Finding lost quilty stuff...

One of the issues I have to deal with as I proceed with this re-org is what to do with all the stuff - some of it hasn't been seen in so long I forgot long ago why I had it - but some turns out to be things I have been looking for - those "I know I already have a spool of blue thread here SOMEWHERE!!!" kinds of things. 
Today I found the fabric I bought for the seats of the dining room chairs - I didn't have enough to do all four chairs - my math isn't my strongest talent, and I had bought half what I needed the first time - so I went back and bought the second half - but that second half disappeared as it came in the front door, so those seat cushions have been waiting patiently on the work table for that home dec fabric to turn up and (drum roll, please) I can now finish those seat cushions!
I'll have to figure out how to post pics when I get them done - because that will call for a major photo event in the dining room!

AUTUMN has Arrived with a Howl

The upstairs studio has a window a/c unit that howls and whistles when the winter winds blow - so this week's major goal will be to get that a/c OUT of the window and into storage for the winter.
We are having gusty winds up to 40+ mph today, and it sounds as though the upstairs is being haunted by banshees!

I've been working on the exchange blocks for Pat Sloan's Turkey Tracks exchange - these aren't due yet, but it feels so good to have them done!

The fabrics for the NEXT Pat Sloan challenge - the Gobble Gobble fabrics - have arrived in today's mail, and I can hardly wait to dig into this glorious bundle! These fabrics are by Sandy Gervais, who does yummy fall colors with a folk art attitude. First, a pumpkin, then some X blocks, then maybe a couple of trees. a crow?...... where will this take me?
