It's Design Wall Monday--see more design walls on Judy's Small Quilts and Doll Quilts blog for more inspiring projects using needle, fabric, and thread.
Off my design wall is the #gobblesewalong pillow from Center Street Quilts. I finished mine very late on Saturday night, in time to show for the final day Sunday. Pattern available in her Etsy shop.
Walking foot channel stitching in groups of three finished off the front of the pillow. Backing and binding from stash completed the 18" pillow cover. My sister wants me to add "crazy eyes", which I don't want to do, but I'm considering button eyes as the designer, Kristina Brinkerhoff, used. I didn't win the prize she was offering participants, but enjoyed very much creating Mr. Gobble from scraps and stash. Instagram users can check the #gobblesewalong hashtag for some really fun turkeys.
Meanwhile in Southern California, there is a lot of smoke and bad air quality. This pic was taken Thursday morning and the sky stayed this color all day into the next. Over the weekend the sky almost returned to normal low clouds/fog/overcast, but no blue skies or sunshine in our area. We are far from the fires and safe, but mourn the loss and heartbreak so many are facing in California and Oregon. Fingers crossed the fires will not last weeks longer. We are thinking of all the firefighters and citizens saving lives and property amid the devastation seen from the air. Stay safe!

That is a very cute turkey. :)
So sorry to see your sky looking like that, knowing it means fires out of control.
My daughter texted last night from Oregon. She was so excited to see that their air quality had dropped from the 400-600 range it had been in to the 200 range. Still "very unhealthy", but at least not "hazardous".
Mr. Turkey is very cute. Eyes are fine but I agree -- no googly eyes. The news as seen on the East Coast is dreadful. Seeing a country map with little fire symbols is awful due to the number of fires around the west. Stay safe. And, keep the rest of us posted when you learn where quilts are being collected for victims of the fires in CA.
Your turkey is just great. Are you making any more for Thanksgiving presents?
I hear the air quality is very bad around where my brother lives too... Even in Long Beach my son says the ashes fall every day. Stay safe.
