October OMG finished!

October was a very successful sewing month for me as is usually the case. I just seem to finish up a lot of overdue projects. I finished 25 projects this month!
My OMG goal was to finish Strip Lash, which I was able to do before attending Gudrun's class at the retreat.

I finished up the 4 blocks for FGV quilt along. I now have two more to work on. I'm loving this sew along because it is slow paced and I can sew other stuff too.

I finished the 6th block for Gudrun's Dangerous BOM. I love this mystery!

I finished up two All Bottled Up bags for gifts.

I finished two purple Charm baskets. I have another 4 cut out! These will just not go away.

I finished the Peek A Boo table runner for a class I plan to teach in January. I have two more cut out to show it in different styles.

Eight hours of testing this month gave me time to work on my EPP. I got 4.5 rows sewn together. Progress! This hand piecing project is going on 6 years.

Yesterday I was able to quilt at dad's. I got Giant Starburst quilted.

I quilted Strip Burst and bound it last night for another finish.

I quilted Strip to be Square and bound it last night.


The best part of the month was taking a class at a retreat with Gudrun Erla of GE Designs. She was one of my "bucket list" teachers I'd wanted to take a class from. I loved every minute of it!





















The kids are loving the beautiful fall weather, so we take lots of pictures before school. Although for the next week it will be dark every morning when we leave at 7:20!
