Today is 5 years since Madaline was born. They orange lilies have bloomed their bright vibrant color and summer has come to pass. Another year has gone. And so today I celebrate with a special stocking at my HC. Below is my little blurb about it. Later today I will go and visit the cemetery to see her. Really she has a beautiful spot. Happy Angelversary Madaline!

With fall arriving and all the halloween decorations everywhere I felt it was time to preview this.  It’s obviously not done, but it’s coming along.  I have been collecting halloween fabrics for some time now.  See DS decided he must have a halloween quilt.  So I have gotten several fabrics since Janunary.  I must admit here that I probally certainly have too many.  I came up with the quilt pattern myself.  I wanted something that would piece together quickly and show off the halloween-ness of it.  The only thing I should have done was make the construction seams easier.  See I was going for random, which is great, but I don’t have any major seams.  So I am now forced to set in ALOT of the pieces.  I don’t mind, that’s not hard, but it takes more time.  Guess I should also mention that the huge squares (red & yellow in the pic above) are for applique.

Another BOM photo. Sorry about the wrinkles. I didn’t press it when I got it out of the container for this photo.

Here’s one of my 2006 Block of the Month squares.  I take this class out at Bernina.   I really enjoy getting out the house to go and do my own thing.  It’s a great little break from the little ones.  I think every mom should have some time for herself.  When I was picking out the colors for this years quilt, I really had no idea what I wanted.  I had just given birth to my youngest and was still on painkillers.  But off I went to the store.  This is very abnormal for me.  I almost always know what I am going to do next.  I already know what I’m doing next year.

Here it is up close and personal.  I think for not having any ideas, pre-buying anyway, this is going well.

I ordered some fabric for DS’ halloween quilt. I had bought some fabric from HancockFabrics.com and also JoAnn.com. It was in the discount area of their website. Yeah! I got most of it for over 60% off. I had bought some fabric at the local stores, but there wasn’t any halloween fabrics.

Cannot find image

Here’s the close up. One of them is really a sparkly fabric (the purple one).

That’s all I have for now.
