I Like Thursdays #6

Today is I Like Thursdays #6; I’ve missed a few Thursdays in between this post and the last. It’s been a bit busy around here. I’m joining our host, LeeAnna and the rest of the gang to think on things we like and are grateful for each day. I hope you hop over to visit LeeAnna and the others to enjoy their likes for the week too!

Home. While I like going on trips, I love coming home. To my bed, my house, and my cat.

Someone missed me while we were gone . . .

This was much of the scene last night after we got home. There was much cuddling, and (hoarse) meowing, and nuzzling.

Campfires. There is nothing more peaceful and settling than a campfire. When it’s on the shores of Lake Superior on a lovely, warm evening, so much the better.

We didn’t get to spend as much time by the lake as we had hoped, but we enjoyed it anyway. So peaceful.

Fall colors. The leaves were just beginning to change as we arrived up north. On the way home, we were amazed at how quickly it is changing. Peak season is right on the doorstep.

I Like Thursdays #6 - Fall colors are showing up on our drive to northern Minnesota. Peak colors will be here soon. - piecefulthoughts.com

This is just a peek on the drive up to the cabin. There was much more color around us as we made our way home.

Aurifil Wool Thread. I’ve been doing some big stitches on a quilt this weekend. One of the threads I used was this tan Aurifil wool. I hadn’t used it before. It works beautifully with flannels and homespun fabrics.

I Like Thursdays #6 - Aurifil Wool Thread is lovely to work with, especially combined with flannel and homespun fabrics! - piecefulthoughts.com

I hope to have this quilt finished to post either tomorrow or Saturday. The combination of this thread with the fabrics, along with Hobbs 80/20 batting makes me want to whip up a flannel quilt for fall!

Nature walks. Okay, this was really a walk from the shore to the cabin, so not really a nature walk, per se. However, it is a walk through nature, and this little gathering around this unusual mushroom made me smile.

I Like Thursdays #6 - Nature scenes are so fun. This mushroom clustered with the leaves and bits of green made me smile - piecefulthoughts.com

I was struck at how I have to work at staging photos of my quilts, while nature stages everything for me. This was a quick snap as we were leaving the cabin, so I apologize for the blur.

That’s my I Like Thursdays for this week. Thanks for stopping in to read my post!

Happy Thursday, everyone!

Wendy
