Hello,
The weather has been amazing here in central NY. I helped with the park cleanup on Sat and was in my tee shirt most of the time. We pulled lots of grape vines out of the trees and trimmed out dead wood from around bushes. Then on Sunday I went down to 
Buttermilk Falls and walked the rim trail with my grandson. That was very tiring and I learned later that the climb along the river was equilivant to climbing 24 flights of stairs . No wonder I got a little winded. It was very enjoyable though.
I had two Zoom meetings this week. The Pixies and the QuEGs. Always good to catch up with folks and share.
The Joyous Embroidery class is going well too. I did make paper clay bits to attach later to my Tide Pool work. They are still too wet to paint, but tomorrow they may be ready for that step.
Progress Report: Lap # 15 This quilt was completed on Monday and I sent it off to Mike yesterday. I only had a strip 24″ long left over form this project.
Lap #16 After I had finished my last lap quilt I got busy on a new one. Only need to add in these last four units together and this top will be done too.
Basket This project is all done and already function as a collection are for some smaller stuff.
Drawing Susan has sent us off on another little challenge. She is asking us to write a bit about a food memory and illustrate it. I have vivid memories of Mom making popcorn on Sunday evenings that we ate while we watched TV.
Puppets I am making paper puppets as a part of center pieces for Social Art . These figures are going to be put on sticks. They represent the 9 animal symbols of the Tribes of the Onondaga Nation. I have yet to draw the Eagle and then I will be done.
Nine Play In that between time of sleep and full wakefulness, I had an idea for a new quilt. These are the colors I am going to play with.
Blue Sea I made new seahorses and added them the to surface this week . Now sure how I want to finish it so it is waiting.
Enjoy the fall.
Carol
