Good day! well I started putting the second quilt together. My inspiration came from the Quiltmania Magazine 147 I loved how the quilt looked in the mag. I started cutting and placing and had made some adjustments but was not happy due to value as you can see it is heavy in the middle. 

So I conformed and went with the pattern they way they had it laid out. I was pleasantly appeased. They kinda look like wrapped candies and I went a little lighter with the blocks in the middle to divide the stripes on each side. Designing sometimes is the hold up, but I am getting there. 

I also wanted to give a preview of how the oakleaf hydrangeas are happy in their new home new leaves are forming and now that fall is approaching they are changing into their fall colors this is very exciting to me! 

these are the new ones that I have planted and their very happy as you can see new young leaves i just can't wait till next spring! This year I have really loved my garden at first the work was hard but I chipped away at it and I am happy, common Winter get it over with for the spring surprises to come

Meara has become quite happy with a good 15min cuddle then she goes on her merry way. Ted sleeps more and more in his own bed, the boy I fear has lost his hearing and shows signs of doggy dementia as well. Ted will be 14 this year. Time just keeps marching on.
