October 1 where did you come from



Can we hang on to September just a little longer......
How dose time fly sew fast. As a kid it took forever for our birthdays, Christmas , summer holidays etc. to come and now that we have grown up some they have taken on wings .
Is it that we fill our days to full and can  not get everything done that we thought we should. I guess we will never really know , we just have to deal with it.
But now that October is here there are many things we can plan for. Fall suppers(fowl suppers) in many small communities, Thanksgiving and time spent with our families and of course Halloween. Have you noticed they all have food mixed in with them in one form or another.
One thing is for sure that with the cooler temps of fall we tend to get a littler busier with out quilting as it reminds up that Christmas is only a few months away. You gals that do the Xmas every month group are sew smart. I will have to try that next year.
 Well I am off to the sewing machine my dead line is getting close ... less that a week to get - r - done
in stitches until next time
Hugs

new font

Hello out there. It was suggested that maybe I try a different font to make it easy on the eyes.
And that makes perfect sense the one I had tried at first was a fun looking,.
When I look back at it, it just might be a little hard to read. Sew thank you for letting me know.
I do want everyone who comes to visit to have a good time and be able to understand what I am talking about.( I am pretty easy to get along with )
Lets see how this one works for now.
Sew until next time stay in stitches and seams  ( I have tried a different font  really I have tried but I am not sure if it is going to take ..... but I have tried a few times and by George I think I have got it)
