The Pie in the Sky quilt top is finished. This top was started at the annual October 2102 retreat. A wonderful quilting weekend filled with lots of friends, sewing and good food, something I look forward to every year! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started this quilt at the retreat starting with cutting, a lot of cutting,organizing and a little sewing. Then my master's pursuit got in the way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started to put some blocks together a couple of weeks ago and was able to finish it today just before I go back to work! One of my goals during this winter break was to finish this top, and that is exactly what I did! With out further ado here is my most recent flimsy..</div>

So over the past two years I'm been completing my Master degree in education. I'm finally done and graduated on December 20, 2013!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i> </i>It's a scrappy quilt that involves a lot of sorting. The trouble is that every time I sit down to work on it I have to resort stuff again! Unfortunately the first time I put this project away I was very careless about how i stored it. Because I've been preoccupied with other things, my sewing room became a bit of a dumping ground which is pretty discouraging when you want to sew. Especially when you have to move a gazillion things to get to the sewing machine! It's getting better I've shifted things around a bit and now I'm ready to sew!</span></div>

My contribution to a swap. My partner hasn't posted it yet, but I'm sure she's received it so I don't think I'm ruining any surprises. What was good about this swap is that you could make anything you wanted, the bad thing was that my partner, Abby, didn't want any blues or greens. I found that this was a real challenge for me. I guess I use a lot of blues and greens in my quilts.<br />
The first thing I made was this cute little mini pin wheel quilt. Yup, that's a spot of turquoise,after I finished I decided that technically it is in the blue family so on to my next choice.<br />

So I guess I failed my challenge.<br />
I sure hope Abby can live with them. I threw in a quilt pattern,and sent them off to live in Indiana.<br />
I haven't participated in a swap for a while I've had mixed results, the last one I was in I didn't get anything.The very first one I was ever in well, let's just say left a lot to be desired...<br />
I was part of the Dozen Quilter's blog for two years and was pleased with all the blocks I got from the first year, it took a while to get some of the blocks but eventually I did . <br />
You know I really should put those blocks together. They're on my list..really!<br />
<br />
The second year we each picked a charity, mine was comfort pillows for breast cancer patients and the girls made some beautiful pillows. <br />
<br />This really has nothing to do with quilts, just thought I'd share.<br />

Accompanying the quilt were these three delightful gifties. The frog comes from <a href="http://www.denby.co.uk/visitor-centre/heritage-ware+books/pcat/shop_online/">Derby Pottery</a><br />
which is located near the village where Susie lives. I love the sign that mentions the voices. This is one of my favorite sayings about the "voices inside my head" that tell me to do things. Shopping, especially fabric shopping is one of those favorites things. Thank you Susie, I love everything, I agree that blogging makes it possible to make connections that we normally wouldn't be able to make.I hope we will be "friends" for a long time to come.<br />
Happy Sewing. <br />

Val, of owner a LQS, <a href="http://www.quiltsandtreasuresinc.com/">Quilt and Treasures</a> made this quilt to encourage younger sewers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think? </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When we were setting up I saw this quilt from across the room. It really caught my eye and I just had to stop what I was doing and walk over to check it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Val got the teacher shirts from Hot Topic and has a Bella and Edward quilt planned. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would this attract young people to sew?</div>

Thimblerries quilt for my friend. My sister quilted it on her longarm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know this is the time of year for reflecting and making resolutions. I rarely make them because over the years I've had trouble keeping them. I do some goals however, finishing up the masters program I started, reading more, staying above the fray at work, finishing up some wips. Hmm... how will I do? I'll keep you posted. </div>

A colleague at work is having her baby, next week. So of course I wanted to make a quilt. She doesn't really have a theme for her nursery, but the walls are painted beige. So I went digging in my stash, found a neat little pattern and some batiks. We had a shower for her last Tuesday, of course I didn't get the it done on time but managed to finish it that night all except the label, which sewed on during my prep. period on Wednesday. </div>

<a href="http://www.sewiquiltnow.com/">Madame Samm</a> had a Ghastlie blog hop and I was the lucky winner of this Ghastlie apron.<br />
Nan Slaughter of Pots &Pins made this wonderful Ghastlie apron. Not only is Nan a very talented seamstress and wonderful cook, she writes books too! Be still my heart she included one of her very own Halloween books, along with a spool of Presencia thread!<br />
Would it wrong if I prance around the house wearing my fancy schamancy apron after work tomorrow?<br />

Kathy Gaul was the teacher. She is a wonderful designer whose company <a href="http://www.meetinghousehilldesigns.com/">Meeting House Hill Designs</a>. is based in Colorado. Kathy grew up in Leominster Mass. and comes home every October to visit family, lecture,and teach classes. We were lucky enough to spend a Saturday learning the basic of assembling this cute wall hanging. I haven't work too much in wool so I'm quite pleased how this has turned out. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

On Saturday, October 29, we were hit with a Nor'easter and we lost power about six o'clock. Out side you could hear the trees popping, cracking, and crashing to the ground! We had an unusually <strike>warm</strike> hot fall this year so the trees have held on to their leaves. Leaves on trees and wet heavy snow results in very dangerous conditions. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Mark and I went to bed and suddenly we heard a extremely loud crash! Got up and looked out our window and saw that part of a maple tree had fallen. Both Mark and James went outside to survey the damage, they kept saying "You got to come see this!" Nope, not me, it was too scary out there! I woke up the next morning at 5:30 to take the dogs out. It was eerily quiet, no sound, not even birds chirping.<br />

Now maybe I'll tackle a Celtic designed quilt! </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRpJBvpI8UFiZ8pAfNdhYrjzRxSidMJb1Ro-u3o70MW55CsH68U6XaQAIlOMJAaNRcI94-gUc0ObJ-iI44dkRzpgb2sFJmGSOElEH1ryWC1Q1xIQWB1ade2yBZQ4Du_jIfCtA3RXMRvkQ/s1600/DSC_0198_edited-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRpJBvpI8UFiZ8pAfNdhYrjzRxSidMJb1Ro-u3o70MW55CsH68U6XaQAIlOMJAaNRcI94-gUc0ObJ-iI44dkRzpgb2sFJmGSOElEH1ryWC1Q1xIQWB1ade2yBZQ4Du_jIfCtA3RXMRvkQ/s400/DSC_0198_edited-1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's Leslie in front of one of her quilts.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihZzVd9eyodFXXdoJkLz6mzVeBrssRjxUEDNwj1i7M9Xu-Uhyphenhyphengtyc7GeKSQmi3EzjRNC1O1S9oqK1nTC-2W-Mdx84TRthx2WFqRod35yz1iKYx__hi7jOIXZmFQVbf7Sbf3TQ2njSUC0Y/s1600/DSC_0193.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihZzVd9eyodFXXdoJkLz6mzVeBrssRjxUEDNwj1i7M9Xu-Uhyphenhyphengtyc7GeKSQmi3EzjRNC1O1S9oqK1nTC-2W-Mdx84TRthx2WFqRod35yz1iKYx__hi7jOIXZmFQVbf7Sbf3TQ2njSUC0Y/s400/DSC_0193.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Another quilt she made designed from an antique quilt.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> Pat wrote the wonderful book on the left <b><i>Spot Light on Neutrals</i></b>. It's a wonderful book filled with beautiful quilts and inspiring ideas. It's all about working with neutrals, and being brave enough to make a quilt using all neutrals. </div><br />
