This is a beautiful quilt. The arrangement of fabrics make it glow.
Inside the cross was simply quilted, with 1/2" straight lines.
Today I woke up, came down to the 'sweat shop' and loaded up a Quilt of Valour. These are done as my charitable donation work, and I have THREE of them that have been sitting here since early summer. Hopefully, I can knock off two of them today, and maybe the third one next Sunday. Alison from Sew What Else is probably wondering if I lost them.
GARDENING
As for the end-of-season gardening, I coulda kissed DH when I came home on Friday and found that he was rototilling the garden! Yay! Now I won't have tokeep bitching repeatedly politely ask him to do that once spring comes.
This fall has been incredibly beautiful, as far as the weather goes. But alas, the fairy tale has come to a tragic end, with snow last night. When I heard that it was on it's way I went and dug up the rosemary plant and some of the oregano. They are now potted up in the house to keep my food nicely seasoned all winter. Unless, of course, I kill them. :P
BOOK
I'm currently reading Someone Else's Garden by Dipika Rai. This is what DH refers to as "a Charla-book". Charla is my Singapore niece who, when she was still living in Canada, had a diverse personal library filled with books that had very dark and disturbing themes. This book? I almost put it down about a third of the way through because of the extent of abuse towards women. I gave it one last chance by flipping to the back and checking if the character I was worried about was still around. It's the kind of story where you REALLY want to know what happens but getting there is almost torturous. If I had the brains God gave me I would not read this at bedtime.
