Some Family Time and sewing

Hi All, had a good day yesterday  was fun because of my sisters. five of us were able to come together and have a lunch  and short visit. One had come up to Ohio to get her MIL . We then called the one in Michigan and she drove down while the other 3 of us live in the area. We ate at the Lynway and enjoyed some of their pies. mm Buckeye is delicious. My daughter and her friend were able to come and eat with us. was a good day in outr neighborhood!!

I came home and decided to sew some. I cut out two pillows and then sewed them and quilted them out today. The pillows are fin ished. I like them alot!! They are in the magazine Celebrating Quilting by Fon's and Porter publishing. Great magaazine if you see it you should buy it. There is so much in this issue you will not be disappointed. I will now post a couple pictures one of my sisters and I and the other of the pillows.

Halloween over

Well the scary days are gone and we had a good turn out for treats. I live in the country and we had farm wagons pulled by tractors to take the neighborhood kids around to houses that wanted to  participate.  My great grandson came over and he had a grand time. There were two wagon loads counting the grown ups.
So after the trick or treating they went to the home of the family that had organized it and had some drinks and I think donuts. that was so nice and safer for all the kids, it was from 1-3 PM sunshine and all.
So I have been sewing again and trying to finish up a few more things. One is a baby quilt the pretty blue one and then the fall twister topper and last but far from the least is the Christmas hexagon star. I get to quilt them out starting tomorrow and have the baby quilt done first.  I am pleased with them all.
here is a couple pictures


I have more to do and then the ones I really want to make, I just want to get these 3 quilted and bound for now. I have a pattern by Sandy Gervais named "Done" that I want to make and have hanging on my wall for the holidays too. My gift boxes quilt top should be back her in a week or so. Then it is time to make the binding and add it to that pretty thing!That one will hang in our front hallway as we enter the house.
Next week I put the pumpkin wall quilt up until Thanksgiving is over.What is you favorite quilt to hang? Thanks for coming by and seeing me again today. I love company
