Before I left

I made three more stars for SLOL:

and while I was there found some quilt inspiration on the guest floor.

It was a fun trip.  The ride home was a bit bumpy. When we got to SoCal even more so due to Santa Ana winds. In fact the plane had to make a wide circle to Ontario - all the way to Desert Hot Springs and Palm Springs and then all the way to Prado Dam and the 91/71 intersection (for those who know the area).  That made Ontario the center of the loop and used up time til there was a pocket of quiet air to land the plane. Winds were bad.  Another fact - a trash can flew out into the street as DH was driving to the airport to pick me up - the car is now in the shop getting a new front bumper, parking light and fixing a dent on the right bumper - all from the wind blowing things around.  Ah, me.

Blessings to you all.  Hope to get back to quilting soon.

Enjoying a short Fall visit

On my Design Mat

my first of three houses for my Sweet Land of Liberty bottom border.  This was a bit challenging as it had to be a 4.5" house block unfinished.  Finally printed out Lori's photo of her houses and adjusted for the size - her's are 5x7 and mine as I said 4.5.  Bit wonky, but it will do. Had to approach it as a bit of paper piecing and patchwork.  Now to do the other two.

What are you up to?  Linking with Design Wall Monday,  BOMs Away, Monday Making, and Moving it Forward.

Blessings,
