I finished my wall hanging!  I took this class with David Taylor, professional quilter of Colorado, this summer and I finally finished with sewing/appliqueing the apple leaves.  The quilting was fun!  I used three colors, brown, green, and light blue to quilt.  I even created a simulated wood frame.
My youngest grandson wanted to help with the display!

I love it!  I also purchased his hummingbird kit.  It is so beautiful!  I can hardly wait to start, but I have to put it aside on the back burner.  I've several quilt tops to pin baste and get to quilting.

I finished my quilting for block #1 with Leah Day's quilt along!  This is fun, I can't wait to start block #2.  I've been looking at others' postings and some of the participants have finishing piecing block 2!  It's been just 4 days since Leah opened for purchase the second block.

Here's the front and here's the back with the pretty gold thread on top and backing.

Allietare!
I have been working when I have a free moment on my flimsy.  I had to stop and found my self ripping the last row.  I sewed the end blocks going the opposite direction and it doesn't align.  At the moment, I have 3/4 sewn with the last corner waiting for the last row..then I can sew the borders.

 
I love the colors.  I've never been to Italy, but what I seen in pictures and Bonnie's blog, the colors represent well.  It reminds me of the tile floors.

I have enjoyed this mystery..this makes my 4th mystery with Bonnie.

I finally finished my table runner!  I took the hand applique' class back a few years at our local quilt shop.  The class was very informative and fun, but I just didn't get to work on quilting it.  I used my Electric Quilt program and their applique' library.  I don't like to hand sew, so I challenged myself and took the class.  It was worth the time.  I found the top while moving to another room; I had forgotten how much quilting I had sewn.....why, it's done.  So last evening, I cut out some binding and sewed.   I'll add my label this evening.

I don't have a lot of pink items around the house, so this is certainly a welcomed addition.  I could have it on hand for a gift....hmmm.

I'm just glad I'm finished with it!

I also took a machine applique class with David Taylor this past summer and I love using my machine and still have the same results.   I also have another machine applique class on the Craftsy platform..Amanda Murphy's 20 Fresh Applique' Techniques. Do you think I'm hooked?  I love this technique.

I also started the Block of the Month with Leah Day.  I love the bright colors she selected, so I went with her color palette.

Here's the block marked and ready to free-motion.  She made this block of the month program easy.  She also provides free motion designs!

I like using the Pinmoors.  I 'll have to buy enough for a much larger quilt...king?

Another fruitful weekend...
I watched the Craftsy class I recently ordered....Annie Unrein's class....'Home Organizers'.  I love her patterns and now she has a couple of classes on this platform. 

Here's a picture of my storage baskets.  I purchased the fabric while in Las Vegas.  The prints of treadle machines and other vintage sewing tools is so adorable.

I've stuffed them with a variety of sewing and quilting stuff.  They are fun to make and are proving to be quite handy!

I have been working on sewing the blocks together.  This isn't as easy....there are so many intersections, seams to align and meet.  I spent some time froggin'!  It sure is a pretty design once the blocks are sewn together. 
I had to step back and work on other stuff.  I'll get some pictures up to show what I've been sewing.
