Quilted Kitty

I haven't been entering contests lately.  I have so much fabric and too many UFOs.  I saw on Facebook that Quilted Kitty was having a Halloween give away of some Henry Glass fabrics, so of course I entered.  I was a lucky winner!



Look at this cute package of fabric.
 
 

 I love the little quilted kitty that is their mascot along with their many real cats, Wally, Opie, Molly  and Olivia.    I have subscribed to their newsletter for years.  They stock many different fabrics with cats on them.  I've never been lucky enough to visit their shop--I'd like to some day.

 
I received 1 yard of Delightfully Frightful by Debbie Taylor.  What a cute print!


 There were also 2 half yard cuts.  The spiders and webs are Debbie Taylor too.  The pumpkins are Frank-N-Friends by Barbara Jones.   Thank you Quilted Kitty for the fun fabrics!!!!  If you go to the link, you will see these fabrics are on sale right now.

I thought I would make a table runner for the kitchen table.   Well, it seems I can't find the bright pumpkin fabric.  I have looked high and low!  Has that ever happened to you?  I'm sure it will show up, but it has been a frustrating afternoon of looking for it.  It's got to be under something!  I thought all three pieces of fabric were together on the table.  I'm giving up for tonight!!

Here are a few of my cats.  They look a little startled to have their pictures taken.








I would love to get my hands on this pretty Siamese.  He is very timid and not one bit trusting of the one who feeds him.  We haven't had a Siamese cat on the farm for 15 years.  I'm not sure if he is a throw back from the gene pool or what.  His siblings are all black.   He is the prettiest colors.

I'll be back to show you what I finally did sew today.

Fall

It's fall and I'm not liking the cold weather.  I'm going to show you my flowers and pretend it was 80 today.


The Lamb's Ears really spread-which I hear is normal.  My one perennial, Brown eyed Susan was lovely.


 I forgot what these were, but I loved their pretty purple flowers.  I had to water a lot to keep them going.


 My hen I planted last year had a good little brood going this year. Do you know do I need to cover them for the winter?  We had a hard freeze last week, so the flowers are done for the season.



Oh, look!!  Another llama baby!!  The llamas have been in the far pasture for the summer, do we haven't seen much of them.  This little one will be just as wild as last years.  It will be fun to have them closer to home, so we can see them more often.

This is kind of a silly post.  I wanted to blog, but I don't have much for material to blog about.  I have not been sewing.  I hope some day to do that again.  I really miss it and I miss all of you.
