Octoberfest

I am loathe to move on to November without mentioning October.  Our October was not the typical Ocktoberfest with which you are familiar.  It was a work fest.  (Do work and  fest belong in the same sentence?)
The biggest thing we did in October was finish the book!  Hooray!  It is now on sale at Amazon, and at Dad's website:  www.emptysaddles.com.

Then, because I discovered an old suitcase of quilt blocks from Grandma Howe, I re-cut them and used them for the 3 quilts I made: one for Fallon for her birthday, and one for Gabe and one for Sammy, because the boys each asked for a quilt when they were here this summer.

 And when I finished all that sewing, I whipped up a couple of skirts for Fallon, and one for Audrey--re-using one of Rachel's dresses--I saved a few from her childhood and decided to cut them down into skirts.

I sent Fallie's skirts to her before taking a picture of them.  Along with some fun clothes I found at Goodwill that were barely worn.  She has quite a wardrobe now, I am happy to say.
I had a lot of fun in October!
