I've had a very productive week! This donation quilt had a deadline--it had to be done by today so it could be delivered to the auxiliary at the nursing home where my MIL lived for 4.5 years before she passed away earlier this month. They are assembling their baskets for the fundraiser raffle this week so they can start selling tickets. I hope that whoever wins the quilt that I made uses it and enjoys it. I had to buy the border and backing fabrics. It was quilted with my walking foot on my DSM. The binding is the same fabric as the outer border.
My second finish of the week was my farm cross stitch on perforated paper. I got all of the beading done and added the sunflower button. I will buy a frame shortly and get this out on display. The perforated paper was easy to stitch on...the beads were a bit fiddly but I like the way they look on the finished project.
My improv round robin quilt got some attention this week too. I finished quilting the pieced border and started quilting the blue border. I am using a sashiko needle and pearl cotton in the blue border. The stitches are larger -- the sashiko class I took last week inspired me. This project is moving closer to the finish line.
We have been having beautiful Fall weather and I've been enjoying lots of walks outside with friends and family. Yes---another squirrel photo!

A family walk in the woods
This is one of my SIL and BIL's dogs...he also loves a walk in the woods.
Lots of mushrooms in the woods too.
My daughter had to get up really early one morning this week for a breakfast meeting at work. Finn was not a fan of getting up so early and made the most of having the bed to himself.
I volunteer at our local hospice once a week. The views out the window were gorgeous this week.
I will link up with Kathy for Slow Sunday Stitching and with Frederique as well. I will be working on my fall cross stitch this weekend. Happy Halloween!
