It's a lovely day out.

Our weather is lovely, cooler and less humid so I have been out taking some photographs. Hubbie is in England for most of September and today the rest of us decided to have a sloooow day :) My son has just gotten back from the park and DD #3 is watching high school football. (We won last night).

This was going to be the back of my new Christmas wall hanging but once I put the border on I decided to have it be the front. I have some applique to do and I am enjoying the blue as a different color. It will also go on the back. It currently measures 26"x221/2" but may get a bit bigger depending on how I decide to finish it.
Since our yard it pretty much past it's best I'm thinking about taking some of my other quilt tops over to the park and photographing them there :)

Textile Corner - How Many Times Round the Block?" - an update

I'm finally moving along with my Scottie Dog wall hanging. It's going to be for Christmas and I used my favorite deep red for the border and collar. To "fun it up" a bit I used one of my Mary Engelbreit fabrics for the back and cut out some of the squares to add to the front. I'm planning on adding a button for the dog's eye and a charm to the collar. I'm contemplating adding some ric-rac on the border and make some ric-rac flowers I saw on-line. The wall hanging is actually darker than the picture indicates. I took the photo beside one of our south facing windows.
