A little turkey with your turkey???

Isn't he cute? At least I'll be able to laugh while I do dishes.

More UFO's to check off my list.

Now, lets see, what should I work on next?

A little bit "nutty"...............................

Did you see the fun give-away at Anne Sutton's Bunny Hill blog?  Check it out. I love her blog and website.  What fun designs!!  She always has something interesting to share with us.  I only wish I were as productive as she is.  Me thinks she does not sleep!

I played hookie yesterday................

All studying and no quilting makes a girl quite cranky, soooooooooooooo, I played hookie yesterday.  I think I may again today, too.   Yesterday I made a kitty tote for a customer and it turned out so cute, I may just have to make another, maybe larger for a project tote.
And I got more mugrugs ready for sale and my own Christmas gifts.  I thought they'd make a good "neighbor" gift to go along with a plate of Christmas cookies this year.

I think I'll dig out my ricrac and make a few gingerbread man mugrugs like this.

or maybe this one.  Tell me, do you think it looks like a flamingo face? 

Before I got this posted, I actually got a few of these started. Just need to finish the edges and add pupils to his goofy eyeballs.  I had a piece of this fantastic feather fabric, I picked up years ago and have been hoarding for just the right project.  I love those colors, whatever they are.  Flamingo Pink, I'd say.

Well, I'm off to play.  I think I like playing hookie.  I hope you all have as much fun today as I plan to do!

My family reunion, kinda spooky.................

I just had to share some pics of my weekend family reunion.  Some "cuzzins" dropped by for a few days along with one of our very special aunts.  What a great way to end the month of October.

We had more fun digging thru our local Goodwill store for our costumes.  It's amazing what you'll find there. You didn't think we dressed this way everyday, right?  Well, some mornings, maybe.

Get your cheeseburger here.......................

Free Applique Cheeseburger Pattern How 'bout a double cheeseburger to go with your beer.  Click the link for a free 8" x 8" applique pattern.  Enjoy!

WooHoo! My first freebie!

Well, I've been trying to figure out how I can give you free patterns for a long time. Easy and cheap, that is. I think I've finally figured something out.  So this is a dry run and I need your help. 

In the spirit of football season or whatever reason you feel you need, I've got a mug o' beer for ya' all.   Click on the link and download the pdf file for the free applique pattern. (You'll need Adobe free reader)

Then, if you will, come back here and leave me comments regarding your experience in retrieving the pattern.  I think it's going to be easy but I'd love to hear about it, was it difficult to get to, did it download easily, was it more work than you want to deal with? If all goes well, I'll have more free patterns from time to time and I'll annouce them right here. 

 CHEERS, EVERYBODY! and Happy Football Season!
