Crow and his pumpkin are finished - not fully finished, but stitched. I'll try to squeeze that finish in this week. Halloween is coming!

Slow stitching for an October Sunday...

Gameboard Blocks
Since progress has been made on each of my other two Rainbow Scrap Challenge block projects this month, this seemed like a good week to evaluate where I am with the Gameboard blocks. So far, I've made ten of them. I think I'll need at least 30 for a quilt, so this will continue into next year's RSC.

Happy Birthday to my DH, whose favorite activity when we are on a trip somewhere is to have his camera up to his eyes and be looking through it for the best shot! I have pictures of him like this in all kinds of places. This one is taken in a little cove down below our favorite hotel in our favorite Oregon town of Depoe Bay.

Midweek Update
It's been a busy week here, without a lot of time for sewing. We went to Nebraska to visit our son - about a 4 hour drive from where we live in Colorado. It was a nice drive and a great visit with him.

Slow stitching this week...
I finished up "Celebrate Fall" this week. This was a sweet one to work on. It's going to become the center block for my next Stay at Home Round Robin project. Each year for the SAHRR, I've been finishing an embroidered center block with pieced borders for a seasonal wall-hanging. I've made winter, spring, and summer. My 2026 project will be for fall!

16 Patch Star Progress
While also getting started on the construction of my quarter star quilt top, I did some fabric sorting this week. Angela called for browns and blacks for our October blocks, so I was specifically looking for scraps in those colorways to make two more 16 patch stars.
So, how about some light browns and grays? That's in the vicinity, right?!

It's really feeling like fall here the last few days and that includes falling leaves and baking pumpkin things! I roasted up one of my garden pumpkins and younger son and I made my favorite pumpkin bread recipe from Carole at From My Carolina Home. Yum!
