I'm back home with my parents. We have spent the first few days unpacking and settling in to the spaces I have made available for them.
My garden over flowed and I had to can tomatoes one day, while unpacking boxes. I ended up canning seven batches for a total of 35 quarts. I am glad summer is coming to and end and the tomato crop is slowing down.
I finally unpacked the last box today, and things will get back to some normalcy and I hope to be sewing again shortly. Especially since I have joined the Farmer's Wife 1930's Sampler Quilt Sew-Along that begins September 28th, 2015 and lasts for a year.

It has been all the rage over the FB page to have the book hole punched and wire bound, so for the first time, I had this one done. What a difference it makes! Hubby had them add frosted plastic front and back to help protect the book, and it makes it really nice. I also picked out my fabric from my stash. If you remember, I have a rather large stash of 30's reproduction fabric, so I pulled from it as I want to stay true to the book of the 1930's era.
Stay tuned!
Warmest...
