What I did this weekend

You can't beat sitting around a fire pit on a chilly October day with friends. This was my weekend and it was wonderful.

Giraffe

This is the giraffe my friends and I have adopted as our mascot. This picture shows him enjoying the smoke from the fire pit.

My Cats

Here is a photo of all 3 of my cats on a quilt created from a Kaffe jelly roll. Honestly, the only reason the 3 of them would sleep together is because it is now starting to get cold and they want their collective body heat. 

Moose on the Porch Quilts

This is the second block for Moose on the Porch Fat Quarters Quilt Along. I'm using reproduction fabrics in red, white and blue. I say "reproduction" in a loose way because these fabrics may be a copy of a colonial era cotton or from the Civil War, it doesn't matter, they will be used in this quilt.

Civil War Dresses Quilt

This quilt was 12 years in the making. I appliqued the dresses and sewed on old jewelry pieces onto the dresses.My plan was that this would be a wallhanging but my taste has changed over the years so for now this will live in an old chest we have.

Pearl

Pearl is feeling the Buffalo Bills love. Go Bills!!!!

Conversational Print Quilt

This quilt is made from conversational prints paired with a complemetary color. The center squares are stripe fabric left over from another quilt. I hand quilted this and used wool batting for the first time. This quilt is actually on my bed now. 

New fabric

I bought these fabrics from Z&S Fabrics. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them but I love them!

Garden Fence Quilt DONE!

Well, the quilt top is done. I really love this pattern and hope to make some more with this fabric.

FQ Stars block

I started a block of the week through Moose on the Porch Quilts. It will be all stars and will last until March. I'm using red, white and blue with Civil War fabrics that I have on hand.
