I can’t wait to make up a few of these gorgeous Fabric Baskets as gifts this year. Scrappy, coordinated, they’ll be perfect. Thanks Ayumi for the great tutorial.

Have you made these baskets? I’d love to see your colour combinations. Please leave a comment.

Check out this absolutely gorgeous doll quilt that I won from Trisha at TLC Stitches. It’s truly beautiful! I’ve has found the perfect place for it in my bedroom. Thank you Trisha for such a wonderful gift.

Robyn from Daisy Quilts gave me a Wylde Woman Award for inspiration. She wrote: You inspire me for bringing our quilting world much closer. Thanks :c). Thank you Robyn for your very kind words and for thinking of me.

It’s been a good week! I have finished a quilt, just going to throw it in the wash to fluff it up. More tomorrow, it’s a gift!!

UPDATE: Trisha has a tutorial on using the X-Blocks ruler that she used when creating the quilt above.

Darlene from Bee Sew Whimsical is hosting a Secret Santa Honeypot Swap. You’ll be making a Christmas card and at least one ornament (or a mini wall hanging) for your secret Santa friend. Sign up before the end of October.

For some unknown reason, I’m really into Fall and Christmas (already!) this year. Usually I find myself depressed as the weather turns cold and the nights get shorter.

No doubt it’s all the wonderful fabrics and projects I see being talked about on other quilting blogs that has lifted my spirits. I’ve also been watching this one tree down the street that has turned into a gorgeous orange this week.

Next week I’ll be announcing a new photo contest. I have three fabulous donations as prizes. More soon!

The Quilting Gallery has been nominated for the 2008 Blogger’s Choice Awards in the Best Hobby Blog category.  Please vote for me.

Thanks!!
