Journals part 2

One for her and one for her bff...

These little mini quilts satisfy me between piecing large quilts.

Crazy about dinosaurs?

I used the cute selvage edge of this fabric to put a name on.

Dakota Man cut out the wood shapes for me to tie to the journals.

journals

 Bet you can't make just one...

                                                                                            I can't!

 I wanted a journal to record our bike trips.

And now I need to go because I'm making

 two more notebooks covers for Christmas presents.

I put a spell on you

 Halloween embroidery with a hex...

I cast a spell on these then filled them with sleeping powders.

DIRECTIONS: Place one under your pillow before retiring

 to quarantee a night of uninterrupted sleep.

Yes...I enjoy scaring small clhildren.

~b is for Broom Hilda

Boo

I have to admit I enjoy halloween and crafting items for it.

Boo is a primitive black cat sitter and is perfect to tuck in anywhere.

I was inspired yesterday to paint.

Bringing the leaves indoors...

Norm and Nanette

 I tucked my Norm and Nanette quilt into a corner of our camper to take pictures of it in the Black Hills. Mr. b is really patient when it comes to my quilt pictures...I think he enjoys the hunt for locations as much as I do.

My quilter in North Dakota did a beautiful job quilting it 

in gnomes and other garden shapes.

I had to purchase background and backing fabrics 

but the gnomes are all fabrics I had on hand.

This was a fun quilt to make...I love it!

falling leaves

 One of my favorite things to do with fall leaves is press them 

between the pages of a good book 

to be discovered years later when I reread the book.

I collected the leaves below over 20 years ago 

in the great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.

"Love the trees until their leaves fall off,

then encourage them to try again next year"...
