Busy October

This has been a busy past October.  The girls went to the pumpkin patch early October where they: ran around a corn maze, looked at farm animals, played on the playground and picked out pumpkins to carve. 



 With all the leaves still on the ground, and no snow yet.  The girls have had a lot of fun jumping in piles of leaves. 

Of course we cannot forget trick or treating.  Daddy skipped his class so he could be with them.  It was Naomi's first time. She liked getting candy, but really didn't understand why all these people she didn't know were giving it to her.  And honestly, Halloween is an odd holiday.  Allyson was a clown and Naomi wan owl.

Here are all of Mommy's projects that she finished in October.
 This is a practice quilt I made to cover up our breaker box. I bought the pattern and wanted to make a small one to see if I really wanted to make a twin size one for Naomi. So maybe in a few months I'll have the quilt top done of a Twin size one for Naomi. The pattern is called Painted Ladies by Fig Tree & Co.
 This is a pillow I made for a Christmas present for someone. They don't know it  yet though.  It is the first time I have used hexagons.  Not as hard as I thought, but I didn't get all my points to meet either. I'll probably make another one, since I still have enough hexagons from the same fabrics to make another.

 This is the front of a baby quilt I made. I saw the pattern on Pinterest, but it was for a twin size quilt, and it had the same amount of blocks, so they were pretty big.  So I just did the math and made my own pattern. I made it with scraps from my Etsy shop. After I finished the quilt top, a nephew was born. So I put his name on the back.
