My bee mate Irene @hixsonir chose our final Bee Sewcial prompt for the year, "Spicy Glyphs." She gave us 8 unique figures to recreate in warm, spicy colors.

October Fabric Usage
After bringing in zero new fabric in September, I had anticipated some new acquisitions in October. So the first handful of prints and a lot of the solids I ended up getting were planned. BUT with an unexpected travel purchase, and joining Tara Faughnan's Block Studies Collective, the purchases added up. I decided to just go for it, hoping this month would be much quieter.
So once the calendar turned to October, I went and chose a few cuts of Night Rainbow by Deborah Fisher @fishmuseum. I'd had my eye on that new line, especially that Boundless Binding in Gingersnap print shown below on the far right. I went ahead and grabbed a coordinating print as well as a pair of tone-on-tone prints, which my stash is currently lacking.
When in Pleasanton CA visiting our son and dil, we went to the Quilt, Craft and Sewing Festival, where I surprisingly saw Paul of Island Quilter @islandquilter. He and his partner Anya have been longtime friends of Seattle MQG, often bringing their mobile store to our retreats.
