I have had this quilt for about two months and finally got it quilted. I washed it when I was finished and I LOVE how it turned out!

I decided that you were probably wondering which 
quilt that Julie chose. It is from Eleanor Burns and is called "Twin Sisters". I used Maywood's Willowberry and I really love this quilt.
Actually, I made two. I didn't like the quilting on the first one, so I made the second. Then, I ripped out all of the quilting on the first and re-did it. So now we both have one--mine is flannel and her's is cotton!
And, we are both happy!
I wasn't going to post today because I haven't finished anything in the last couple of days, but I have not been sitting on my fat laurels! I got my brother-in-law's quilt quilted, I taught someone how to quilt using a longarm, and have been working this afternoon on this and that.
I got home from golf yesterday and my significant other had all of the clocks turned back--2 pm! I had a pot of ham and beans simmering because my student wasn't going to get to my house until 2:30 and who knew what time we would finish up. So dinner was taken care of.
We had about two trick or treaters and at 7 pm, Wayne looks at me and says "bedtime"! I looked at the clock and he says, I thought that you knew I set the clocks ahead. So, umm, I am up at 4:30 this morning. I showered, read the paper, prepped a roast for the crock pot and logged in to see the November Schnibbles pattern--"Picnic". I got on ebay and found the pattern from Quilt Taffy and bought it. I was so anxious, I clicked the buy button twice and bought two patterns.
I went off to the golf course, arriving an hour early, which I NEVER do and played 18 holes in shirt sleeves, and the windows on the cart were all open. It was 60+ degrees, blue skies and no wind.
When I got home, my step daughter was gone--she will be staying with her brother for two months and then, we get her back. I really enjoyed her company. She left us a little thank you surprise. I let her pick a quilt yesterday. She was happy!
When I finish all of my "this and that" I will post the pics so you will see how busy I was. (Well, I don't know if busy if the right word--maybe obsessed is better?!)

Happy Monday morning.
There are pictures of my quilted October Schnibbles. I am improving on my feathers, only one boo-boo, which I am not going to show!
I got started on my last quilt for Vicki. I just have to sew on the borders and then quilt it.
I also started a quilt for my friend (Doris)'s daughter.

I also wanted to let you know that I finished my October Schnibbles top yesterday as well. I debated between fall fabric and breast cancer awareness fabric. I went with the latter. Ro Gregg has some beautiful BCA fabric--sorry will post the name tomorrow. Anyway, will get it quilted and post another pic.

Schnibbles October
Good Monday morning. My sister called yesterday to see why I hadn't posted anything on my blog. I said, "because I had not finished any quilts"! Well, guess what. I finished Vicki's mother-in-law's quilt. Vicki bought the material. It is mainly Moda "Aviary". The picture is not good, but...

I wanted to show you a picture of my third cousin, Rejeana, who came down from Spokane last Sunday for a visit. My sister, Rejeana and I do not necessarily look alike but our bodies are quite the same. We have the "Studeville" body!!!
She also brought me a giant zucchini--no, I did not take a picture! Yesterday I chopped it all up and made a double batch of lemon zucchini cake--yum, yum. I took two little cakes to my hairdresser for her son, who loves the cake. She also does NOT tell him that it is zucchini. LOL
