September Goals

The scent of Fall is in the air.  Our trees are starting to show color, some even losing a few leaves.  This is my favorite season - colors, smells, fruit of the season, cooler temps.  A lot to inspire the month's stitching.

 

My official NewFO will again be my project for the Doll Quilt Swap Group.  This will be my last swap for the year - sitting out for a bit as there are other committments that will fill my plate.

My projects for Something Old, Something New will be non-stitching.  I have been terrible with re-loading my EQ on the new computer - which isn't so new any more.  So my Something Old will be to commit to loading up that disc and using it. I do hope this old dog can learn  some new tricks!

My Something New will be to add a new tab to my blog.  In participating in the Tuesday Archives I have noticed there are a lot of tutorials over the years.  So I will be using the month to get those into a list/tab.  

  

I pulled out a lot of books thru August, looking for the right project for September's Let's Book It.  I had four I really liked/loved, but went with something for the season.

I just love Jim Shore's figurines, and have bought a few over the years for my Mom - really should pick up some for myself.  A lot of these projects are LARGE, but I want to stay with a simple project so I am making some adjustments.

Boy it is hard to photo a glossing page!  I love this runner, but it is 62" long and I really don't have anywhere for such.  So I am making this into a wallhanging.  Pumpkins and HSTs - orange is a color I have trouble working with, so a challenge.  Not sure I will use purple, but we will see what inspires.

                           

RSC14's color for the month is orange - will help with pulling fabrics for those pumpkins.  And can't wait to see what the next block is for the Quilt Doodle  project.  This one is getting close to a finish.

I have a small project picked out for the Make it Handmade Christmas Challenge.  A small project, but I plan on making a few.  Some QALs in progress with Marcus Brothers and the Country Corners - and a new one Charming Stars which will be done as a leader/ender project.  Not sure I will be doing some of the others (new buttons on the side bar).

My projects are ready and waiting for my day - Sept 15th.

We will be participating in the Airing of the Quilts in Schoharie and you can read about it HERE and HERE.

Just a few projects and events that will keep me close to home because - waiting for that new GrandBabe!!

CLOSING THOUGHT

Departing summer hath assumed
An aspect tenderly illumed,
The gentlest look of spring;
That calls from yonder leafy shade
Unfaded, yet prepared to fade,
A timely carolling. -  William Wordsworth, September

Sewingly Yours,
