A bowl full of gold and November's goal for ALYoF...

...yes this is a bowl full of gold!!

I was on the look out for some vintage feed sacks...

while vacationing in French Lick Indiana...

some I got a deal on and a few must be stitched with a thread or two of gold.

One of the feed sacks was still stitched as a sack.

They are getting harder to find...and the price reflects that.

Now for my November goal for ALYoF

hosted by Melissa and Shanna

I have many projects I would love to finish...

some more pressing than others...so...

I've decided to complete the quilt top for my

entry into the 2015 Road to California Quilt Show's

I Love to Embroider exhibit.

I've gathered some fabrics from my stash

and the nine embroidered blocks are stitched and squared.

Next step is to decide on a design.

I hope some inspiration comes to me soon!

The cat print will likely be my outer border, if there is a border

or it will be the backing.

It has different shades of browns, golds, greys and creams

and there is black!!

There is a FQ of green in there...not sure about that one.

Maybe when I decide on the design it will 'come to me'...

it may need a spash of red!

I've joined the goal setting party at Shanna's Fiber of All Sorts blog

and at Melissa's BitterSweet Designs blog.

Happy stitching

October's goal for ALYoF is a finish...

I bound the quilt while vacationing in French Link Indiana.
(just got home a few hours ago)

We snapped a few pictures while touring

the area.

This picture was taken in front of an antique shop

in Worthington Indiana.

Unfortunately it was closed, one of many shops that were closed.

This picture was taken at the train station in

Jasper Indiana.

I'm linking up to October's ALYoF party with Melissa and Shanna

and to
finish it up Friday with crazy mom quilts
