Quilts! Quilts!

I spent Friday and Saturday looking at all the beautiful quilts sent into the Bloggers Quilt Festival.  There were so many and so beautiful and so many great post to go with them.  I had quilts swimming around in my head last night as I went to bed.  This goes until Nov 5 so if you have not checked it out you will be missing a wonderful array of talent .  The link is in post from Friday.  I could not visit all the sites in one day.  My husband thought I had lost my mind.  He only knew I was here because I fixed him lentil soup.  LOL.
I am off to church and hope you all have a blessed Sunday.

Josh's quilt for Blogger Quilt Festival

Bloggers Quilt Festival

I picked this quilt for the festival as it was given to a special boy and for two special reasons.  My daughter could never have children of her own.  This very special young woman pregnant and single made my daughter a mom.  During the pregnancy they became close and we learned of different situations in her life and also meant her 2 children that were at home.  Home life was not very good.  The one boy touched my heart.  I wanted him to have something of his own, made just for him.  I made the quilt from a pattern in a book that is upstairs and don't remember the name.  I also made one for his little sister that I did not know as well. 
This quilt was made with many feeling in my heart.  I felt deep gratitude to his mother for allowing my daughter to have from birth a child of her own.  I wanted the boy who recieved the quilt to feel loved and important. 
This is quilt I entered and it is at http://amyscreativeside.com/2010/10/29bloggers-quilt-festival-fall-2010/

Halloween Colors for Colorful Friday Daisy Quilts Blog

Here it is.  Black, orange/yellow and purple. 

My Joe had 2nd radiation treatment for cancer so maybe later can add more.  This is so fun. 

Apples, apples and more apples

I am back up to my ears in apples.  This is handy,dandy apple peeler and it is a handy tool.  Drying apples and will have yummy dried apple pie this winter.  I am from Los Angeles and never heard of dried apple pie until my mother-in-law who was from Kentucky showed me how to make it.  Yum!
We just had a whopper of a storm go through, high wind, tornado warnings and rain coming down in sheets.  It was a fast mover and is here and gone and now we are wet and chilly. 
My house smells sooooooooooo good with the apples drying.

I have not had time for much quilting but am doing a little here and there.  Hope you all have a great day.

Orange Friday on Daisy Quilt Blog

I have enjoyed colorful Fridays on DaisyQuilts.blogspot.com for some weeks and I find myself looking for colors that are for that Friday and today I just decided to join in the fun.  Here are my Oranges for Friday.  I will be seeing orange all day.  LOL

Fall in my home

These photos are of my porch, very little decoration this year as porch is suppose to get repaired this fall and didn't want to move a bunch of decorations whenever the fellow shows up.
I have photo of 'burning bush" that is turning really nicely and maple tree that is changing. 
These are miniature roses and this is the last roses of summer.
In my house are all the house plants that are inside for the winter.
The air is crisp and clean and will probably rain in a couple of days.  Have the wood burning stove fired up and the evenings are very pleasant. 
I have knitting needles, yarn and markers and row counter and am ready to start a sock.  Maybe this weekend I will do that.
