Down to the barn

It was a nice evening.  I grabbed my camera to take pictures of the dogs.  I think they know when I have the camera in my hands.  I shot about 30+ shots with blurry movements - now why can't they stay still for just a moment for me?  Maybe it is me not holding steady, wait you mean I should stand still to take their pictures.  I did get two pictures, not really very good, but I deleted the rest. 

Dixie, Derin and Bobby in the background.   I cut off Derin's head - sorry honey, I'm still learning (that's my excuse and sticking with it.  Bobby on the right.





Pear tree on the left is just about ready to be picked,   The apple tree is almost ready too.





Look.  It's Tucker.  He's my big pretty boy.  He doesn't mind as much about having his picture taken.  Already in early October he is starting to "hair-up"  for the winter.  He'll be a fuzzy guy soon.





Behind Tucker you can see our neighbors house.

Show and Tell - October

These are pictures from the Bernina Software Club that I teach at Bernina Northwest in Seattle.

Free standing lace.



Maxine E. made the embossed towels on the right as a gift. 

Kathy C. made these five pretty tablerunners.  The Halloween tablerunner is so much fun! 

The batiks are really pretty too!.

Kathy C. used fall colors here.

Dorothy T. brought in these beautiful Christmas wall hangings that she made as gifts.  She did one set in blue and one in red.  We made these several years ago in Software and Embroidery Club learning about multi-hooping and applique.

This neat quilt is all made of small 2 1/2" squares, even the border!  I wish I had gotten better pictures so you could see the lineal quilting done with stitch #17.

Berta B. brought in this beautiful wall hanging/table runner she got as a gift.

Pat H. made the pretty floral quilt on the left.


Virginia S. made these beautiful  quilts on the right and below.

Maxine E. made this cute gecko wall hanging from Software Sampler this year.

mmmm . . . Pickled Onions

Derin took some of the smaller onions from the garden and made a batch of pickled onions, red pepper and garlic.    He likes this kind of stuff, I don’t really like to eat it – so it is all for him.
