That picture reminds me of all kinds of romantic books and movies, and I'm sure a handsome young man on horseback who cannot live without your love is about to come riding into the clearing... :-). Here in the Carolinas we don't get the distinct seasons that I miss from NJ and MN. We go from summer to blah to spring in NC.<br /><br />Your October piece looks fantastic, and I LOVE your bonus piece. I still have several months to make up, but that quilt from nature bonus tute intimidated me for some reason. Your leaf vane stitches look so organic and serene.

So pretty, plus I like the silence. I think your FMQ looks great, but after reading about the football sized area, I may change my name. I'm sure you thought of this but just in case, make sure you put you're link in both linkys so you get credit. Smitty doesn't look too bothered by Gracie's wicked ways, go Gracie!Dana Gaffneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023202806714127984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-91269729325493572412012-10-13T22:15:04.353-07:002012-10-13T22:15:04.353-07:00I'm so happy you have something to whine about...I'm so happy you have something to whine about again.

I really should get to practicing mine.<br /><br />Love the Gracie/Smitty conflict! They are wonderful.

Great job on your challenge pieces - got to get back to my Susan Brubaker Knapp one and hopefully get the October one finished before the end of the month. I look at the Oregon rain as a guilt-free sewing/quilting day!

We get rain all summer and I don't mind a bit, because I'm one of those weirdos who enjoys a good storm. <br />It's a good thing you didn't have to use my name for that quilting challenge. If you had a football sized area left over with your name imagine what would have been left after quilting around AMY!! LOL We too are experiencing the cat displacement in our home. Riley has decided that he has to take up all of Lilly's favorite spots. They are so silly!

I'm just back from the Northern New Mexico quilt show and I noticed that I liked some quilt designs with fillers that flowed from one pattern to another like yours. (I'll have photos to share later on my blog, if you want to see them). <br /><br />We have had storms off and on all day. If there's thunder, lightning and strong winds, Grace disappears under the quilt on my bed. Johnny's latest habit is to watch through the sliding door in the studio or one of the French doors in the living room. sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408822963659450038noreply@blogger.com
