Just look at that harbor! It was foggier earlier but I didn't get my camera out until after I fed the kitties. Of course! We've had high winds some days along with lightning and thunder; maybe you saw some of our weather if you watched the Seahawks game last Sunday. Fall has landed in the Pacific Northwest...and right on time!
Our little town had a quilt festival where the organizers and volunteers hung quilts up and down our Main Street - about 3 blocks long.
Just a few that were hung. On September 18th, the Great Wheel in Seattle lit up in the color teal to call attention to Ovarian cancer and my dd and I went over to see it.
This picture was taken from the ferry on the way over to 'the big city'. It was very beautiful.
Then there was a street fair on the island and the weather was gorgeous. We visited vendors, sat in the wine/beer garden and listened to the bands play while people danced.
We enjoyed! And L's hair is growing out nicely. Now if only she could get her energy back! I will have to get used to being grateful for the good things in life. She looks great now that she's 6 weeks out of chemo.
Then there was my gson's birthday party during which we ate lemon meringue pie.
He turned 14; I remember seeing the picture of this guy in utero so hard to believe how quickly the years go by. So, we also harvested more vegetables from my dd's garden. Lots of tomatoes!
I've done some sewing but really very little....still need to complete one more row to make this lap quilt 5 (45") across and 6 (56") down. I'm going to add some sashing around the sides also to make it more inches longer and wider. It'll be nice for my dd to keep her toes warm this winter.
One thing I'm trying to figure out is why I can't turn out a quilt a week like some people are able to. Could it be due to this guy?
I'm the slowest quilter in the world, I think! Ah well...to each his own!
Peace!
