After all the appliqué I did on my Farmhouse quilt it didn’t seem too terrible to do a bit more on this block. Most of my remaining Splendid Sampler blocks are theme-related (e.g. Easter, Christmas, etc.) so it was nice to be able to use one of them.

I was out at the grocery store first thing this morning. I was tempted to try Freshco rather than my usual Quality Foods but at the last minute I decided to go where I was most comfortable. Pat shops at Freshco and feels their prices are the best. I’ve only shopped there once and, mainly because I didn’t know the aisles, I didn’t feel I was in and out as quickly as I wanted to be.
I got the floors washed and a bit more vacuuming done. I moved a few more books from the shelves upstairs to the shelves downstairs. We are quickly running out of space on the shelves downstairs so I’d better get at that reading.
I’ve had a nice day in my sewing studio. I did some tidying up first thing and then started on some of the daily blocks. You’d never know by the look of things right now that I had ever done any cleaning or tidying up, but that seems to be the way things always go.

Although I’ve had Fall birthdays before that I could have used this pattern for I have always been put off by the appliqué. I’m afraid to say it but I’ve actually enjoyed my recent appliqué projects.
It’s a bit too early for a Thanksgiving or Hallowe’en pumpkin but I suspect there are many pumpkins in the somebody’s patch that are ripening.

I’ve had a busy day and I still hope to accomplish a bit more before I stop.
Before a chat this morning with Stacia and Deloise I did some tidying and vacuuming downstairs. I had a few things in the closet that had been pulled from the bedroom and bathroom when we had the flood and I’m slowing getting them put back in place or finding a new place to store them. I need to scrub the kitchen and hallway floor but that might have to wait until tomorrow.
I have the next clue of my Hex-Along ready to hand stitch. It is nice to have something to work on either in the evening or in the morning when I have my coffee. I still have last week’s clue to add to the “mother ship” but I’ll wait until this clue is done and add them at the same time. The project is getting quite large and it is difficult to add on to it.
I also have nine more masks cut out and ready to sew. I’m using a Hallowe’en theme for these ones.
And finally, this afternoon, I stitched the binding onto my latest (well, the latest one I’ve been working on) project. More hand sewing for tonight (and maybe a little Modern Family to go with it),
