Thinking Fallish Thoughts
Friday, October 26, 2012 at 11:04PM Today was the first day that I felt like fall had truly arrived. There have been days in the last month or so which have greeted us with a sharp, cold, brisk slap as we stepped out the front door to go to the car. By the middle of the morning, though, it has always warmed up and jackets or fleeces haven't been necessary by the afternoon.
This morning when I opened the door, the air pinched my nose before I even stepped outside. It's even colder tonight. I was walking down the hallway upstairs and the floors felt icy to me. I was wearing socks, and it's carpeted. This reminds me of the first winter we were in this house. I could never warm my feet!
All this chilly fallness has me thinking. There are so many things that I want to accomplish and maybe this fall will be a good time to work on some of them. The first thing that comes to mind is the quilt I started for Michaela years (and years and years) ago. I would love to get that finished! It would be so much fun to give that to her for Christmas (or maybe around Christmastime), or even her birthday.
The more I think about it, the more I want to do it! I feel this urgency to do it now. Before she gets too much older. Before she doesn't want it anymore. Before she thinks that I never intend to finish it.
Do you think I need to actually learn how to quilt before I break out my Quilter's Wonder? Probably...

Nah . . . I think you can handle the quilt! :)
I hope you get it done : )
She will love it so much.
You can totally do the quilt. Remember when you did all those squares for Christian's class? One quilt will be easy-peasy compared to that.
Ha! That is something that my mother does but that I never learned from her. You'll have to take a picture of the finished product so we can see your handiwork.
