October - Pumpkins & leaves & Anniversaries

Here's my scarecrow pillow 

from the Moda "I Can Make That"

Blog Hop.

The fabrics are a combination of

my Sweet Violet fabric line

and Betsy Chutchian's "Sarah's Story" line.

I thought they went together in a most

pleasing manner :)

To purchase a kit to make the pillow top

you need to click here.

Our vintage book (or books in this case)

for October is both books of

Pinecones & Hollyberries by

me & Sue Spargo.

Here's a picture of the quilts on

the back cover of book #1.

The Urn Tabletopper is 20" x 43'

 and the House quilt is 54" x 54".

It's never too early to start on Christmas stockings

and presents so next week I'll show you

some of the stockings you can make with

patterns from this book. 

Meanwhile, it's sunny and warm with only a 

slight wind - perfect weather for sitting

on my front porch

or up by the garden

and stitching.

My 50th Anniversary is Friday

and I'm still working on the quilt top.  :)

Have a good week ladies

   Love that Angel table topper--just perfect for the holiday season....hugs, Julierose

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

   And since there were 2 quilts I decided to do another drawing.

   
   

   I kind of skewed the results by taking out all the entries that said they

   wanted the Tablerunner and the entries by Daniel from

   Microsoft that were really ads for Microsoft and ran the new numbers.

   
   

   The winner of the long cabin pattern is Anna who said

   Oh my gosh . . .what a great idea for a log cabin. . .the angel tablerunner is cute too, but the log cabin would be my choice.

   
   

   

   
   

   OK ladies, if you will email Tammie at janpatekquiltsinc@gmail

   and tell her which patterns you won, she'll mail you your patterns.

   
   

   It's been a really fun Hop and I hope you all got lots of ideas for quilts to make.

   
   

   Right now I'm working on my 50th Anniversary quilt and a 

   Purple House Pillow to go with my purple quilts.

   
   

   Check back Wednesday for the jpgs of the House pillow and the scarecrow pillow.

   
   

   Right now I have to go let the chickens out.  

   
   

   Everyone here was up late watching the Chief's game.  

   We lost :(  But I guess even with Mahomes we can't win them all.

Day #9

Over The River BOM

Quilt designed by me

Fabric - Sarah's Story by Betsy Chutchian.

This is one of my husband' favorite quilts.

I don't think I've ever designed a quilt he

didn't like but every once in awhile there 

is one that he loves.

It has all of our favorite elements

Home, nature, God (besides the obvious 

church & angels, there are lots of stars and moons,

which in my quilts stand for the celestial), 

and of course

kids and grandkids.
