Shared Coasters
First up we have The Queen of Halloween, Kim from http://www.kimsbigquiltingadventure.blogspot.com/. She put a spin on hers with some beautiful leaves. Go check out her blog, she'll crack you up!



On another note, remember the bunny quilt? I decided that I wanted to give it a name like an English Estate. So I can't decide on: 1. Meadow View Cottage 2.Robin Hill Cottage 3. Hillside Cottage 4. Red Door Cottage. Give me your opinions and maybe I'll get a label on that puppy! Take care and have a Mellow Monday,

Them Bones
Then I moved on the the femur. They were a little more complicated. I was having problems keeping them from looking like a male member, if you know what I mean.

Tom, Dick, Harry...
Witchy Poo has always had bad taste in men. So bad that she has to do away with them at the end of their relationship. She feels that she is now doing a great service by ridding the world of these terrible men. She has also kept them around as reminder and a deterrent to other men, which never works.

More Orange
So long story short, I completed no sewing. The last thing I did was make pillowcases. Why? Because I needed a new Halloween look. Remember those sheets? Well I used the top sheet as a cover-up over my white comforter. I also got down one of my black quilts. It's not a Halloween quilt, but it does have orange, so I thought it would work. What do you think?
The weird patch on the right hand of the quilt, must be dust, from the shelf. Funny thing is, you can't see it in person, but every picture that I took has the look. But now you can see how I quilted it! Yup, a simple grid.
My white pillowcase weren't matching as well so I made black ones. I had a little bit of that black polka-dot left over, so of course I used it up. And to the other set, I added rick-rack. How cute is that? I may have gone a little over board, but I can live with it for a while. This has made me realize that I really, really need to make a cheddar quilt. Just cheddar and more cheddar. So I've made a pact with myself to do that by next year.
Tomorrow I promise to show you all the shrunken heads. I went to take a pic just now and my camera is full and just ran out of juice, so tomorrow.
Take care, Brandie

7 down 13 to go, UFO's
I'm still looking for a name for this quilt, technically, a quilt isn't complete without a label and I feel that every quilt needs a name. So put your thinking caps on and send me a name. Donna, keep it clean!
Take care everyone, Brandie

Wonderful Wednesday
I just came back and filled in some of the blank areas with...more feathers. What a great idea! Free form feathers are very liberating. I just need to remember to let my mind go blank and just do it. I need to stop my brain from taking over and just do it! Let my hands do the work.
After I had a talk to my head and hands, I think the quilting went much smoother. Now I just have to finish the other 2 corners. I'm so close I can feel it. Today is my small group get together, so hopefully I'll get much accomplished!
I just want to share some cuteness with you. A couple of weeks ago I had order some fabric. Well after being back ordered, it finally arrived. This is probably not new to any of you. It came out a year or so ago. When I first saw it in a catalog, I knew I needed so. But when I ordered it then, they were out so I figured that I didn't really need it. But now I might need it. You never know.
My cousin and I used to play with her Mom's paper dolls. So when I saw this fabric, I thought of her and I still do. One of these days she may get married and have a little girl and when she does, I'll have the perfect fabric to make a quilt out of. So this will be added to my stash, just for Cindy.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday,
Take care, Brandie
