Quilts, Harvest, Sewing Room Tip, and Baby Logan

Several weeks ago my quilt club had a mini quilt show at a local barn tour.

I thought it was neat the way they had it set up with all the traditional quilts on right side and the more modern quilt on the left.  The Grandmother's Fan on the left is my quilt. 

Check out the neat barn quilt!

Barn quilts seem to be getting popular in Ohio. 
The barn quilts seem to make the farm/city a warmer and more welcoming place.

Harvest has been going on in Ohio and last weekend we had a lot of rain, but we're all back in the fields harvesting this weekend.  Rain is in the forecast so farmers are rushing to get their beans harvested before it rains again.

Here is my sewing room tip:

I put all my used needles in an old pill bottle.

This way you can safely dispose of your needles and it keeps them away from curious pets and kids.

I would like you to meet Baby Logan.

I am his Great Aunt and we will have to make a trip down south to see him.

There is a baby quilt on the way to keep him warm during the winter months.

Sorry I was in such a big hurry to ship it that I forgot to take a picture, but this picture is just as sweet as can be.
Welcome to the world Logan!

Happy Quilting!

Rail Fence Quilt Top & A Sewing Room Tip

This is a quilt top that now with a special long-arm quilter that will hopefully be ready sometime in November.  My neighbor asked me if I could make his wife a quilt for their 25th Anniversary.  I hope they will be pleased with it when it is finished.

Have you ever had a problem finding a quilt book?

This is one shelf of my Mom's quilt books and she has them organized with file folders.  

What a neat way to organize quilt books!

Summer is now turning into fall.

Here is a picture of my butterfly bush a few weeks ago.

Happy Quilting,
