Almost Halloween!!

Yikes!  Its almost Halloween and I haven't blogged FOR EVER!!!  I was doing a little blog surfing today and was reading a friend's.  Sally has such a nice blog Less is More.  She has sweet pictures, recipes and pix of all her projects.  I asked myself, "What's my excuse?"  So, I'm going to work at this, again... (I know, I always say this.)

Lauren was home from Beloit College last week. She is doing well and really seems to enjoy Beloit.  It was fun having her home, but I'm so relieved that things are going so well for her!!  I sure miss her...

I managed to get the Halloween decorations up before Lauren arrived. I made a really cute little quilt and it is hanging in the living room.  Its not very big, but looks sweet.  I also hung a cute door hanger from Patrick Lose Poster Quilts. The one on the left is on my door.  The witch is hanging at Capitol View Elementary School in Des Moines.

I also made a little 12" quilt from Patrick Lose in Quilting Celebrations magazine'

 

My brother was here today for a monthly doctor appt.  He is doing remarkably well since his heart transplant!  I am so happy for him.  So many things could have gone terribly wrong, but he is a great patient and has followed instructions well and I believe that's part of the reason for his success.  That and alot of prayer and support from family and friends!

These are the wonderful folks who have saved David's life.  (except for the sleeping baby!)
