Happy Autumn
Glorious rain - Austin, Texas - 22 September 2009
A good soaking rain began last night, along with sporadic thunder, all thanks to a cold front that moved into the area. Any rain is welcome. Enjoy the start of this season of harvest!
Happy birthday wishes going out to our nephew Zack, hard to believe you are sixteen today!!!!

This time of year
A faint blush - Austin, Texas - August 2007
Although this image was taken two years ago, these same trees all have similarly blushing seedpods this season. The Magnolia trees nearby all benefit from the regular irrigation from in ground sprinklers. Not sure how they would have fared this season since we are experiencing the worst drought in fifty years. Enjoy the journey.

Little bits quilt for Emily and Greg - Austin, Texas - August 2009
Click on images for a larger view.
The newly weds loved our gift. Scott chose the pattern and the colour scheme, then I went to work putting it together. We used a chocolate brown cotton for the front and binding, a marine blue for the backing and six different printed fabrics in various shades of blue to create the little bits panel for the quilt front. It is the largest quilt I have tackled and I learned a great deal from the experience. I am quite pleased with how it turned out and so happy it has been well received. The pattern is referred to as Little Bits Quilt, found in the book, Last-Minute Patchwork & Quilted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson.
We hope the weekend was a relaxing one.
Enjoy the journey.
