Hello my lovelies. I hope you’ve all had a super fine day. I can’t believe it’s already midway thru the work week. And it’s almost mid-month as well. Time sure does fly.
So I thought I would bring you a little progress on my UFOs. Let’s starting with my knitting …..
I’ve started to add pattern and contrasting colour to the yoke of my pullover. I would have liked to have had it finished it by now but the quiet moments have been few and far between lately. I need peace and quiet in order to count to be sure that I’m casting off and putting the right colour in the right place. Now that the temperature is cooling off I will appreciate this pullover!
My Lucy Boston hexagons are growing nicely. I am busy at present working on the filler hexagons that I will add around the blocks. I’m dying to join a few block together just to see what it will look like. This is a great project to work on while watching mindless TV in the evening.
I love this time of year. The leaves are falling from the colourful trees. And of course, it’s pumpkin season …..
My Sarah has always carved a pumpkin in October. So why should life be any different this year. Things have been ticking over nicely in happy quilt maker land. Christmas is just around the corner and we’re furiously planning out the best Christmas ever. Sarah and I have been making decisions that will affect the rest of our lives. I look back on my early days and realise how important it is to make the right choices at the right time. I wish I had been more discerning with the choices I made when I was young. Someone once said to me … take your life and make it the best story ever. So that’s exactly what I’m working on now.
So for this evening, this very happy and super ambitious quilt maker will be working on hexies. I hope you have a super cosy evening doing something you truly love doing. Until you read me again,
Happy stitching.

Love the pumpkin! The hexies are looking good, and your jumper is progressing well.
Hi Anne, welcome back to reality. I’m sorry the weather’s been so gritty for your arrival.
I have enjoyed my quiet progress. The dark autumn evenings help me to progress nicely. Thanks for popping in today x
That pullover will be a charming addition to your wardrobe and make everyone smile when you wear it. Look forward to seeing that Lucy Boston quilt when finished and wish I had your patience to do EPP. Maybe when I grow up(lol). I’ve quite a few packets of papers from the only quilt magazine I buy these days – Love Patchwork & Quilting, but just don’t seem to have the time or motivation to do it. I’m like you and desperately working on UFO’s along with Joy (another blogger who lives in Oz) to get rid of some of the “stuff” that seems to clutter our lives and homes. What do you do with your pumpkin flesh?. I have a great “easy” Pumpkin Pie recipe! Take care.
Hi Susan, I don’t feel like I’m progressing on my projects very quickly. However, I’ve put a lot of household matters in order. And I’ve had a lot of social engagements. Getting out and about is good for the soul. Thanks for popping in Susan x
Glad to read your blog again. Sounds like you are succeeding with your positive frame of mind. Keep it up girl, you’ll comes through things fine. I’m routing for you both.
I can feel the warmth of that lovely blue sweater! It will look great when it’s finished.
I’ve just finished sewing some pumpkins to string together ready to go on my window just letting the kids know that if they knock they will get a treat! Only thing is making sure you have enough goodies!
Look forward to hearing from you again soon.
With love, Linda
Hi Linda, pumpkin hunting sounds just like the perfect thing for this time of year. I look forward to wearing my new sweater especially now the leaves are blowing horizontally across my front window! !! It doesn’t upset me to see autumn sailing by so quite because it means Christmas will be here soon.
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. Staying positive, looking forward instead of back and letting go seems to be the secret to a successful life. I’m looking forward to all the good positive things life has in store for Sarah and I.
Thanks for popping in today x
Love the hexagons! 😊
Hi Lucie it was lovely to see you the other day. You appeared much happier and chilled. I love the heart quilt and one day maybe you will teach that one to me. The hexie project is so neat and complete contrast to the heart quilt you are very gifted. See you soon x
Thank you Heather. I hope you’re feeling better today x
Lucie, as they say, “Hindsight is 20/20. We’ve all done things that maybe we shouldn’t have. But…You wouldn’t have Sarah if you hadn’t made the decisions you did back then. 🙂
Hindsight is a wonderful thing … Sarah’s the best thing I ever did. Thanks for popping in Eileen x
