Brenda Godin sent me a photo of her Aunt Millie’s Garden—isn’t it lovely! I really like the way she handled the sashing, which is different from the pattern. Those little squares are perfectly colored and spaced, and they set off the blocks so well! Here’s what Brenda said in her email:
My passion is applique. I have made your Aunt Millie’s Garden. I did it with the red background and it hangs in my livingroom. It was accepted to the CQA show in 2014- that it the big show for us Canadians! You can see I love working with batiks!
Way to go, Brenda! Thank you for sharing your quilt!

Jane Rader sent me this photo of her lovely quilt, that she named Allison’s Flower Garden. The blocks are from two different Piece O’ Cake patterns: Stars in the Garden, the borders are from Aunt Millie’s Garden
I got to see this quilt in process in one (or two) of my Empty Spools classes. Thank you, Jane, for sharing the finished photo with us!

October 24 was Unity Day. I didn’t remember that there was a Unity Day until I read the funnies…
Kindness, acceptance, inclusion… these are virtues that we were encouraged to adopt beginning in pre-school.
Some folks don’t have to be reminded to practice these virtues—I wish I was one of them. When I am stressed, I tend to be short with people and I never feel good about that.
I have been on a years-long quest to change, to always be kind to the people around me, but I consider myself to be a work-in-progress. It is possible to evolve if you put your mind to it.
Right now, with the country split politically, I think it’s especially important to be kind to everyone. If we all do that, maybe the national stress level will go down a bit. Wouldn’t that be wonderful!
