Yesterday, we woke up to snow on the roofs, vehicles and grass. It melted by the time hubby and I ventured outside to take photos of my latest quilt. Soon, there will be more snow and it will stay until spring next year. Last night saw me putting a wool blanket on the bed. Temps are starting to dip and the nights are getting cooler.
Autumn in our neck of the woods is mostly over for this year. You can see a lot of bare trees now on the hill and a lot more sky now.
This is a pattern by Sue Daley and I didn't make too many changes to her design. Finished! Such a lovely word! Once this project got started, I kept at it and finished the top in a few months. Remarkable for me to stick to the same project for so long.
