Fall is here!  Last month I promised that I'd be doing a lot more sewing in September, and that proved to be true.  I started three new projects, but two of them are small and won't be on my WIP list for long (it really helps that they have October deadlines).  We already had our first frost so I foresee lots of cozy days by my sewing machine in my future! Quilt Tally WIP List at beginning of month: 11 WIP List at end of month: 14 Untouched in 2022: 5 Active QAL Projects: 3 Quilts Finished Meeple Colorblock Quilt (May 2022) Quilts Started Sew Place Like Home: A Wizard of OZ QAL .  I loved the cute Dorothy preview block, but this QAL really grabbed my attention because of the promise of a "narrative border" - I love the idea of making tons of tiny-themed blocks ( Trinket is still one of my favorite projects!).  I bought the background fabric, but the rest of my quilt is going to be scrappy from my stash and focus mainly on solids, with...

To celebrate the Meeple quilt's journey through local Carcassonne-inspired places, the pattern is 50% off all week long (ends 10/2/22), no coupon code needed!  If you are new...
