Now that we've caught up on the Tootie Babie's events for October I'll tell you what I've been up to.


I went to the International Quilt Festival in Houston! Oh my, I supported the economy! I also met so many 'famous' quilters. Alex Anderson, the Country Threads girls, Lori Smith, Eleanor Burns, John Flynn, Ami Simms...those are just a few! Wow! I saw some great quilts. Most were in group exhibits and a lot were art quilts but, there were some traditional hand quilted ones too. Those were my favorite!


In late August I decided I would concentrate on finishing some fall quilts. I finished a pillow~

a Schnibble~


Unfortunately, since I supported the economy so well at Houston, I didn't have any money leftover to make October's Schnibble. At least, I felt too guilty to order anything online (at least for a little while).

Leftover Log Cabin~




The Great Pumpkin~

Thirteen Lucky Cats~

Big Stitch quilting.

And, a label!

By the end of October I was over the fall stuff! I'm ready for some Christmas now.

First , I have to finish a baby quilt for my new great niece, Olivia, who was born on Tuesday of this week!


Remember what a mess I was in during August with my new flooring and paint? Tomorrow I'll show you how it looks all put back together!

  3. Your fall items are great ideas, but your baby quilt is the best. I might do something like that with the large name for the next baby I make one for.

  4. You surely finished a lot of projects. And so many fall ones. A treat to behold.
    I like the stitchery in your header. I like how the word pumpkin appears as part of the stitching line.
