flowers to go.

Great work Bridget. It's very pretty.

Hi everyone -
I just looked at Bridget's block... and her layout with TEN of her blocks done. It looks so great, and it looks even better, knowing that there are only TWO more blocks before they are done -- then it's just a matter of setting them and basting/quilting everything. It will be so much fun to see everyone's quilts start popping up.... It is exciting for me to see quilts as they actually get finished -- and you all are doing wonderful, creative, inspiring work. Keep it up!

Carla, great block! Just 2 more to go! The excitement is mounting (or is that just the election hoopla!)

Maggie in E. Central Illinois, who has finally turned on her furnace! BRRR!

:cry: With 45 minutes to go, it looks like this will be my first block NOT finished in time... :cry: Although I must admit I'm amazed at myself that I got 9 done on time! This has been a crazier & busier month than most, but my hope is to get it finished in the next few days, and maybe I can make up lost time on November, we'll be travelling to MIL's for T'giving, that's a good 4-hour drive each way, plus of course not having all the "around the house" tasks pulling at me while I'm there.
I HAVE gotten a good start on my 2 graduation quilts, so I'm glad about that, but the hand-work hasn't gotten its due this month...

All of yours are looking beautiful and it's very exciting to imagine putting them together soon!

Looking really good Carla! Forward to November now, isn't it?

I finished my October block on the way to Houston. I still have to take a picture to post. All Oct. blocks are really great.

Whew! I finished October yesterday, and dang it, the camera is on the fritz... I'll try to borrow from DS & get a pic up, but might be next week...
But at least November isn't half-way over yet, and I've got 8+ hours in the car this weekend (not counting the 8+ that I'll be driving, sharing w/ my sis) So I got November drawn on the block and fabrics picked, bias strips made, ready to go, ready to sew!

Finally finished my October block. Life kept getting in the way. It is on my profile. Camille

[Lynn K.]

Nice Camille. What did you use for applique thread? King Tut?

[Lynn K.]

Camille, your block looks like a bright, sunny autumn day! Great job!

Maggie in E. Central Illinois

[Lynn K.]

Thanks Maggie and Lynn. Yes, I did use the King Tut thread, I love it. Camille
