And yet...

By four o'clock yesterday afternoon, it was almost ninety degrees.

Wacky temperature swings are typical of Fall in northern Michigan -- it makes for fantastic sleeping. It also makes packing for a week a little challenging because you have to bring winter jammies, a bathing suit, and everything in between.


While it was still chilly I took a trip to my favorite quilt shop and found backing and binding for my Jelly Pops quilt. I also found a great white-on-white stipple print that may get integrated somewhere.


When I brought the new fabric out to take pictures, I realized I had some great light and a great background...so the top came out for another photo op. I love how the white border glows.

I also picked up a "Woodland Bloom" jelly roll, thinking that my Monkey Girl might want her own quilt to coordinate with the doll quilts we made last month.

Like I needed another project to finish before Christmas...zheesh.

I got a little carried away with taking pictures of this one. I couldn't make up my mind which shot I liked best, so you're getting them all.

I put it on the wood pile...

On the deck with pine cones and oak leaves...

On the dock, where it was a lot brighter...

And down by the fire pit.

Sometimes I think I'm better at buying fabric and taking pictures of it than actually making things with it. Is that a bad habit to get into?
