I am claiming that it is my friend Maureen's fault that I added more fabric. She is always willing to be so helpful!! LOL On Monday, we met at Gruber's Quilt Shop for Sew-Sew Monday. The plan was to sew up our aprons for our sewing machines. Well --- we didn't finish the aprons but Maureen did go in search of more fabric to make more sewing machine aprons for gifts. She spotted some fabric that she thought I would just have to have. Guess what??? Yes, I did find fabric that just needed to be purchased for covers and aprons for some of my machines. Honest -- I was not intending to get anything!! LOL The focus fabric is just too much fun with the thread, scissors, and other accessories. The button fabric and pin fabric just had to come home also. The green is a fun accent color.

The rest of the week was spent trying to solve internet issues. Turns out the wireless modem router bit the dust.  It is amazing how many steps it took to get me back up and running. I sure didn't realize how much I depend on the internet and I especially missed my email and reading blogs, and following Pinterest. My -- how times have changed.

Getting impatient for the newest mystery by Bonnie Hunter to start. Not many days left until we get the first set of instructions. Count down has started ------

Here's hoping that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

For the last week, we were grand-doggy sitting. Zoe, our daughter Brenda's dog, shadowed me the entire week. I couldn't get her to stay in just one spot in the sewing room, so I couldn't get a lot done. At least that is my excuse for lack of progress! LOL 

Another week of enhancing the stash. Two of the yards that I purchased are for an in process quilt project. The bottom fabric in the picture below is perfect to go with the machine embroidered blocks I did this summer. There are still some more blocks to embroider. Also, I have been sorting through the stash for fabrics that coordinate with both the blocks and the fabric for the quilt. The top fabrics are neutrals that are always useful.

Looking forward to this years Quiltville Mystery. Have managed to pull all of the colors for "Celtic Solstice" mystery by Bonnie Hunter (see: http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/celtic-solstice-mystery.html ). So far it appears that I have everything needed in my stash, so should not have to purchase anything!! Guess, we'll have to wait and see. LOL

The "boys" have been out deer hunting. Hubby shot two last night. We really miss it if we have no venison. Since the deer in the area feed on soy beans and corn, it is very good meat with hardly any wild taste.
