Time...



I definitely feel the passing of time...



We enjoyed a beautiful summer 

here in Western Oregon






The flowers decorated our yard with so much color







Summer is Gunnr's favorite season







We attended an estate sale 

and brought home 11 yards...

33 feet of fabric for $5

This will make great backings for comfort quilts.




Summer has passed us by...


The apples are ripe and it is pie baking time







The trees soaked in all the glorious sunshine 

during the summer months...

and now they are giving back all of that sunshine 

to us....they are just glowing!












The fog is just rolling in this evening...







Within minutes, the entire river bottom and valley

are engulfed in fog...




We made a difficult decision last week...


We decided to remove the fir tree in the center

of the yard...

The huge limbs fall from the tree every time the

winds come through, damaging several of our

vehicles over the years.






Half of the limbs have fallen off on the right side 

of the tree (back yard view).




For 26 years we have watched that tree grow...


Here is the view of our yard without the tree...

We miss that old tree.

Yes, I am definitely feeling the passing of time.


On a happier note, I am back in the Thread Shed

creating with fabric and thread.

I have new Quilting Sketches to share with you

from my sketch book.

More to come...

Gunnr's Quilt...


In September I started a Quilt for Gunnr...



You can watch Gunnr and I make the quilt by








I put lots of quilting stitches in it so it would 

be sturdy and hold up well...






Gunnr absolutely adores his Quilt!







He sleeps under it each night...






He sleeps under it in the back seat of the pick up

on the way to town...






He takes naps with it during the day...













He even wears it around the house...






This is a well loved Quilt!

As a quilter, it is so satisfying to create a quilt

for that special someone who really appreciates it!




Out in the back yard.....early morning:


The fog hasn't lifted yet this morning...

but I can still see the grape arbor glowing!






The grape leaves are really putting on a show...


















We are having a gorgeous autumn 

here in Western Oregon
