On Thursday it went from 80 degrees to 50 degrees in a matter of two hours. Yesterday we had a whopping high of 42. Friday was frigid.
About four days of fall is all we had here in Colorado, and yesterday the first spitting of snow. I miss fall-- real fall. Fall like back East, with more colors than just evergreen and yellow.
I pretty much spent the entire day at the sewing machine.
As a warm up, I did a little towel decorating. I'm not a huge fan of most dish towels that have those printed designs. But when I buy the plain ones and bring them home, I inevitably decorate them myself.
I felt thoroughly inspired by fall-- I suppose due to the lack of it-- and spent a good chunk of time making a fall inspired tote. It's almost done. I used the quilt-as-you-go (QAYG) method, which I had never done before. It was tons of fun to put together. Maybe today I will get it finished up.

I made a bit more progress on the feathers. I cut off and flipped one of them, and added the side strip to bring the pillow front to full size.
It's ready for a little hand stitching, and then to have the pillow back and binding put on.
All in all, while it may have been cold, it was a really good Friday. We finished off the day by going to a library book sale. We walked away with a plethora of new (to us) books for a mere $12. Not bad at all.
Hope you all have a wonderful, and warm, weekend.
