 Apple Pies and Poisoned Lies at the Cider Festival by Traci Hall

As soon as I finished the last page, I dashed off to the author's web page to sign up for her mailing list. I cannot WAIT for the second book in this series to come out so that I can spend more time with Macki and her family. This book had me completely, very happily, immersed in the orchards and pie filled kitchen and waiting impatiently for answers. There's a complex mystery with long simmering rivalries and an intense conclusion. The atmosphere will appeal to readers ...

I'm going to tackle this in order... Quilts, Garden, Stupid-Ass Politics, and Sundry.  I know that you like to keep things orderly, same as me.

Last year the Binbrook Guild President's Challenge was to make something based on either birds or animals.  I have shamelessly copied a quilt that I found on the internet.  After this pic was taken I gussied ...

Foundation Paper Piecing. Love it or loath it, it's a marvelous method with great accuracy. It's been around for many, many years. Whoever 'invented' it is a very smart cookie! I also think that about the 'No-Waste Flying Geese' method!! Not being a smart cookie helps me appreciate this clever stuff very much.

Sharon Leek feels the same. She is on fire with Foundation Paper Piecing. She's mastered it beautifully. Obviously she has, just look at this block. This is the one she started in class and finished at home.

This is the one she made at ...

How are you all? I'm keeping very busy in the house and in the garden. Here is a view of the wooden house from the right side. I let that Birch tree grow from a tiny sapling and now I wonder if I should have done that. I love Birches and they don't have the longevity that other kinds of trees have so it won't be there forever. I thought it provides a little shade and privacy too. Anyway, it is now as tall as the roof!

Good morning, my friends. Okay, September 1st is over, and on we go with what remains of summer. It was a good day for sewing here. There was enough progress made on the Plaid Cat that I decided to move my hoop. The green stripes on the cat need to be stitched first because the purple stripes are stitched over the top where they intersect. I'd taken the green stripes about as far as I could go without moving to a different position.

This patchwork piece has been added to........the edge of a vintage handkerchief and a scrap of lace embellished with French knots. 

I will leave this piece for a little while now as I am anxious to finish my drawstring pouch. 

There are ribbon ties to sew onto that and a lining cloth to source.

The big thing that sticks in my mind for August is just how hot it was all month.  Normally we get those triple digit temps for a couple of weeks. It was pretty much the whole month, with just a few days of temps dipping into the 90's. It was a good month for sewing, it was too hot to do much else.  No finishes last month, but there was still enough progress to do an August PHD report to link up with Ms. P Designs.  

No finishes, but there was a new project started last month. It was ...

WWL is a place where you can share photos of quilts you’re working on and get encouragement to finish them from our Wednesday Wait Loss group! As you can see, I’ve been doing this for years and so our group is strong, loves to share, and is very welcoming.

Here’s how it works. Every week I start out by sharing what I’ve been working on. Then I share the projects from the previous week that most inspired me so that they will inspire you too! This is followed by the actual link up where you can ...

New fridge collage

The trip to Scotland was wonderful!   I got home Friday evening.  I've recovered from jet lag and I'm gradually coming up to speed with regular life.   The travelog is in process (basically a compilation of the daily Facebook posts and photos).  I'll post it in a day or two.

Instead of working on those the past two evenings I made purple coin units for the September RSC.    The pattern calls for 12 blocks with two coin units each.    I ...

Garden Stars is a BOM from Carol Doak, going on via her Facebook group. This year she began the BOM with a block that will repeat in between the monthly star blocks. That way we can work on them gradually through the year.

The September Star block was actually posted a couple of days early, and this month I didn't procrastinate.  For this one I used only half of my "colors".  I have 2 shades of each (yellow, orange, aqua, teal), but only used 1 of each in the block.  

So far I'm keeping up with the single ...

Yes - I need to get that oven fixed so I can bake my own muffins. We eat more processed foods than I would like, but really it's not a lot. BUT -- I need to be more mindful and be more aware. I didn't have time yesterday to discover how much sugar is in my other two gummies. I'll investigate, and I MUST call about the oven!

I forgot to share this photo with you yesterday.
