I mentioned on our vacation recap that I came home to some pretty cool mail!
First was my package from the Hanging Hoop Wall Pocket Swap. It came all the way from Wendy in the Netherlands! She used some of my favorite fabrics, Echino, and paired it up with sweet little details like this beautiful mustard lace. It fits so perfectly in my sewing room!
She also included some pretty awesome goodies. Thanks Wendy!
The next was this incredible block from my friend Amy at During Quiet Time. Can you believe this?

Amy got her inspiration from a vintage ski poster. It's amazing really, and I'm still marveling at how she pieced it.

You can see her post about it here.
She made it for me as part of the Cocorico Bee. The theme for my month is "Let's Hit the Slopes." I'm excited to get blocks that will fit a winter and ski theme. Seriously, check out what the other members are doing in the group!
We finally got our first snowfall this morning. It's not the 10 inches that you're getting in the Northeast US, but I'll take it. I spent the early morning hours finishing up the binding for the quilt that I'll be posting for Blogger's Quilt Festival. Check back later for the details!
Have a great Sunday! Oh, and Happy Halloween!

Great picture of your family!
good looking faimly and the pumpkins are cute too!
Happy Halloween to you too! I am hoping that the power is back so that they don't cancel trick or treat. I am not sure if I would be more disappointed or if the kids would be!
I am so glad you like your block. It was a serious challenge but a thrill to finish.
