The last time I shared the hand-pieced Hollow 9 patch project, I had sewn the blocks into four sections. That was at the end of August! This week I pulled those sections back out and stitched them together into a small flimsy - 24 inches square.

I've been baking again this week! After making all that applesauce over the weekend, I decided to see what I could make out of it, and found this recipe for Applesauce Cake. It is yummy! I substituted chocolate chips for the raisins - that works just fine. Interestingly, there are no eggs in this cake. Googling that, it turns out that applesauce can be a substitute for eggs! I'd never heard that before.
Block 19 for Melva's Pieces of My Life QAL is called Rough Road. Looking at the group of blocks that I've made so far, I decided I needed more red in this quilt, so that determined my fabric choices.
This week I finished up the September heart for my Year of Hearts project, hosted by Melisa at PinkernPunkin Quilting. It was a pleasure to stitch and I think it turned out so cute! At the link ⬆️ to Melisa's post, you will find the new October heart and some bonus blocks, too, as well as the hearts from all the previous months.
My September darks and October lights are finished for the patchwork heart project. It has been really enjoyable to work with fall colors - browns, tans, golds, and whatever else fit in!
I like October! I like the Colorado landscape this time of year.
