First the destashing: Used 2.42 yds for 9 blocks I'm using in two projects and the binding for the t-shirt quilt. I'm giving my neighbor another 2 yards for her stash - she's a new quilter and hasn't built it up yet. So my
YTD total now is 63.06 yards.
This afternoon, after my DGS leaves, hope to do some slow Sunday stitching on an applique block I prepped earlier this year. I've been working on it as I take my friend to her radiation treatments. I don't think I've shown this Anna's Garden block before:
This is one of my WIPs Be Gone projects, so I'm glad to be back to working on it.
Out in the garden I found a last and rare blooming going on. One of the last flowers to bloom are my sulfur cosmos. These have grown taller and blooming later with each season I save seed. So I may have to start from brand new seeds next spring. When I first planted them, they were only about 2 feet tall when they bloomed. Now if I let them - they'd be 5 feet tall.
I'm standing in a well around the house. That's why they look taller than I. I see these from my kitchen window. Here's a close up so you can see the luscious sulfur color.
And the rare flower (well at least to me as it is a night bloomer and I rarely catch one open) is from a Pilosocereus cactus I noticed from my bathroom window.
October is almost gone! Blessings,
