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.
