This week with hurricane Milton headed this way--to us--on Wednesday!!!! It is gonna hit the west coast first then travel across the state--but remember this state is only--is only-- 361 miles across at the top of Florida--but from Tampa straight across to us--is only 113 miles--(but to get here by car it is 134 miles cause you have to go south--then back down north--crazy highway!!! So we will be getting alot of Milton by the looks of things--they are saying a Cat. 3 for sure--hummmm!!!! So hold on to your 'hats' and tie everything down---
Let me talk about quilting and stitching first--It is the only thing that is keeping me grounded these days--
My newest morning Cross stitching is coming along--
The pumpkin I am stitching on now--it has one very large pumpkin!!!!
I did get October's Woven Wreath all stitched--
I just can't believe there is only '2' more of these squares to embroider--just Nov and Dec--!!!
And yesterday I got the 4th and final 'truck' embroidery done--
I need to get out the other '3' and decide on how to stitch them all together??
I did get some blocks all put together this week--Last year's Mr Jack series--
Remember I added a couple other black cats to mine--this is already 48" long--and I did not add this block to it--
I am thinking I will use this block for a tote bag????
And I got this Country quilt all hand quilted and the binding sewn on it--
So now I am hand quilting on the Sunbonnet Sue Christmas one--
it will probably take me till Christmas to get all the hand quilting done on this one--
I also got this pink heart quilt all basted--
So it's in line to be hand quilted--
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For me it was another rough week--
Though I did get a phone call on Monday for a move date for within this building for Nov 6th--I am on the 3rd floor now--but will be moving to the second floor--the work men here will move all my furniture and everything that is boxed up--Soooo--I will be getting me some boxes and try to 'box' up everything for them to move it all!!! The day before the move this building is getting a big Inspection of some sort--Insurance or something--so all this week and Mon and Tues--the office staff is going door to door and doing some kind of inspection to get us ready--I will probably have mine Monday afternoon--They are taking a long time in each apartment--not sure what they are looking for--maybe 'gold'--hope if they find some --they will share it with me!!!!!
Oh My Oh My---my heart is broken for all the flooded folks in GA<NC<SC<VA>TN---soo soo many lives lost (count on the news is way way too low???) How can soooo many thousands, millon, people all rebuild or find housing--I know I 'whine' about here--and now I am ashamed of myself for doing that--so I am sorry--I am working on a box of quilts and some kids color books and story books to go to Carolina's --but not quite yet--especially with our own hurricane headed this way--but thinking about what to send helps me a little bit --feel better--!
DO YOU KNOW HOW FAST HALLOWEEN CHRISTMAS IS COMING--MY OH MY--IT WILL BE HERE TOMORROW AT THIS RATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BLESSINGS AND HUGS, DI

I'm guessing the inspection is from the building collapse Miami way a few years ago. New laws to check how things were constructed... since building laws were lax for a while. Buckle down for Milton. We never got things back out except the car cover.... so not much to take down. Glad you have your stitching to keep you occupied.
Stay safe with Milton on the way. All of your projects are so pretty. You have been very busy with needlework.
