I Like Thursday #110 ~ Happy October!

Welcome to "I Like Thursday" on Friday.

Better a day late than a week wait. 

I am posting my Bats & Boos Quilt one last time because I am participating in the 

WIPS -B Gone 2021 Challenge @ Devoted Quilter

Details in the link above.

This quilt arrived in its new home yesterday and my daughter sent me a few photos.

I decided to post the one of my grand-pup, Sierra, who loves my quilts.

Sierra is looking older and grayer around her face.

Sierra with her soulful eyes looks to be saying, 

"My turn on the Grammy quilt, please." 

We have not visited my daughter since pre-pandemic.  

There were plans to make the journey to Indiana this month but for reasons I shall not explain, this plan has fallen by the side of the road.  Perhaps next spring we may be able to travel and see My Girl and her little family again.  In the meantime I send my love with my quilts. I make quilts for dogs and children and cats to love.  There will be spills and drools and scratches and someday the fabrics and threads will give up the ghost but the love shall live forever.

On a happier note, I was able to get together with three of my oldest and best friends for lunch yesterday,

 all of whom I had also not seen since pre-pandemic days.

We are, left to right, me, Sue, Elaine and Helen.

I have known Sue since I was in high school. 

We met at Helen's home.

It was good to sit and nosh and chat again.

We are hoping to make our lunch buddies thing more regular again. 

Happy October to all my readers!

I am glad to live in a world with Octobers and friends and quilts.

Fabulous Freebie Find for October:

This free October Halloween Stitch Along @ Pine Needles

... is a daily download from Pine Needles.

I have floss and aida cloth. 

I am saving the steps right now and trying to decide 

if I should even think about starting a new project.

Have a Happy Thursday!
