September Nears Its End

As we are about to wrap up another month, it occurs to me that I ought to remind readers who did not follow through with the Quilter's Meet and Greet from early in September, that the giveaways are still open for entering. I still need to check out a handful of the participants, so as soon as I post this, I am heading over to Benita's blog to finish visiting all the featured quilters. Here is a link to my post on Meet and Greet day.

In that post, I shared a picture of one quilt that I'd entirely made by hand. I now have that quilt on our bed, so I figured this would be a good time to let you take a look.

Our bed is queen-sized, and the quilt just barely touched the sides. It is plenty long enough, but I should have added a couple more columns of stars to widen it a bit. Oh, well. I still love it. The star colors, while they weren't intended to be fall-ish, do look more fitting for this time of year that the summery quilt just removed.

Long-arm room update: DH and I painted the room in about 2 hours earlier this afternoon. It is white-white-white. Very bright and pure-looking. I hope he will steam-vac the carpet later this evening. Then before and after classes tomorrow, I will try to get the long-arm dismantled, moved from the basement up two flights of stairs, and finally rebuilt in its new home. Eeeeeeee! This will be so exciting!

Happy Quilting, Friends!
