I've been busy working & quilting. I have 3 borders left to quilt on Tracy's quilt, which I will post when I've finished. Below is the "Cool Cat" card I made for my DGD Darian. She turned 17 yesterday. I can hardly believe she's so old!
I taught my Basic Threadplay class on the 8th. This coming weekend I have Advanced Threadplay & Free Motion Machine Quilting to teach on Saturday & Sunday.
I always enjoy sharing the fun of free-motion with my students.
Today I made a small purse for the ALCQ to give to Kathy Kansier when she comes this weekend. It started with an experiment with a bit of gold polyester fabric. I tried to see if I could dye it. I couldn't. It didn't take any bit of the dye, but it did hold the shape of the rocks when I tried the pole wrap with rocks. I used it for the front flap, & added burned silk for leaves. I'm pretty happy with the final results.
Autumn being my favorite season, I enjoyed making my pumpkin soup for my DH & 2 of his fellow RT's who came over on Sunday. It was a farewell dinner for James, who is a traveler that Warren has worked with once before. James was brought up to Alaska this time, to work while Warren was off for his knee surgery.
For dessert, I made another Esspresso Cheesecake. This one cracked a bit on top, so it got a heavier coating of coffee frosting than the last one. (Not an all bad thing).

I must be hungry because that food just made my tummy grumble! Haha!
Her card is sooo cute! Can't wait to see it in person. I am having trouble with the fact she is 17 as well. I'm not ready for this to be the last year of childhood!

Look at you - A Card Artist as well! And you love amazing food, as well! Beautiful projects, Deb.
The purse is wonderful, the colors, texture, burnt leaves, it has it all, one of my favorites! I love your pumpkin bowl, the picture is beautiful, it should be in a magazine.
The cat card is too fun.
