Monster Mash Blog Hop

Welcome Back to Monster Mash Blog Hop Day 2!

Come join us for some spooky fun, monsters included! Here's what I stitched up! Two sweet little kitchen voodoos. Any thing to oversee the cooking to whip up some delicious baking and cooking!

I normally throw all the snips and string clippings into a small container and used them up to stuff the dollies. It gives them a bit more stiffness but that isn't something that really bothers me as they are just for looking at.

My husband and I also did a little vintage shop hop. And look at some of these cuties!

The cat basket HAD to come home with me! And look at how adorable a collection of fabrics rolls looks in it just waiting for me to dive into them!

And to join in the latest craze, I had a ghostie photo shoot with my favorite person, my sister. We had a blast! You all should do this just because it brings all the sillies out!

Have a Happy Monster Mash Week You All! It is a gorgeous time of year! And don't forget to go see all the participants in the Hop this week!

It's A Dog's Life

Lots of sharing, showing off our beautiful little dogs (and cats) and enjoying each other's company! This happens when Joan of Moosestash Quilting and Carol of Just Let Me Quilt challenge us to stitch up something for Sew It - Show It!

September's challenge is hosted by Carol - This month Carol prompted "It's A Dog's Life" - How true is that? We all love our little furry friends and they pretty much boss us around. (The alternative challenge was to think vintage - I'm thinking Dick, Jane & Spot. I taught my baby brother to read with those books!

This month, I found a cute embroidery pattern and stitched it onto a coaster to gift to a sweet friend my husband and I just met. They have a new dog too! Sugar-bear... The stitch out is in honor of their newest family member.

You can find the design at Embroidery Designs.com

Please stop by all the other participants to see what they've created to share with us! An aside note, my Lil' Apple Jack loves wearing her sweaters. She acts like we've treated her extra special when she wears one. It was a little cooler when we left for vacation from Florida to West Viriginia. Poor little gal was shivering! Problem solved!

Sew It - Show It Challenge Coming Up!

Just a lot of sharing and enjoying each other's company! This is happening every month with Joan of Moosestash Quilting and Carol of Just Let Me Quilt. They share a challenge for anyone that wishes to join and we in turn grab up the challenge and stitch something up for share and tell!

We provide inspiration, encouragement and friendship. Sometimes there are tutorials and patterns provided. Sometimes there are just witty and genius ideas shared.

This month Carol challenged/ and is hosting "It's A Dog's Life" - sew/stitch a project that is dog related. We can all relate! So many of us just simply cannot go any where without our little furry. (There is an alternative to use something / do something vintage...I'm thinking Dick, Jane & Spot. Who remembers reading those learning sources?)

Here's a sneak peak of Apple Jack - Fully Known as Lil' Emily Apple Jack! Tune in to see her all grown up!

Wishing you all will join me as well as all my quilty friends next week. See this Fabulous Line-Up!

Making a Come Back

I've missed you, my quilty friends - my inspiration - my source of happy communication with like-minded people. I've missed you so much that I've decided to be a part of the online blogging community again!

A Photo for Today! Let's see if I can keep this up. A Photo for the Day, No explanations. And see where it leads me.

Another Hug for Cancer Therapy Quilt

I've said it once and will say it again! Quilting for Charity Groups are everywhere, because ...admit it....we love to buy fabric! We love to cut it up and play with it! And we can only use so many quilts for ourselves! And Then!!! There is this superb streak of generosity from quilters all over the world!

This one was created for a sweet gentleman I've worked with and since retired. He is fighting his fight in a rehabilitation ward in Florida and giving it his all.

The pattern is a Modification of Pat Sloan's Oh My Stars! and you can find the free version at the link. Follow along at her blog for more news and her You Tube for some fun daily tutorials and shares.

I used this beautiful farm print in the stars for the front and gorgeous falling oak leaves on the back to a give it a nice outdoorsman feel. This one has been mailed off and I just know he is comforted with it.
