October is almost over

I'm really trying to keep up to date with some quilting
bees that I joined, but having a hard go of it.  Here is Oct.
the 7th block and its up to date.

Here is the heart and soul Sept. block but I still need to finish
or should I say start Aug and Oct blocks.
 
The Dresden plate blocks are behind as well I need to get to
Sept and Oct.
 
Oh but I did get 4 quilts sent to the quilter about 3 weeks ago and
have 2 back and will pick up the other 2 on Friday. These are
all Christmas gifts so I'm trying to get a lot of binding done.
 
Here is the 1st quilt finished.
These are bad photos but the best I could get.
This is my grandsons quilt and it turned out so cute.
The quilter used 123 ABC with stars in the quilting in a
variegated orange, green and yellow. I also made a pillow
case and a soft story book that was made using a panel that
matched the main fabric. I used the striped fabric from the
front as the binding, it's all washed an ready to be wrapped.
 
So 1 quilt down and 3 more to go.
 
For my daughter in law I'm making place mats and table runner.
Here are the place mats, I just need to quilt the runner and bind
it and they will be ready to wrap.
I hope to get better photo when I get the runner done.
I'm doing the quilting myself on these.
 
Have a safe and  Happy Halloween!
