A Ta-Da Moment

Gee, before I get to the Ta-Da Moment..I need to comment on the Big Game last Thursday night at BB&T Stadium.

First of all congratulations to the

Wake Forest Demon Deacons

for beating the

Clemson Tigers.

It seems this lost for the Tigers was a gain for the Head Coach!

(Or so it seems.)

He was fired! But he was fired at the tune of about 3.5 Million Dollars. What is wrong with this picture?

Now for the Ta-Da moment.

I have completed the $5 Quilt from the LQS.

It needs to be quilted...,but the piecing is complete.

One more UFO has "Bit the Dust".

Onto the next one....

Which one is next?

Maybe one of the signature quilt for one of the newlyweds.

Almost finished!

I am on a mission to complete the LQS $5 Quilt before the next meeting.

Block # 12 will not be given out until the next (& 12th) meeting. At that time Holly wants samples of how a few of us that work in the shop are finishing our quilt.

I have chosen to place the same border around each block. Holly is doing applique around each of her traditional blocks.

It wasn't hard deciding to do the same border! but I am having trouble choosing the placement of each block!?!?!

Do I choose

# 1,

or # 2,
or # 3? I'm leaning toward number.....?
M-m-m-m
I guess you will have to wait and see!

What a great fall weekend

Look who came to visit Saturday night.

Bama.

His cousin, Bentley, was not to happy having to share his stool and backyard with him.

As you can tell he didn't want to have anything to do with "Gram" and her camera.

Sunday afternoon found DD, a close friend and I at the Winston Salem Fair. The weather was perfect.

Sunny and warm.

The exhibits were great. A few of the gals who come into the local quilt shop, won ribbons. Congratulations to all the winners.

These pumpkins were unbelievable. The one on the back row and in the corner, weighed in at 612 pounds.

Of course we did our fair share of sampling the food. m-m-m-m-m

Roasted corn, apple dumplings, steak sandwiches, pork tenderloin, the list goes on and on.......

The 4th in a Series of 5

This past Sunday afternoon my SIL became

"Pastor Anna".

After her Ordination, I presented her with the 4th of a series of 5 that I am making for her.

The next one will be her Advent stole.

It will be made in shades & tints of blue.

You know Christmas will be here before you know it!

Only 84 days, but who is counting?

A Time to Rest......

Yes, it is time to sit back rest & relax. The wedding is behind us, and the newly weds are on their honeymoon.

Mr & Mrs Adam B. Riggs

Just a few pictures of the wedding activities.

The happy couple with friends at the Rehearsal party.

(The milk bottles used as the center pieces are from my Uncle Thomas and Aunt Mary Carmen dairy farm.)

Adam & Marideth attended college rivals.

Adam - WCU & Marideth - App state.

(They will play the Battle of the Old Mountain Jug each fall as their schools play the final football game of the the season.)

It is time to really begin to close and

REST!

Time is quickly running out....

This time next week, my sons wedding will be a thing of the past. I and the mother of the bride have spend the better part of last evening working on the sitting chart for the reception. It is a job not for the faint of heart. We did as of this morning realize two more tables are a must in order to get everyone in their right places. Keeping the bride & the groom happy are at this time,

is getting hard to do.

I have finally caught up with the block of the month for the past two months. And it's a good thing number 11 is given out tomorrow. Of course this is a picture of the shops #10 block.

Hope this time next week I'll be back on track

for "Me" time to sew.

I'm off to fine fabric for the 2 extra tables cloths we need.

Have a good week.
