Earlier today I was thinking I would just whip up something really quick to get in under the September 30 deadline for this months present. Two hours ago I was thinking …I’m not going to have time to make anything not to mention I didn’t even have an idea :-( !!! Think, think, think. Then it hit me. My friend Jan had made me the most wonderful journal for Xmas last year…. it had a paper type cover, and she stitched some wonderful patches on it. A few months back I had found the same journals and put them away. So about an 
hour ago, I Heat n Bonded, and did a simple stitch…added some stickers and tada …two presents done!!! Whewwww, what a huge relief. Check over at Allie’s and see what others have done. I am quite sure they weren’t last minute Annie’s like me !!!!
Last Saturday was Quilts of Valor, and for a fund raiser we made chicken pincushions. These were
my test chickens…smile girls!!! A bit of a challenge for me but I did manage to get some done. Sadly I forgot to take their pictures.
At 
friendship group this week we got to see a finished Farmers Wife quilt….AMAZING!!!!! I just love those blocks. Think this will have to go in my “make it when life slows down file”!!!
Well that’s a wrap for me. I will be MIA for a bit, but there will lots of stories and pictures to share when I get back! Happy weekend everyone.

The journals are wonderful - great idea.
The Farmer's Wife quilt is not on my agenda (for now) :-)
Enjoy your time away.
You know, since you made it by midnight your time but not mine, you could always count that as October's gifts! I love the journals and what a great idea.
I will never, ever make a farmer's wife quilt - but I sure do love seeing it. *G* Your little chickens are cute! I hope you enjoy whatever you're up to, are you on vacation again? BEACH TIME? *jealous*
Those journals are so cute! And look at those fun chickens! LOVE the Farmer's Wife! ENJOY your week!
