Henrietta...and a friend....

I have been working along on my borders for my red version of Henrietta Whiskers, a free BOM offered by Bunny Hill Designs.  I had all my little pieces attached and some of them stitched in place.  I thought I would stretch it out across the sofa to get a better look at it overall.  I wandered off into the kitchen for a minute or so..and when I came back:

Henrietta had found a new friend!

Needless to say, two hours later...I am still waiting for Klawd to finish "visiting" with Henrietta!

A BIG FINISH!

Yesterday I was able to complete the entire quilt top for my blue version of Henrietta Whiskers, the free BOM that has been offered by Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs.  (The patterns will be available through December.)  So, presenting my 'blue' Henrietta Whiskers, the top portion:

the bottom:

and, overall:

The only way I could get any picture of it at all was to clip it to my fence out back....excuse the clothespins (and the shadows from the roof overhang)!

Only two more versions to finish! ;)  Working on the red one now.

Block 9

Ta Da!  The last block for Henrietta Whiskers' Block of the Month.  But, not all of the quilt is done yet.  There are still two borders which have little birds and stars to be appliqued. 

Next up will be the blue version of Henrietta's Block 9 for Bears Paw Fabrics. :)

Whew!!

Well, I tried all day yesterday to post, to no avail.  I had prepared a nice long post about Hurricane Irene..gone...so...let's try again.  We were definitely affected by the hurricane, but thankfully, not any extensive damage was done.  Mainly, was the loss of power for approximately 40 some hours.  A lot of branches and leaves were down, but other than that, nothing major.  However, you would think I would have done a lot of stitching.  Not so...without lights, not a lot of stitching or quilting was accomplished.  But...the good thing is that my house is cleaner and more organized than it has been for a while! ;))

Just before Irene, I had finished my last block for 'Bewitched.'  I decided to redo my house block, as I was not completely satisfied with my first attempt.  I do like this one much better.  It does still need a bit of extra embroidery to be completely done, but take a peek:

I do like this one much better.  Now to add the final details.

Here's a closer look at the door and windows:

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope everyone is well, and safe.

Changes

I am almost there...to the end of my blocks for the center of my 'Bewitched' quilt top.  I had originally thought I was going to have a bowl of Halloween candy for this block.  I spent a couple of days making wool felt black and red licorice, Heshey kiss-shaped candies, lollipops and fun little candy corn.  But there were too many pieces for the small size of  this block.  I decided it would be more balanced with a different center.  I used the same heart design as is in one of the blocks for Shabby Fabric's Blessings of  Spring, only using some of the fabrics from my collection for this project.

Don't fret!  You may get to see those candies somewhere in the outer borders. :)

Welcome my new little girl!

Aha!  Gotcha!  Not  a new baby....well, she is my baby. Introducing Vanna!

 Her cute little (ahem...) toes....

Her pretty (another ahem) little face.....well, you know what is said about a face only a mother could love:

...and the rest of my ;)  beautiful little vulture:

Here is the entire block for my 'Bewitched' quilt, featuring none other than...Vanna Vulture!

Why Vanna?  She takes after Vanna White on The Wheel of Fortune!  The hair...(well, feathers)...the blingy necklace and her fancy attire...OK, it's only a headband.

I am so thrilled with how she came to life.  Hope you like her, too!

Barn #2

This is the second block for my Little Red Barns quilt.  It came in the mail yesterday and upon opening the package,  I went to work.  Very unusual for me.  It was all put together by late last night, with the pieces for applique the only part left.  A giant sunflower to go with the giant stalk of corn from Block #1. ;))
