Only half a post . . . . .

But, at least we can get a few things done.
First
and foremost
the Sunny Days 


books got here today.
Yay, Yay, Yay


And Martingale has done their
usual stupendous jog
with this book.

Also the Sarah's Story fabric 
designed by 
Betsy Chutchian got here too so


kits for Over the River


the Angel Table-runner,


Grandma's House,


Winter Wonderland,
and


Church Bells in the Snow 
are all being cut.

If you preordered any of those kits
you should be getting them soon.

If you want to order one today you
can do so by clicking here.


And since it's getting to close to 
Christmas and because I decided 
to make this quilt for my sister, I'm 
leaving it on sale for another week.

Merry Almost Christmas, ladies.

American Jane)

It's December already

Another year almost gone.
But still lots of time left to quilt :)


This is Folk Art Favorites
Part 1 - Winter Holidays
by me and my friend and fellow
Moda Designer, Sandy Klop -
known to most people as American Jane.

There are 3 books in this series and this is Book 1.
You need all 3 books to make this quilt
and they are our Vintage book on sale this month.
All 3 are on sale in a bundle for one price.
To get yours you can click here.


I love the Partridge in a Pear Tree quilt
and these chilly December nights are just
right for cuddling up under the Pineapple quilt


or the Folk Art Angels quilt.  
One can always use a few more
angels around the house.
And here are the directions for the 
triangle/square pineapples that 
Carrie Nelson of Moda fame likes so much.


And what is Christmas without
Stockings - large stockings that hold
lots of loot (or socks and underwear 
as well as oranges and candy).

Christmas is coming so we'd better get quilting.  :)

Its still November - And COLD....


This is what it looks like outside.
It's 22 right now but it's
supposed to get up to 40 later today.


Yesterday the high was 22 so we're already 
ahead of the game right now.

When its this cold this early in the season
I spend a lot of my day taking care 
of my chickens - making sure each house has
food and a heated waterer and that the
waterers are working.


My neat green waterers don't work anymore -
the water is frozen.  So yesterday I ran to Orschelns
and got some plug in pet waterers.  
Luckily the green waterers can be converted to
feeders.  I just took them to the house, washed
and dried them, filled them with feed 
and turned the lids (just the lids) over.  
Now they're feeders- pretty neat :).

Before I post this I'll take a picture of the new set up.
I can't post right now anyway because for some 
reason, Blogger won't save the post so I'll have
to leave it open until it will.

I may have to wait until it warms us 
a little to get things to work

Back inside, Kitty Kate


and Elizabeth


are keeping me company while
I'm working on "Cozy Cabin" -
the Tablestand Quilt for
December.


I didn't have a chance to post on Veteran's Day
but I hope you had a chance to thank one of
our service men or women for the
great job they do of keeping us safe.


To get a kit (including 
the hanger), click here.

Keep quilting ladies and
see you next week.

And now it's November.........

But for awhile it looked like we had skipped a month.


Dobby, our Welsh Corgi is
discussing the situation with the 
stone puppy by the garden bench.
I think they decided that it was 
too soon for snow.


I found out the breed of my little chickens.
They are banty Mille Fluer D'uccles.
I am assuming with that name they are French.
Apparently the Mille Fluer are
the white dots on their feathers.


This is their comfy house with it's 
nests for laying eggs and their feeder.


They seem to have gotten a little
confused as to which was which.


And this is the November Mystery Quilt Block.
This yellow cat is new to the barn.
I leave the window to the grain room open a
crack except in the most severe weather.  
The window faces the south and is protected.


That way if one of the house cats goes out for
the night and isn't back by house curfew they
have a way to get out of the weather.
Well, Muffin Kitty is a stray who showed up
about 2 months ago and has made himself at
home.  He's settled in and loves being petted now
and getting his "wet food" treat every night.
(Dry food and water are a staple)


Since Halloween is over, it's time to turn about
the Fall Favorites Tablestand Quilt.  
Now we're headed for Thanksgiving.  To get
your pattern or kit for the 
quilt click here.  The Pumpkin and
Gate header is available now also.

Our Vintage book for the month 
is


with patterns for 12 fun quilts, 
pillows and stockings.  
To order your copy click here

It's time to get busy.
Christmas will be here before you know it. :)

This is a large quilt so we are offering a few different 
ways to purchase the kit.  
At the moment we are taking preorders and 
shipment will begin in December.

You can buy the kit outright for $290.00 
by clicking here
or
you can make 4 payments of $72.50 each
by clicking here
we'll ship the quilt in segments or all
at once after the last payment 
if it comes that way from Moda.
I do hope that made sense.

And on a totally different set of purple quilts,
someone on Instagram wanted to see
a picture of my couch with it's quilt and pillows
so here is "Home Sweet Log Cabin Home"
with the Purple House Pillow and the 
Scarecrow Pillow - also part of "America For Me".


And here is the leather-bound journal
Pep gave me for our 50th Anniversary.

for another Adventure."  :)

He's a Keeper.
