Lovely Colors

It's a brisk 55 degrees here today.  Oh how I love this weather!  The sun is shining brightly and the leaves are turning a riot of colors.  I took the opportunity to snap a shot of the quilt top I finished yesterday.  It is the Water Lily pattern from Sherri McConnell's book, "A Quilting Life".  I am in love with this quilt and Sherri's book!  The pattern is straight forward and fun to piece.  I love how the fabric combinations make up a great secondary pattern and the watercolor feeling it gives.  I used Jennifer Paganelli's "Circa" which was dreamy to work with.  While I was outside I took some photos of the flowers that are hanging on.  Soon the frost will take them away but I can enjoy them a little while longer.  Today we celebrate Maddie's 19th birthday.  This picture was taken last year on her 18th birthday which also was the day we took senior pictures.  She is a freshmen in college now and I'm heading out the door to take her some cupcakes.  Sweet blessings, friends!

Hugs,
