This is a sweet gum tree outside my front porch and every morning the leaves are turning a little more. This morning I noticed quite a bit more red mixed in with the yellow's. I am really enjoying the fall we are having. The weather has been absolutely beautiful and I am savoring every moment!
This is our buddy Nigel at his finest :) He is fully enjoying his nap next to the warm lap top on a velour blanket. I always think it is so comical when they are asleep with their legs extended.
Today the cats piled in with us and slept, while we watched movies as I picked all the paper out of the paper pieced crazy quilt for the benefit. It took the better part of ten hours!!! I am most certain that I have seen water soluble paper for paper piecing and vow to never again do another paper pieced quilt unless I use it. lol Oh my goodness what a labor of love :) Yesterday I was able to purchase the backing and binding fabric for the quilt both primary colors so they do not compete with the top. I hope to have the quilt basted and hopefully get some quilting started tomorrow. I'm excited!!! :)

Thank you Sue, I can't wait to show everyone when it is finished and most of all I'm so excited to give it to the benefit! :)
Your Nigel is a lot like our Squeaker :) He sleeps in the same position! I am dying to see that quilt finished... it's so gorgeous.
