I am happy to report that we had a thunder storm Thursday night and it rained all night and most of Friday! It was such a relief. The air is now clean and clear! Even though we weren't in danger from the fires, it was wonderful to get the much needed rain. I think there is still some fire fighting in parts of the state, though.
I forgot to post this spider web quilt after I finished it, so here it is. This was a quilt-a-long that Lori of Humble Quilts organized. I do love this design and might want to make another one. Guess what? I still have a lot of scraps left! LOL!!
I received these 2 mum plants from DS#3/DIL! It was a surprise! The first 2 pictures are of the same plant.
Here is the raffle quilt that my guild (Gone to Pieces Quilt Guild) made and will draw a winner for in December. It measures 95" x 95". I had no part in the making of it. If anyone is interested in purchasing tickets, you can email me and I will give you my address for you to send the money. The tickets are $1.00 per ticket or $5.00 for 6 tickets. I'll keep track of any people who buy tickets and will either send you your part of the ticket or keep it with me. I will then buy your ticket and put the stub in with the rest of them. If you are the lucky winner, I will let you know.
Proceeds of the Quilt Raffle support the Quilt Guild and our Charity Projects.
Happy Fall, everyone!
Wonderful finish Ruth! I hope to begin hand quilting my spiderweb quilt in a few weeks, as soon as the one in the hoop is finished. We're having a second wave of smoke from western wildfires, skies are a light brownish cast even though the sun is out. Hopefully will be blown all the way to the Atlantic by tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting on your spiderweb quilt is beautiful! I love what you did in the neutral spaces. And the guild quilt is also gorgeous, but you know I love purple and this would appeal to me! I've never seen pink mums - those are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour spider-web quilt is really pretty, and again, your quilting is just super! Your flowers are really pretty! Someone will really love that guild quilt; there's lots of little pieces in that one! I'm so glad to know your home escaped the fires, and that you got rain to settle the smoke and soot! I was worried sick about you, as you know! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteA great finish on your spider web quilt!! Nice feathering in the brown areas.
ReplyDeleteThose are really pretty mums. What a nice surprise!
Oh, that is a lovely raffle quilt. I will try to remember to get $5 in the mail to you the next time I am in town. I think I have your address on file. I'll email you for it if I am wrong. :)
As always, the quilting on your quilts is superb. All those feathers. I wish I could come over for some lessons! Glad you had some rain to clear the air. The raffle quilt is a stunner.
ReplyDeleteFires are still burning, but thankfully not raging!
ReplyDeleteLove the spider string quilt!! The raffle quilt is very lovely. I hope it raises a lot of money.
Enjoyed seeing your quilts Ruth. We have been in drought, and have had winter rains at last
