I'm giving out bags of caramel/cheese popcorn. Our Rotary Club sold it as a fundraiser and I bought three cases of 24 4-ounce bags. Rather than re-selling it (which other club members have done) I'm giving it away. Whatever is left will be part of the snacks for the Zion Woman's Club Bunco night in two weeks. (That is, if I can refrain from any more snacking.)

But I did get other projects completed.
Here's the lap quilt made from the leftover Carolina Chain units. Quilted and bound! (See Wednesday's post for the big Carolina Chain.)
The quilting design is holly and sort-of-ornaments.
This is the AAUW holiday raffle prize.

Linking up with Finished or Not Friday Off the Wall Friday OMG @ Stories from the Sewing Room
I love the comment sew faster. I agree...although I am a really slow sewer. Hum, your Carolina Chain block is the same block I used in my October finish quilt. I had no clue what its name was. You keep getting quilts finished even though you were out of town for a while. You did a great job bringing fabric in this month! I'm doing fabric ins and outs on a quarterly basis. Hopefully the end of the year will see a lot more quilts done. Bonnie in Va. Brsinstitches@gmail . com.
ReplyDeleteWell done with all your progress. The quilts look great and your quilter is FAST! I think I'd like getting a savory treat for Halloween along with all the sugar. Good luck with your goals for November. If you figure out how to sew faster, please share! I am so slowwwww.
ReplyDeleteHaha, sew faster! I wish I could sew as fast as you do right now. Always amazed to see how many finished quilts you have in a month. Happy Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteLove the Carolina Chain lap quilt! That's a neat layout! The Christmas braid is very pretty and quiling is a nice extra touch! Did you get a lot of trick or treaters? We only have two young uns in our neighborhood anymore. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHope you got lots of trick-or-treaters, Nann! I love your Carolina Chain leftovers quilt top - great way to use up those blocks. The Christmas Braid turned out great! Good luck with your November goals.
