Ferrari Farm’s Pumpkin Patch ~ Reno, Nevada ~ 2014

Winter Solstice Crossroads Quilt (and mini pinwheels) ~ Kate Spain fabric
About a month ago, CRAFTSY had Kate Spain’s Solstice layer cakes on sale so I bought one. Then I saw Lori’s scrappy crossroads tutorial. Winter Crossroads was born ~
Early morning piecing with a chai latte.
One block of the Crossroads pattern.
Quilt top finished!
Binding the quilt listening to my SF Giants beat the Nationals. 🙂
All bound!
Finished Winter Crossroads quilt using Kate Spain’s Solstice.
I had enough triangle snippets from Crossroads to make a Mini Winter Pinwheel quilt!

Rancho San Rafael Park on an Autumn day
My sister, her boss, and myself walked around Rancho San Rafael Park at lunch time yesterday. A lot of the trees have turned already (few oaks holding out), but there were lots to see.
Making Grape Juice for Jelly
My friend, Reva, texted me saying she has “a butt load of grapes” that she picked and asked if I’d like them. ROFL! But of course!
I would say there was about 5 quarts of grapes, once I picked them off the stems. When I left this morning for work I had 2.5 quarts of juice and it was still draining…so I may have another pint.

Two quarts of juice (as of last night). Had a pint this morning, and it’s still draining when I left.
