and the stitching goes on

 I am getting ready to do the next class at the college,Christmas Stockings I have enjoyed making these for a number of years and have even started to make them for gifts. 
I have been working on samples for the next classes and the  samples are now in to the college for the 2 wall hanging classes for Christmas one appliqued and the other pieced.

This week I got a little play time in and finished up another quilt for Victoria Quilts Canada. Nice color combo I am sure someone will really enjoy the warmth of this quilt.
all quilted and ready to go
I tried finishing the binding by machine, it stitched up nicely.
Well we are still having nice fall weather with cool mornings and sunny afternoons. I will take them as long as I can. I know that a change is coming and we will handle it just fine , I just enjoy the fall with it's sounds colors and smells. Each season has it's special touches sew let's enjoy them all.

And on another note, this week we finished up the Free Motion Quilting class for beginners. I had 8 ladies learning and and quilting up their sample sandwiches. I know with some practice time it will be smooth sailing for them all. I remember when I first started to do fmq that I thought ," no way will I ever do this to a quilt", but now I do it more that hand quilting. I do love the look of hand quilting but find I need a long time to get it done and my hands get stiff so fmq is what I can do and get my quilts done :0)
In a couple weeks we will be working on Christmas Stockings. Right now that sounds early but when I look at the calendar I see that really it is not, just over 2 months until Christmas. Wow where did the year go??
Thanks for stopping by ...... now go and check out the hop
