Henrietta Whiskers

Meet Henrietta Whiskers.  This was a block of month by Bunny Hill Designs in 20ll.  Blocks were made a few years ago, the squirrels, crows and stars are wool appliqued using a  blanket stitch.  
Eventually I will use a wool bat and hand quilt.

Tatted Crinoline Ladies

Tatted Crinoline Ladies ready for crazy quilting or attaching  to a needle book. The white one is size 40, pattern by HAJ. The yellow and pink are size 80, pattern by Pam Palmer.  They are 4" from hat to toe.

Santa and Tatting

Christmas will be here soon and Miss Ella needs a Christmas stocking. My niece will be 10 months in Dec.  German Belsnickle is needle punch and appliqued to the stocking.  The pattern was designed by Cathy Sowers of Four Ewe Farm. It worked up quickly, about 5 hours.  

 This tatted edging looks like hearts and will be the trim below her name.

This is the 3rd batch of cherries and the last. The rest are for the birds who can reach them better than I!!

 

Happy 4th!

Ship Blue Nose, Rabbit hooked rug, Tatted CQ Rat and Willie

 

  The Bluenose is one of the most famous schooners in the world. She was built in Nova Scotia in 1921, and sailed the fishing banks off the cost of Newfoundland until she sunk on a reef near Haiti in 1946 in 1946. She was the centerpiece of Canada’s exhibition at the 1933 “Century of Progress” exhibition in Chicago, and its likeness is still found on the Canadian dime. On the quilt block, the Bluenose schooner is surrounded by a wreath of Canadian maple leaves. The wreath halves are joined by a stylized crown which is found on Canada’s national emblem.



 

Ms Rabbit, the Flag Lady is finished. It is a hooked rug wall hanging.

Bday gift for my sister. These are so easy to make up, just think about a Christmas Tree with them. It is a tatted snowflake with a bead in center. It is attached to the bracelet only at the top. The rest is free standing and when hung in a window on a sunny day, it just sparkles light all over the room. For it to hang U need to tat a small circle with Ps and chain down and connect to the ring and back up attaching to the first P. That will create a hanger insert. It is tatted with size 40 Lizbeth thread.
The pattern is "First Snowfall" by     Robin Perfetti   tattingbythebay.blogspot.com

Oh my, they look delicious!!

Thank U Mom for the treat!!

Finished another Crazy Quilt Hexie. Under the strawberry plant is a beaded white Rat eating a strawberry!

Memorial Day, Ship Block and CQ Cat

I would love to see the Draft so these young people have more respect for our country.

My Dad was a navigator and made it home from WW2 but many did not. He was shot down in France and some of the gunners in the belly of his plane didn't come home.



 

The next ship block.  The Bluenose is one of the most famous schooners in the world. She was built in Nova Scotia in 1921, and sailed the fishing banks off the cost of Newfoundland until she sunk on a reef near Haiti in 1946 in 1946. She was the centerpiece of Canada’s exhibition at the 1933 “Century of Progress” exhibition in Chicago, and its likeness is still found on the Canadian dime. On the quilt block, the Bluenose schooner is surrounded by a wreath of Canadian maple leaves. The wreath halves are joined by a stylized crown which is found on Canada’s national emblem
