Design Wall Monday - 11/9/15

Now hold on - I know what you are thinking... "Sarah, you looooooove color, so what are you thinking with this bland gray quilt??!!"

Well, this is stage one of my Jelly Roll Race. I've got my 36 strips sewn together. Tonight I'll press the top and pick border fabrics. I'm still debating if the borders should be more grays or a color. I'm kinda thinking color. Maybe even the same color as the applique I'll add in the next stage.







My original plan was based on this project that I pinned from The Evil Website.

HOWEVER...yesterday, while I was scrolling for cat silhouettes, I found this one to the right (be sure to check the link thru Pinterest as there are other fab cat silhouettes too). I think one cat could make such a statement. And, as with the borders, still deciding on the original black I had planned or a bright color? I'm thinking color...

This is humiliating!

Momma, I don't have time for a family photo!

Are they coming?

Maybe from this way? I think I see them!!

Is my costume on straight?

Ok, Momma, I'm ready to watch you give out candy!!!!!!

I think that's all of them, Momma, lets turn off the light and take a nap now. Puullleeeeeez!!

What costume did you wear for Halloween?

The Bibliophile Files - 11/3/15

Goodness how can it be November already?
And it's 70F this afternoon with it getting even warmer in the next few days before we slide back into the rainy chill of fall.

I hope you are still reading now that the weather is cooling...maybe you now have even more time to read! Due to a careless injury last week I wasn't able to walk very much or I think I would have gotten at least one more iPhone audiobook finished.

I finally hit the sidewalks again this morning, since Erin said that I needed to take advantage of the Indian Summer while I can, even if my leg hurts. I stopped at our polling place and was #12. Did you vote today?

FINISHED:
11th Hour - still waiting on the latest book in the series - apparently it's popular since I've been waiting a while.
The Run
Stay Close
Deeply Odd
Inferno
Deep South - I so love this series - each book takes place in a different National Park
Girl on the Train - Too much like Gone Girl. Some differences of course, but not enough for me to not think of GG the whole time.

IN PROGRESS:
Code Name Verity - This is a youth book but #1 in a short series - I'm looking forward to the other 2 books
Postcard Killers
Spartan Gold - Another new to me series by Patterson. What isn't there to like about Patterson books?

So, tell me!!! What did you read??
What novels, magazines, quilt books or cereal boxes did you read this month?
Oh, I need a book suggestion that starts with a "Y". Thanks!!
