Where has October gone?

October has all but disappeared in a whirlwind of busy!  And then the cold gremlins got me and I have been keeping the tissue companies in business with all sorts of nose blowing.  Oh those little germy children that fill up my day job!  Anyway, with all of that happening I did start a new quilt.  This one has been a whole pile of fun.  First it was the fabric shopping in my stash for all the different colours and then the chopping it all up.  There are no templates or actual must dos so the quilt top came together in a very organic manner.  This is from Kaffe Fasset's Glorious Patchwork.  It is a big one and all the strips are put together now into one glorious mess of colour.  Stay tuned.  Quilting is planned for this weekend.

On a Sunday...

So nursey student daughter arrived safely last evening with 2 friends in tow.  Her flat tire incident in the Fraser Canyon, turned into a near death experience in her mind anyway.  Only daughter could be so dramatic.  She whammed into several large boulders that had fallen off the cliffs in the canyon.  Her car limped home with the little Mickey Mouse spare tire.   Two new tires later, as tires are purchased in pairs,  all is well.

In between a trip to the mall with daughter and friend, I did work away on the current work in progress.  I was in HST chaos as you can see from this photo.

And this is how they are coming together.  I like it!

Finally, there is a new recipe at the Moda Bakeshop and a give away at the the baker's blog, Lily's Quilts!  Check it out!  The quilt is Hexagon Park, and the give away is a Sherbet Pips layer cake.  Life cannot get better!
