Topic: I'm home

This is all of us out for dinner. We only ate out once. The house we were at was huge and had a nice kitchen so we took turns cooking.

This is the quilt I worked on most of the time. I got it cut, sewn and all put together in 3 days. I really worked on it. But it is lovely. Now to get it quilted.

This was our Halloween party last night. We did trick or treat with quilt related items.

Thanks for all your good wishes above. I had fun!!

Oops, forgot to ask. I'm assuming you all pack your sewing machines & fabric with you? Did you guys indulge in some good trading?................Liz

Yes we pack everything to take with us. I of course packed enough for 2 weeks of sewing! And we went to 4 different quilt shops, some more then once!! And we shared our goodies too. eom CG

CG, you got away for 3 days and worked most of the time on a quilt?  You need some serious talking to, babe. LOL

The quilt is a beauty, tho.

Welcome back!

I like the autumn colors in the quilt...with a little punch of blue.  It certainly "pops".

Have you and T ever been to SF or think of coming here?

I thought the blues really helped make it interesting. Thanks. We spent one morning in SF many yrs ago with the kids. Would love to come visit you! eom CG

Sounds like you had a good time.  That is a beautiful quilt you're working on.  I like the T or T idea of using quilting-related items. I'd come to T or T at your house! LOL. :) It looked like you had some quilted squares on the end of the table? Did you give them out as treats?

They were fat quarters--1/4 yd of fabric. Thanks. eom CG
