Oct. happenings

It's been a month since I last posted.  I have been working with my string blocks.  Made a couple of tops for baby quilts, just finishing the binding on

a girl quilt and ready to start quilting the boy quilt.  I would have been done a week ago if I hadn't screwed up the binding by trying to do it all by machine.  Have removed the messed up binding and attached new binding this morning and will stitch it down by hand.  Sometimes the hard way is still better.  I will post a photo when it's all done and ready to put away until needed.

I am going to go back outside and just enjoy this beautiful day.  A day like this at the end of Oct. is a bonus day IMHO. 

George's bp has been elevated the last couple of weeks and I'm thinking it's the cold meat sandwiches we've been eating.  I usually make our lunch from leftover roasts or chicken but decided to just buy some cold cuts.  Too much salt for him.  So today it'll be a salad and rolls.

Two of William's huge pumpkins, weighed in over 600 lbs.  He's aiming for 1000 lbs. for next year.
