Time Hurries On

I can hardly believe it is November!  More wins for my Sparrow Quilt.

My son, Andrew, and I attended the CT Fair Association 2021 Banquet Dinner.  It used to be a small homey affair but this year was held at a hotel and pretty fancy.

My Sparrow quilt qualified for state level judging and I won First Place.  Sadly there were only two quilts in my category instead of the usual 6 or so.   As an unexpected bonus I also won People's Choice, which is voted on at the banquet.  Can you tell I was chuffed?

My daughter, Hanna, has been staying with us for 2 weeks while her fiance', David, is attending the Global Climate Summit in Glasgow. 

After two long years, we finally returned to Mohegan Sun Casino for a ladies night out.

We like to play the penny slots for fun.  No table games for us.

We both won pretty big!  We were laughing and cheering so much a man came running over to see what we won.  Hey $80. is A BIG WIN for us. 

It helps pay for this at Michael Jordan's Pub.

and this at Tao' an Asian Restaurant that is new to the casino.  Yum.

We had a wonderful family picnic lunch on the patio with this fabulous Charcuterie board that my kids arranged.

The weather was perfect for a little fire and time outside.   It felt like a mini getaway.  Can you spy my little whale pick holder ?

Not much.  I've been working on settling contracts and getting my calendar pulled together for 2022.  

I'm joining in a mystery medallion project with my Brownstone Quilt Guild of NJ.  I've finally settled on a theme.   Btw, I cut all these out wrong but will make them work. More on that later.

The center will be a mid-century styled clock face something like this.  Can you guess what time it will be???

On instagram in November I'm sharing little quilt gifts that I have received over the years.  Here are a couple so far and you'll find more details on IG.
