Spiders, Fog and sunrise.

Saturday early I noticed the foggy mist

hanging on the spider webs.

A sure sign of the coming fall.

They were magical.

I just had to share.

   

Relax and have a peaceful Sunday.

A day of rest.

My first quilt

This was my first attempt at quilting. My grand daughter Liz asked for a quilt for her wedding gift. She picked out the colors and  wanted a large square motif. I thought simple just make 12 inch square and sew them together. Well is wasn't simple but it was fun.  Three weeks later it was done. I learned a lot making that quilt. First of all not to be so ambitious but she is very happy with it. It suits her artistic nature. She is studying art education in Fort Wayne.

Finding treasures cleaning the sewing closet

 I took time out from cleaning the closet today  to make a Christmas card for Virginia A. Spiegel. Yesterday she posted on her blog  her new Folio 2 Black Trees art and I loved the new series so I  decided to treat myself for Christmas. Check out her blog. www.VirginiaSpiegel.com

I found some treasures while cleaning the closet. I bought this old sampler over 15 years ago. Amazing what you find.  I am going to set it out with the Christmas decor. Perfect to go with the winter season. Sunday morning 10 deer were wandering around the backyard munching the grass. One Sunday last year we counted 32 deer crossing the back yard. Some reason they move though on Sunday. Think they are on their way to church?

Than I found some old sheet music from 1908 that will be perfect for a collage.  I should have cleaned the closet a few years ago. It was so bad I couldn't walk in it. My grandson helped me and made me eliminate and share I have 3 big black bags to donate so far. We will continue in the morning with the closet detail. I promised him tacos for lunch if he brought a pound of hamburger.
