Life has been busy lately. I have spent over 60,000 miles in my SUV delivering injured wildlife to rehabilitators here in my state. I’ve even transported a juvenile Bobcat down to Best Friends wild animal sanctuary. A couple of weeks ago I took two small owls down to Hawks Aloft in Albuquerque, New Mexico, so that they could take them further south in their fall migration. Then a few days later, I transported a Russian mink to meet up with it’s new owner in Rock Springs, Wyoming. That was a fun trip too.

I’m now involved in a great quilting project called the Christmas Countdown from American Quilters Society. If you would like to join, check out their website at this link http://www.aqsblog.com/merry and join the fun! Here are the first two blocks that I posted late last night! 

Block 3 is out today! 

I’m off to finish block 3 and get it posted. I’m using several different reds and one white, a grunge white, that blends well with every fabric. I’m also finishing the handwork on our new Christmas tree skirt. I will post pictures of it later. Aurifil thread is being used for every project so far and I love it! The thread blends into the fabric and my points are easy to get since it is so thin and doesn’t add additional width to the seams. Try it, you just may like it!
