| Starting inherited pieced quilt #3 . |
Guess with the cooler weather and the leaves turning I have the "bug" to sew. No sooner than I had the second quilt finished and on the bed to admire than the tape measure was in hand measuring number three for backing, 6 1/2' by 7 1/2'. Again, this was pieced by three generations of my late first husband's family and recently given to me.
This morning I caught up all of the mending as Brian was off on errands, rolled out pie pastry for a cherry pie, and mixed up the filling from the cherries the Saltzman's shared with us. (I sure wish I had thought of making the cherry pie filling and freezing it in foil and plastic lined pie plates as I have done with the peaches and apples!)

I love making the French Pie Pastry in the food processor. It is the best ever, fast, and the dough handles beautifully. I keep 2 sticks of butter dices up in the freezer just to make it up anytime! Here are the links to my new favorite pastry and for making a fresh cherry pie. I hope you are fortunate enough to make one real soon!

| Four names with dates of birth are embroidered in one corner of this hand pieced quilt top. |
At any rate I traced the names and have started embroidering them onto a corner of the "new" quilt top this morning. This is fun too! It will keep my occupied until I get to town to purchase fabric for the backing and a spool of yellow quilting thread I need to repair a quilt Brian's Grandma Ruby made.
It is good I am so easily entertained!
Monday Morning: It was a lovely weekend and I managed to finish the embroidery as well as have a family dinner and a lot of fun. I expect it may take me months to do this particular quilt as I plan to hand quilt it. There are several other projects I plan to sprinkle in as I go to keep things interesting.

That is a beautiful quilt, in the traditional style I love. And the cherry pie: it's crust looks just right and crispy, the way I like it, so I will give it a try. I think I need to make another apple pie while it's still autumn.
