Our historic village is the perfect backdrop for October photos.
A couple of day trips within the state gave me some more fall photos.
One to the winemaking capital of Missouri, Hermann, a community settled by German immigrants in the 19th century.
And one to the winery at Rocheport on the Missouri River for my birthday dinner.
I have been doing some sewing. A neighbor asked me to make her granddaughter a quilt for her Christmas present. That is what 9 y/o Briley had requested. How can you say no to that? I really have never wanted to do commission quilts. I think it is very hard to communicate what you envision to someone who does not sew or make quilts. My mind thinks in block designs and most non-quilters think in color, I believe. I pulled several color collections from my stash and had Briley come over to the house. She chose this blue and yellow combination in a churn dash patterned quilt. The problem is the completed quilt she was looking at had a yellow background with floral churn dashes, Liberty of London florals. This quilt will look nothing like that quilt, so I hope Grandma and Briley will like it for its own sake.
I forgot to post anything about my Early Works Mercantilehttp://earlywork-oldtrailprimitives.blogspot.com offerings on the 15th, so will show pics of those, as well.

That's about all of the sewing I've accomplished since my last post. There was a guild quilt show in October, though. Maybe next time!
