Saturday Sparks Link Party 734 from Pieced Pastimes

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 734!

Starting off today's party with a pacesetter!


Autumn comes and goes so quickly.

Without fail, that red leafed tree is the first to start off the fall foliage.

I have learned to keep a watchful eye on her.

 It seems that just as her colors start to fade, the remaining landscape takes over with a show all its own.

"The leaves are changing; I feel poetry in the air."

~ Laura Jaworski

Now, onto the party,

First up, the Fabulous Features from Saturday Sparks 733

What I’m Reading: Rage from Jo's Country Junction

It’s been a bit since I’ve listened to an audiobook. When I was driving to Des Moines to see Wicked, I knew a book would be a great companion, so before I left, I made sure I had an audiobook downloaded. It was easy for me to pick Rage by Linda Castillo. I’ve loved her …

Friday check in: HLC, stash enhancement, and solid progress from With Strings Attached


Familiar ground for this week's Hike Lake County walks.   On Wednesday, Ethel's Woods (named for Ethel Untermyer who led the effort to create the Lake County Forest Preserve District in the 1950's).   Today, Lyons Woods (named for Isaac Lyons who settled the area in 1843).   

The monarch stayed still long enough for several snapshots.

Roberta, a guild friend, said she had some scrap fabric for me if I was interested.   I went to her house on Wednesday (after Ethel's Woods).   You may recall that I pulled scraps and yardage for the guild rafflemania that was cancelled ...

Almost done!! from The Knitting Quilter


My Autumn cross stitch is finished. I just have to find some sort of trim and fabric to finish the pillow.  I didn't measure it but I think it measure about 4" X 7".


The ghosts are just missing an outer border. They measure about 26.5" X 14.4". They are so cute!


I bought a couple of Halloween fabrics for the borders. I think I'll make one of each and decide which one to give to my son/daughter-in-law and which to keep for myself. 

I have some great plans for tomorrow. A quilty friend will ...

Floral Picnic X and Plus from The Colorful Fabricholic

I taught a class featuring the X and Plus block to fellow members of PCQ in May. Several of my students were planning to go to the same retreat as me in July and they were planning to work on their X and Plus projects at retreat. The more the merrier, so I decided to make another X and Plus quilt, this time a donation quilt in floral prints. This palette is totally unlike most of the other versions out there, and very much unlike the Kaffe/black and Christmas versions my friends were making. 

I searched through PCQ's ...

What We Are Working On from Eagle's Wings Quilts

 We had four lovely finishes yesterday. A fully finished Disappearing Nine Patch and three quilt tops. What a great and efficient group we have. Marcia finished this Disappearing Nine patch. It is labeled and ready to go to a person in need. Tammy finished this Churn Dash top. Here at home I’ve been working on quilt tops as well. Yesterday I got the final borders sewn on to 2 of them. A Triple Irish Chain and a Trip Around the World. I seem to have reverted back to using blues again. I tried for a while to get away ...

Just Beachy from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We couldn’t have asked for better weather for our beach hikes yesterday. It was sunny and warm enough to be out without jackets. Some folks were in shorts and flip-flops, and that would have been comfortable too. I’ll tell you about the hikes in a minute. First, let me back up to the day before. We were out to walk around the RV park a little bit. It isn’t a large park, and we can see pretty much the whole thing from our door. On our walk, I spied these pretties growing in ...

I Like Thursday # 523 what would you do if you won the lottery from Not Afraid of Color

 


conversation starter

affectionate Alfie


3.imagine you won the lottery, what are your first three purchases?

I would buy a fine house somewhere with space, open views. It would need to be large enough for two studios and a BR for alfie and I to share. Windows, arched doorways, flowers in the yard, peaceful with a nook for my writing (I still want to write a novel/book

I would buy a functional car 

I would put aside money for trips 

what about you?

Ohio's Miami Valley Quilts- REPOST from Humble Quilts

I love revisiting amazing antique quilts and am so thrilled I got to see these in person!

This is a repost from September 2023




Because I made this quilt in 2016 I was really looking forward to seeing the exhibit of Ohio's Miami Valley quilts at the International Quilt Museum! 

Here is my finished quilt:

Karen Beigh and I did this one together and she was instrumental in designing our quilts!

These were the books we used. 

Sue Cummings book does not have patterns but inspiration. 

Anita Shackelford does have patterns in her booklet.

I don't have much ...

A day of mysteries! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Today, all is revealed, as there were several mysteries at play. 

First—the fabric with the quilt blocks I bought the other day is part of an Anna Marie Textile (division of Northcott) collection. It's called Piecework, and it's not new - it's from 2025. See how often I get out? 

Here's a reminder of the fabrics; you can check the link above for the rest. As mentioned, Ye Olde Fabric Shoppe had all or most of them. 

Piecework collection by Anna Marie Textiles


Second mystery—the darn storage for my email. While I didn't get ...
