Welcome October!

Ahh! I simply cannot believe we are already welcoming October! 

It's a big birthday month in our family - my mom, my husband, my granddaughter, my twin nieces, and more. With all that celebrating, the month will go fast.

So what might I accomplish this month? 

First, I need to get the long arm going. Again, I am having trouble. The top thread breaks after just a few stitches. Last time this happened, I changed the needle and that made all the difference; this time it is not making things better. I have a baby quilt halfway finished, and I would really like to get it done and put some more quilts in.

Also, I have borrowed a pattern from a friend, and I would like to make a couple of these bears for the 2 grand babies. In addition to making a fun 'stuffie' for each of them, I would also be able to use up a couple of bags of polyfil that I've had around here taking up space for about a decade.

 

I have checked my 2024 goals list and see that I still have not worked on several things. Maybe it is actually time to do something with my Winnemucca fabrics? It's been on the list for more than just '24! I also would be happy to work on All The Blues or Cheddar and Navy. Of course, I have a few UFOs to remember, also, most especially Lake Effect.

 

This Saturday is History Day in Greenfield. Once again I will be demonstrating hand quilting. I have a quilt loaded on the frame from last History Day (shame on me!) and I will work on it. Perhaps it will give me incentive to keep going and actually finish it!

Of course, I will drop everything in a heartbeat and head to Columbus to see the granddaughters! We have 2 now to love on, and the girls don't live just steps away from each other any more. Emma is out in Westerville while Erin is still downtown. We will adjust! Where grand babies are concerned, we will make it happen!

I hope your October is blessed and productive.

Happy Quilting, Friends!
