Halloween Time And A Lucky Hobbs Batting Winner

It's Halloween time...I love this time of year!

So does Creepy Bunny.


He loves to get all decked out in his costume and even posed in front of my new quilt cabinet.

My hubby and I walked into a thrift store and saw the cabinet of my dreams (or close to it.)
Perfect size. Perfect price (cheap.)
Perfect for my quilts that have been waiting for a place to be stored.


Definitely not fancy, but totally shows my quilts.
I love the chicken wire!


There's a winner for the Hobbs batting...lucky Laura!
I've emailed her for info on where to mail that luscious Hobbs wool batting.

My Quilt Taffy gift certificate giveaway is still going on HERE.
Don't miss your chance to win $20 to shop!



The Dog Gone Cute blog hop is still howling away. Check out all the pups on display!

Life Is Good With A Dog In The House And A Giveaway

Dogs have always been a part of my life, so when Lorna at Sew Fresh Quilts showed the
adorable Dog Gone Cute blocks on her blog I just had to jump in and make a quilt with them!


The fun part was being able to pick the dogs I liked and use fabric from my stash.
Of course, I liked all those sweet pups and totally loved sewing them together.

Life is good with a dog in the house!

A little gingham ruffle goes perfectly with puppies!


Red polka dots on the back...fun!


Quilted with Superior Threads MonoPoly invisible thread.

Go visit Sew Fresh Quilts to make your own sweet dogs!


Look who else is showing off their Dog Gone Cute puppies:

Show And Tell Day With EQ7 Seasons Row-A-Long

It's time to show and tell the projects I made using rows from the EQ7 Season Row-A-Long.
What an amazing month of creative people from all over the world...wowzers!

This is how the quilt looks in EQ7. It was fun to move the rows around and get creative with them.


Here it is all sewn up in beautiful fabrics by Northcott.
The batting is by Hobbs which made it so snuggly and warm.
It's really big and measures 70" x 85.5"!
Thank you Northcott and Hobbs for helping me make this seasonal quilt!


I used rows from Anneke, Marian, both Carol's, Linda, Darlene, and both Amy's.
All the rows were so beauiful and fun, but I couldn't use them all...darn!
Quilting was by Quilted Works.


It was also fun to take just a few blocks from rows to create other projects like this baby quilt using
the adorable airplanes from Carla's row. The quilt measures 42" x 52" - fabrics are by Northcott.

CREATIN IN THE STICKS



I loved the hearts in Doris' row.

Her row is so patriotic and perfect for a 4th of July table runner!
