Mountain Musings

Hello Everyone,

Here is the latest fabric which I received from Henry Glass & Co.  The line is called On the 12th Day by Anni Downs from Hatched and Patched.  The line comes with a panel that makes into a 12 Days of Christmas book.  I'm not going to make the book, but I haven't decided just what I'm going to do with it yet.  I've been so focused on my Christmas Ribbons quilt, that I haven't had time to focus on this line.

Yesterday I loaded Bountiful Blessing on my long arm and started in.  The quilt measures 40" x 40", so it shouldn't take me too long to quilt it.  What I realized is that I need to practice more on my long arm.  I felt a little rusty yesterday when I took hold of the handlebars.  I haven't touched the machine since January.  This fabric line is called "Autumn is Calling" by Color Principle for Henry Glass.

It's a cold, rainy day here in the mountains.  This rain is great for fire season, so I'm not going to complain one little bit.  We will probably have the fire going, and just stay inside for most of the day.  Yippee.....I don't have to rake pine needles!

Soon,
Lynn

Autumn is Calling

Hello Everyone,

I'm putting on my Madam Ambassador hat for Henry Glass & Co. for the next few weeks.  My fabric shipment arrived a month early. since life it a little upside down right now, and all shipping schedules have been thrown out of whack.

This gorgeous fabric, "Autumn is Calling" by Color Principle for Henry Glass & Co. was is the shipment.  Yesterday I sat down and designed and made a couple of leaf blocks.  I LOVE them!  They look a little bit lacey and are very leafy.

Feast your eyes on this fabric palette!  It is so rich and luscious.

The line comes with three panels too.

I haven't decided exactly what I'm going to do, but I drew out one design already.  I know it's going to have leaves.....that's a given.

I'll be switching gears this week as I stop to make masks for our entire family.  They are going to be their Easter presents.

Mr. Joe has been baking again.  This time he made sourdough Babka.  It was delicious.  He made sourdough pancakes yesterday for breakfast.  I've had so much sourdough lately that I may turn into an old gold miner since sourdough bread was a staple during the 1849 California Gold Rush.

I hope you are all staying home and practice social distancing when you are outside.  We won't be going outside today since we are in the grip of a major winter storm.  It is supposed to rain all day and snow all night.  We've got our firewood at the ready on our front porch so we don't have to venture out too far.  However, Mazey still has to go out occasionally.  Friday night, during last potty call for the day, Mazey and Mr. Joe beat a hasty retreat back into the house when they both heard a bear growling.  That growl got both of their hearts pumping a little faster!  I didn't know Mr. Joe could move so fast.

Soon,
Madam Ambassador
