november is blowing warm.  the air is gentle, unlike the novembers i expect to brace myself against.  edgar had his birthday yesterday.  his eighth birthday.  he shares his birthday with remembrance day.  we took him to my parents place.  it's his favorite spot to wander in the fields and around the naked gray trees and amongst the barns that have stood for almost 2 centuries. a lovely afternoon visit with my parents.  soup with warm, fresh from the oven cornmeal and caraway crackers for lunch. a perfect sunday.  
mr. rochester is completed and listed in my etsy shop.  he and jane  eyre are upstairs in bed together (hehe).  they make a great couple.  today i'm working my way through 'great expectations'.  and we'll see what comes from dickens.  i'm looking forward to miss havisham bursting her way into my studio in quilt form.

    Sounds like a perfect autumn lunch. I'm glad Edgar got to roam. The quilt is fabulous! As for Dickens, he has enough characters to populate a lifetime of quilts.

      i have pip done. the only problem with dickens is i feel the quilts will be exceedingly dreary. i think i'll have miss havisham done tomorrow.

    It was such a beautiful warm day, I bet Edgar loved sniffing around the farm. Love the quilt on the line!

      thanks sally. it was a gorgeous day. and he wore himself out completely. he's a bit of an old man, so it was good for him.
