Anyone Can Quilt

Happy Halloween from Race Horse Rosie!

Race Horse Rosie wishes you all a safe and spooky night! 

Rosie takes safety very seriously.  She would like to wear her costume to patrol the neighborhood for safety violations.  She feels very official in her hat; and nothing makes her more angry than children in dark costumes without flashlights and reflective tape. 

But she's not always so serious, she'd like to show you her most spooky face..

Spoooooky Ooooooky...... Don't make Rosie angry,, you won't like her when she's angry.

Our girl is so patient!!  Now, do I dare dress up the guinea pigs?....

Have a fun night everyone!! xoxo

 

 

What a month!!

Here's the run down:  Bunny got sick.  I got sick.  Bunny on antibiotics.  Me on antibiotics.  Giving bunny antibiotics a challenge.  Bunny gets antibiotics dribbled down chin every time.  Bunny excessively licks chin.  Bunny has hairless chin. 

After a bit bunny and I were both feeling much better from our illnesses.  Then for me the daily headaches start.  Bunny's chin hair grows back.  Bummer, that naked chin cracked me up. 

Finally last week I was feeling back to normal, and just in time for the fall quilt retreat!  Mom and I went last year and had a BLAST.  This year we had a wonderful time as well.  I love getting to spend time with my mom.  We enjoyed sewing and visiting from Thursday through Sunday.  Not a meal to prepare, not a dish to clean.  Heavenly. 

I didn't take too many pictures of the retreat.  I wasn't in the picture taking mood.  Shocking I know!  That is not like me.  At all.  But I fell so in love with this quilt by the fabulous Renee, I had to lug out the camera.

You are awesome Renee!  I can't tell you how many wonderful people come to this retreat.  I was so great to catch up with friends that we met last year at the retreat.  And so equally great to meet so many more new friends.  I can't wait to see you all next year! 

I finished quilting a quilt (pics soon!) and put together a simple quilt top for Little Sis.  She chose every single fabric for her quilt. 

Now I've been slapping charm squares up on the design wall for Big Sis.  I hope to decide on a final design and start peicing this soon!

I was so excited to find this Halloween Fabric!  It made adorable pillowcases.

I'm also excited about the color of my hydrangeas.  I love the faded purple/green/gray they have become.   

Oh!  I came home from retreat with some new fabric.  We stopped at a great quilt shop that had a nice coupon for all of us retreat people. Isn't this a cute stack!?

Ok, now it's time for me to get sewing on Little Sis's Halloween costume.  She's got bell bottoms on order from mom's sweat shop. 

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!   xoxo
