Another quilt done! Life can't get any better than that!
We are in the midst of having beautiful Indian Summer weather. Capris and sandals are back. We need to enjoy it while we can, because this weather is not going to hang around for long.
It was cold closing the cottage for the year. Jackets, sweaters, toques and then warm gorgeous weather. What a drastic change in just two days. Cold and now warm and muggy.
Beavers have been busy building a dam on our cottage road. The water is backing up at this bridge. The white stuff you see in the water is foam of some kind.
This week, my friend Darlene and I will be giving a dual trunk show and workshop on EPP at the Grand Quilt Guild in Fergus, Ontario. We are so excited and have so many quilts to show and talk about. There will be lots more to share about this event.
Have a great day!

This is a great finish! I have some that old too! Your colors are beautiful and I especially like the center strip being light next to two dark strips on either side. Very beautiful with the appliqué border. You did good on this one! Always enjoy seeing your quilts!
I like your finish better than the one in the book. I put this on my to do list.

First thing I looked for was the wee black bearLOL Glad he has not come back or Mumma bear with her two cubs? Beautiful beautiful maple colours lots of quilt designs in those colours are racing through my head? Your river looks so peaceful but boy those beavers cause havoc don't they if their dams break. Looking forward to seeing your quilts you are going to show and tell about, hope you can get lots of photos taken for you so you can share them here also?????? Cheers Glenda
PS LOL Forgot to say how much I love your quilt you showed, stunning colours I could live for ever with that quilt.
What a difference the lighting has on your quilt. It is gorgeous!! I love the appliqued border, it frames it so nicely. The fall colours and the scenery pictures are beautiful too. Thanks for sharing.
What beautiful quilts you have made. I went back through your posts to read about them. We have fox here that I worry about encountering when walking the dogs. But I haven't seen a bear -yet! Bear horns are a good idea; I wonder would they work with fox. Happy Stitching!
