What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Last Thursday I sewed with Becky and Barb online, we have a standing Thursday sew time which is nice!  So I decided to put most of the applique on this on by machine and then chain stitched the stem.  No awards won, but I will get it quilted so we can enjoy it this fall.  The pattern is September Golds from Red Button Quilt Company I love her patterns and have amassed quite a collection.  Barb made this one with me too.
I quilted this quilt myself a few months ago.  It turned out alright.  Finally got the binding made ...

Hazel is as happy as we are for a female Vice President!  Herstory in the making!  There were some tears at my house.  I hope our country starts coming together again soon.

Still doing a lot of reading.  This was a really good and fast read!

 This one was 726 pages and was not as fast of a read!  I am really enjoying opening the gifts on these books as I go.  I finished this one yesterday and watched the BBC movie/series about it.  I am looking forward to the new movie about David Copperfield too.  I had never heard anything about this story and while long it was sort of like a soap opera of the day or something.  Originally published as a serial and at least partially autobiographical, I ...
