There’s Activity
Put the sun in the sky with good temperatures and you will find activity on Stauffer Avenue.
Dennis and the Cub Lo-Boy were taking 60″ swats on the leaves in the far east portion of the acre. There are more leaves to fall but there is nothing like hitting it when inspiration teams with “Let’s get’r done!” If the snow stays away for a bit, I have no doubt that regardless of the temperatures, Dennis will be repeating his events of today.
I have been commissioned to do a stitch and sewing project that will be a Christmas present, or several Christmas presents. The gal on the receiving end of this is a very proficient quilter . . . that put the fear of God in me as to my skills. Her daughter had caught a Facebook post of mine with a particular design. Apparently the old barn with the quilt block featured in the gable of the barn would warm the receiver’s heart. At this point I was given a free hand on how to work on this. I am to keep a tab on costs of materials. I am using fabrics from my stashes with purchased fabric for the center of the stitching. As this plays out it may well be two sofa pillows and one table runner. Thus far two pillow tops are up for review. Each with a bit of difference. 
How did I ever get along without my Fairfax button tree! If the request had not come this early in the Christmas season, I would have not taken it on. It’s still October and my thoughts are pretty much nailed down as to how to proceed.
It is a soup and sandwich kind of supper. I cleared it with Dennis and he is up for it. It’s about time to close down the sewing studio. Tomorrow is another day. There has been enough activity for today.
