Last Hibiscus Flower

It is late for my hibiscus to be flowering but had to show the last flower. It will freeze soon.
Also want to thank all who are registering for my giveaway. I wanted to reply to each of you but have gotten behind. It is so nice to 'meet' all my fellow quilters. A special thanks to all who signed up to follow me. I am hoping for at least 100 followers. I am registering and following- hope to get to all of you before the 15th
when the giveaway ends.

Fall coasters

We had our quilt guild meeting on Sat. and I gave the lesson on Tube Quilting. Not many had heard of it so we should see lots of blocks for show and tell. Last month the lesson was on the envelope purse and several of the members are making them for Christmas gifts. We had many beautiful quilts and table runners for show and tell. We have a really talented group and I get lots of ideas.
I made some fall coasters from the blog- abrandiecreation.com They are easy and fun to make.
Hope you all are having busy sewing days.

My Fall-into-Fall giveaway gifts

These are my gifts for the giveaway. I have a 36 by 44 Nativity panel and 1/2 yard of fall fabric. Also a supply holder for either quilting or hands sewing. The little spindles can be used for thread or I keep my thimble on one. Good luck!!!

Christmas Coasters

On Tuesday we had a "fun" day with the extension clubs in the county. It is a social deal but one club always furnishes a little project to do. We have made jewelry and greeting cards plus other things. This year we made the coasters.
Have you joined the giveaway at Fall-into-fall????????? Don't know for sure what I will give away but have lots of ideas.

What I've been working on!!

This is the quilt I have been hand-quilting. It is not moving very fast but when the weather is nice I like to be out in the yard. I also have several other projects that I am working on. This week-end I am going to play with my EQ7 and figure out the border for the Jewel Box. When I am blog hopping I see so many neat ideas I want to try- also want to do some Christmas sewing. Hope you all are having a good sewing day.

Worlds Only Corn Palace.

Today I am showing you a tourist attraction in our city. It is all decorated with corn and grains. There are also murals inside the building. The outside is decorated each year with different themes. Yesterday they hosted a senior citizen day and served over 500 dinners. Also had music for people to dance- mostly polkas and waltzs. Today the polka fest begins. It will go until Sunday with several different bands playing. They also have other activities in this building- Kenny Rogers recently had a show here and soon basketball games will start.
