Time to work on another dress with 5/8" ---

That is just one of the 12 leaves I have to make for the swap, 47 pieces and 10 seams.
Minnesota is absolutely beautiful in the fall. This is the first time seeing our maple in all her glory at the lake. We ran out there to double check on a few things and so glad the tree had already turned.

Klaws, those were great blocks, especially mine.
Kass, thank you for being so understanding. I hate making foolish mistakes like that. My plan is to make a second one in the correct size, I can’t bear to take apart something without mistakes.

I made one for Libster today

I did did not manage any others this week. I started a job this week after health problems have kept me home a long time. I’ll only be working part time, but the training was a full week.
I did find time to make a quick trip to the quilt store ( I purposely arrived just 15 minutes before closing, hoping to keep purchasing to a minimum. They were just shelving a whole shipment of beautiful new fabrics ��). You may have noticed I use a lot of batiks, I didn’t even have any plain white before this swap. I only had one request I absolutely had no match for, but I found something I had been waiting to come on sale while I was there.
