After all my travels, my promise to myself was to sew over the four day Thanksgiving weekend. And I did. It was wonderful. Trust that everyone who was celebrating Thanksgiving had an equally enjoyable time.
I was able to quilt and finish another quilt for our Guild's
Comfort Quilt project.
Then I was able to finish the binding on a quilt that
Val Schultz had done an awesome job of quilting for me. I have another quilt back from Val that I hope to finish in the next few days.

I also started working on turning those
two photos I wrote about earlier this month into art quilts. For both I am using
Mistyfuse for part of my fusing so these are both experimental pieces for me.
I made good progress on the leaf picture. Pieced together a background and started shaping some trees with Mistyfuse.

I also drew some leaves that I will eventually fuse to the piece in fall color fabrics. I created a 'map' of the leaves and cut out freezer paper for each leaf (and numbered them). I will play with different colors for the various leaves before I fuse them to the background.

And I fused the petals on the clematis art quilt.
Life will get a little hectic again for the next two weeks but I hope to have both art quilts done by the end of the year.
Pretty good project line up. Thanks for sharing.
