Let Us Do A Little Catch Up

This little darling boy, Buddy, is taking up a LOT of my time. Think 2 year old boy child into everything and everything goes to his mouth and you have a pretty clear picture of life with this new addition to Muddle Land! But I do so love him. And it's a good thing for him that I do!

I know that we are near the last of this year's gardening season, but it is just so beautiful right now you'd never think it will all be gone soon. So, I will enjoy it now!
Those are mustard greens in the upper right. I grow them for the chickens. They love them, and so do I! Mr. Muddling? - not at all. 
 
 

I recently finished this one for a lady at our church who suffered a major stroke.  She told me this bright yellow is her favorite color. I backed it with a soft flannel. I truly hope this bright colorful quilt will bring her joy and healing. 
 
I was intrigued with this small quilt I saw in Martingale's (Oh, how I miss them!) 
Big Book of Civil War Quilts. This one is a small quilt design by Carol Hopkins. It is called Hard Crackers! I love it. I'm going to try making a lap size quilt by making these blocks larger. We'll see how that goes.
 
In the meantime I've been working on this framed four patch + nine patch. 
 
This is my friend Terri, whose favorite color is purple. She looks happy with her new quilt, doesn't she!
What a sweet person she is.
 
I think this brings us up to speed together. I'm sorry I let myself get so far behind sometimes. I am really impressed with people like Wanda who blog every day. 
 
Until next time, I wish you the very best. I pray you are well and happy and that you are finding lots to do to help yourself and others!
 
Hugs and kisses,
Elaine
