Just where has the summer gone?

It just seems like yesterday it was warming up.  We have been busy here with canning and just the odd jobs that come with summertime. I did enter some of the Raspberry Jam and a quilt I designed into the Meigs County Fair.  I got a second place red ribbon on the Jam. Hey look I got first place blue ribbon on the quilt. Some pictures below of what I've been up to. 

Now Fall is here....I love Fall and can't wait till leaves start falling and cooler temps come along.  It just seems that when Fall gets here so does the overtime at work just when I need to get things done. 

My next things to get going on in my free time is quilted Christmas gifts and decorations for the home. We have old milk cans to paint as well as finish the porch.  Yes, I'll post a picture of the cans when they are done....care to guess the theme?  I'm from TN you know....GO VOLS!!

So till the next time...Have fun working on projects whether it be painting or quilting! 

This is my Blackberries for cobblers and Blackberry Jelly

Summer sewing with the girls...

Well a lot has gone on this summer between the canning and endless normal stuff I FINALLY got some sewing time.  It's off to Knoxville with the girls from guild to have a sewing mini retreat so to speak.  We went to Connie's office complex and sewed all day long and had a GREAT time.  I got to finish the Summer Memories mug rugs for Debra.  She's a new quilting friend from Oklahoma I met this summer while doing the mug rug swap on QuiltGallery.com.  Here are some pictures of our fun day out....first of many to come.
