November 11th: Veterans Day - a day to honor the soldiers who have served our country in war and peace. I so appreciate those who have served in the military, and reflect on the vanishing number of World War II vets still alive. As I age, I have a greater appreciation of the preciousness of life, its beauty, its fragility, and the importance of our veterans and their service to the United States of America.
This week I put the binding on a baby quilt. Feels good to have another quilt completed. It is for a charity, and I won't know who will use it, but I'm sure a baby will look great on this patriotic quilt.
I made it quite a while ago, and am glad it is finished and will soon be on its way to a useful life. Here is the quilt in whole, with a Broken Dishes pattern:
And a picture of the back, so you can see the wonky stars that my long arm quilter sewed into it:
Lastly, I leave you with Sunday's baking: Deep dish apple pie:

It is 34 in. x 41 in. and is made of 3 inch hsts. Here's a closeup of the triangles:
It tasted great, and I tried a new kind of apple - but don't remember the name of the variety......one of the joys of being 76 years old. We live very near an orchard, and I am enjoying the many different varieties that are grown here in Michigan.
What is on your design wall today? Please show all of us and we will have fun admiring your quilt. Please link back to this particular post from somewhere within your blog post. I appreciate it.
