More Trick or Treat Baskets

First of all, I want to thank all of you for your kind comments on my last post.  I am feeling much better each and every day.  I really appreciate your concern.

I haven't felt like doing much machine sewing, so I've been stitching on a few more Trick or Treat Baskets from the book When the Cold Wind Blows by Barb Adams and Alma Allen.
 


The original quilt from the book has 300 of these baskets.  I haven't counted how many I have, but I don't think I'm even close to 100 yet. 


Jeanette, one of the gals that comes to our Dear Jane retreat has finished her basket quilt, and you can see it here on the Blackbird Designs blog.  I just love looking at these basket quilts, and hers is gorgeous. 


Here is what fall looks like in my back yard.  I love walking around the yard and listening to the crunch of the leaves.  This is my favorite time of year.

This is my Granny Stripe Afghan that I'm doing as part of the Granny Gone Wild Crochet Along.



You can read more about the crochet along and this pattern on my crochet blog

You can see photos of the crochet along on the Flickr site here

 Hope all of you are finding some time to stitch or crochet or knit today. 

Thanks for stopping by!!

  3. Hi LuAnn,
    glad to hear that everything is well with you.
    You have been busy making these baskets and crocheting also. I like the bright colours you are using for your afghan.
    And the colour of the leaves in your backyard it very very pretty also.

    Fall in your backyard is gorgeous!! I don't think I would ever come in to sew--I'd just sit and bask!

  10. Cute basket blocks - bright and cheery!
    Such gorgeous color. We've had such wacky weather that our leaves aren't as bright this year.
    Glad you are on the mend.

  11. Lovely ... The baskets, trees, and afghan. I have crocheted in a while but it would be nice to make something if I could just fit it in with everything else I want to do.
