September Quilts from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

The leaves on the trees are turning colour ..... time to bring out the September quilts.  The pumpkin quilts might even stay out for October.  I saw some pumpkins in the grocery store already.  





Every time I look at this crazy patch quilt ..... I want to make more to use up my scraps.








We have been having a lot of bear sightings in town lately.  Over a week ago, a bear was seen next door eating crab apples on the front lawn.  Then two nights ago, another neighbour saw a mama bear with cubs on her front lawn.  I've been ...

A Pile of Quilts from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

This is the aftermath of changing out the quilts each month ..... a huge pile of quilts to roll up or fold.

Help is always appreciated when doing this job ...... but this fella kept getting in the way!  He really liked the rolling bit and the string tying.  Play time!  LOL
Sister and I went to the cottage for an overnight stay.  We saw a momma partridge and four babies.  Momma just sauntered slowly across the road in front of my car and her four babies flew across the road.  If you look closely to the left side of the road ...

A New Adventure from twiddletails

In 2022, we built a new home. We love it, but old "stuff" doesn't always fit into a new place and we now have an empty space above our fireplace and nothing to fill it with.


Even though I do not consider myself an artist AT ALL, I thought I'd try to make a little something to fill the area while we search for the perfect piece of art.
Something neutral and unobtrusive...


 Apparently, I don't do "neutral and unobtrusive" very well.

This may be a forerunner to the final product, but I am loving the process ...

Xmas Stars Away! from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

The year is closing down ..... less than a month to go.  Where has the year gone?

I've been busy working on my new project ..... hummmm ..... squirrel!  Xmas Stars is coming along very nicely.   It will be just a large lap size and if one star is completed per week ..... well, this should be done in a few months.  I'm still deciding about the edges.  Not sure if this will be the final look.

Some fussy cutting is happening.   Loving them!
A little bit of Xmas decorating is changing the look of our rooms.

Hubby and I have downsized ...

Sew much .... oops .... squirrel! from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

Sew much is getting done these days, I can't stand it!   No, I lie .... my ufo's are getting dealt with and that makes me very happy.  My sister asked me if I was bored.  I laughed.  Me bored?  Not a chance.  It is just the getting out and shopping that disturbs me but we have to do it smartly and just stay at home.

So, I work away.  In my happy place. 

My apple cores are done and inner borders are on.  Just pondering the outside borders.  The top border will have applique.

Then, a squirrel came along ...
