Autumn

                           You know it's Fall when the spiders start building a lot of webs!!
 

And then the apples ripen

So I can make lots of apple pies.

Crystal Blue

 The name of this quilt is Crystal Blue. I finished it in August after having pieced it several years ago mainly because I began quilting it with a long arm but the back got all tangled and I had to take out all the stitches. Finally quilted it with my regular machine. The quilting is free motion feathers.

Baltimore Memories

 This quilt top was finished 6 years ago but it took me until now to decide how to quilt it and actually sew.

When I lived near Baltimore, in Columbia, Maryland, I wanted to do a Baltimore album quilt but never found a pattern that I liked. After I moved to Oregon, I decided that I wanted to make it with birds and flowers that reminded me of my time in Columbia. i found a few patterns in books and others I designed myself.

Narure's bounty

Blackberries in season. So I made blackberry brandy.

Pears almost rip, too.

 

Quail

 Foggy morning and the resident quail came for a visit.

July

This is a flimsy (quilt top) that I just finished. It was a June challenge from Pamelaquilts.com that gave us one block a day to make. Pamela is a member of the local quilt guild, an Island Batik Ambassador, and creates patterns.

Crocosmia lucifer, a beautiful flower in our                                                                               yard.

Ring of Time

I finally did it! This is the book that I have been writing for....years. It is a fantasy about a young girl who is the apprentice to a wizard. When the wizard disappears, she is left to finish her training alone and also do a quest. This is about that quest. She meets several people (and others) along the way.

If you want to read the book it is available on Amazon Kindle (there are several books with this title, so type in my name if you cannot find it). It is available in paperback, also from Amazon.
