quilting at the Circle R Motel

As the busy days of summer turn to the slower days of fall, I have been doing some more sewing and working on my quilting. In between I've been ATVing.   But, here are a few photos of quilting projects.

This photo above is my picnic quilt made from scraps.  Lots of memories in these fabrics!

 Now, this photo above is my unfinished table topper.  Those are bee hives and then the bee squares
are there in the bright yellow.  Thanks to my friend Nanette for the pattern!    http://fredashive.blogspot.com/

 This photo is my row quilt.  Every three weeks or so, the quilting teacher gives us a pattern for the next row.  The apples are my favorite so far!    http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com/

This photo above is the back of the picnic quilt, which I got also from Nanette. Thanks Nanette.

Since this quilt has cowboys on the back, I may give it to my daughter if she can handle another quilt!

 

 

And finally, this is my new winter wall hanging.  It's mostly applique.  I love Cardinals

and so that's why I bought this "kit".  Thanks to Mari for quilting it for me! 

 

 

Fall in the mountains

It's been an amazing fall in Chaffee County and Salida.  Still warm.  We have had Arkansas River fly fishermen visit, adventure riders on their dirt bikes, and hunters of course.  The river is perfect for fishing.  Lee and I have been ATVing.  Monarch Ski Resort has sent out information for ski season.  I guess I have to resolve myself to the fact that winter is coming.  Our cleaning gal is leaving tomorrow.  We will miss her.  Now Lee has to get back to cleaning the rooms.  He had a nice break!
