Harvest is OVER!

The hubster came in after dark last night and when I asked how things were going, he quietly said, "I'm done."  At first I almost didn't catch it, then I questioned him and realized he was finally finished.  There were still 3 trucks of beans to take to town and all the equipment to move home, but harvest was done.

He came in to find some supper waiting for him and all of these...........

That's 14 total stockings and pawkings!  The last four were made from scraps of an old quilt.  And I am out of usable jeans.  I have been eyeing some of David's jeans that are a little worse for wear.  After a trip to the Farm & Home Store to replace them, I'll probably have some more to work with.  And, I have another idea to try.

It's time to update the to do list...........

1.  Quilt ALL of Mom's quilts that I have hanging in the closet.  (DONE!)

2.  Make binding for the Taffy quilt, Kitties quilt, and pillow.  (DONE!)

3.  Cut batting for all of the above.  (DONE!)

4.  Figure out backings for the Kitties quilt and pillow.  (DONE!)

5.  STOCKINGS!  (DONE!)

6.  Try a Jellyroll basket.  (Done!  See below.)

7.  Finish binding Deb's quilt  (DONE!)

8.  Make a pillow (this got added late, but it's DONE!)

So, I'll need to make a new list tomorrow.

And here is my first fabric bowl.  Starting the bottom was way more difficult than I thought it would be.  I will do things a little bit differently on the next one.  This was made from scraps from the backing of Deb's quilt, so it will go to her.

I caught Willow in a rare moment of napping in the dog house this morning.

Mabel and Harry made it inside and have found a new favorite spot on the recliner in the basement.  They spent most of the day there until piano lessons started.

It's a tough life.
