I have half of the blocks made for my Call of the Wild challenge quilt--and then I ran out of the light fabric I was using for the light logs!  I guess I have to be thankful that I got all the "big" animal blocks made.  Now I'm trying to decide how I will make the "small" animal blocks ("big" and "small" according to the size of the appliques).  I have taken my scrap of fabric to all the fabric stores that I have available, and none of them have fabric that is the same shade.  Anyway, I have purchased 3 yards of a lighter shade of brown and will change my layout a bit to accommodate the change--at least, that is what I think I will do.  

 

This week has been a bust as far as getting any sewing time.  We went to our near big city on Monday so I could try to match my fabric.  Then we had a potluck dinner and the funeral of a good friend to attend.  I hope I have more sewing time this coming week.

Another finish!  I used the leftover blocks from the red/white single Irish Chain that I put together in August, added some blocks, and made a twin-sized quilt top.  I'm now caught up on quilts that were started but not completed--feels good.  That means I'll soon be able to start on the "challenge quilt" that Sandi and I do each year.  After we get back from our road trip this week (I finished this top before we left so I could have some numbers to report!), I hope I will begin making the I-phone cases and snap purses for our Thanksgiving Bazaar--hope I don't listen to the siren song of the next quilt! 

 

Later in the Week:

I listened to the siren song and started the challenge quilt instead of making items for the bazaar.  I have one set of 4 log cabin blocks put together and the animal (an elk) attached with sulky thread and a blanket stitch--and really like it.  I have an additional 5 blocks made--only 39 more to make!!  I think this will take a few weeks to finish.

The road trip was good--and it was good to have a few hours with our son.  We have one more trip to make before winter sets in.
