Doily, Gators and oh my!!

Needed some gators for my Crazy Quilt Pond. The top Crocodile is by Jane Ebroall. (www.janeeborall.freeservers.com) The bottom alligator is from Dianna Stevens in her book of Animal Bookmarks. He's a Big Boy!! They are both stitched in size 20 Lizbeth 138, Leafy Greens.

Finished Round 6 on Renulek's 2015 Doily. It has been washed and pinned out.

The Log Cabin Quilt has a block ready to applique this week.

I have been waiting for a few years to dive into this cross stitch sampler. It is stitched on Linen 28 ct and you need good light and a magnify glass.

Thank You for visiting me and love your comments. Looking forward to seeing all the beautiful projects people are working on at Kathy's Quilts Slow Stitching Sunday ...http://kathysquilts.blogspot.com

County Fair Ribbons

My Crazy Quilt Wall hanging is all hand quilted along the borders and on every seam of the CQ. Surprised and pleased a judge knew the work put into a CQ with the hand quilting.

I also entered a tatted doily pattern by Nancy Tracy, A needle book with cross stitch on 28 ct linen and tatted edging and my 5 pound butternut squash.

Lots of apples this year! Froze 15 qts and made lots of apple cider. Still have another apple tree to process.

I had the center finished on this Log Cabin way back in 2004 and time to finish this UFO! Went to the Sr Center to hang it on the design wall. This is how I will finish the log cabin and will add some applique to the outer blocks. Will put a border around and may be sew some flying geese to the bottom and top. Must put it on the bed to see how big it is before growing some more... LOL
