In the Hive

My clematis decided to bloom one last time. It has been unusually warm here in Kutztown lately and it's hard to believe it's the end of October!

My teenager passed his learner's permit test yesterday so I had a busy day. I managed to sew this one block and then went with friends to see the movie "Death at a Funeral." The movie was offbeat and funny!

I finished piecing this cute wallhanging this morning. Now I just have to quilt it!

I had a huge cosmos explosion in my garden this year. Sadly, we had to start preparing the beds for winter. Luckily, I found some cosmos fabric so I can make a quilt!

Michael, the bee tamer! This little guy was getting awful cold in the garden today!

This block was a little tough with all the triangles and odd shapes to cut, but came out really striking.

I started this project during a quilt retreat I went on in May. My sewing machine had broken during the retreat and when I took it home to get my other one, I stopped at the fabric store. I picked up some Loralie fabric with cartoony sewing machines and notions on it. I ended up making a twin size quilt to take with me use during my quilt retreats. My friend just finished quilting it on her longarm with a really neat sewing notion pattern!
