Halloween Finished

 So, I got a cute kit from over at Blooming Prairie in Mt. Vernon, and it is this pattern. But I also have a small pile of Halloween fabrics and it's mid October.....

And I have this helper....

SO I got it all cut out and worked it out....

Got busy on Freddie and got it done in time to send home with DD to enjoy before the big day.

It was a little windy, but I went on! This one is about 63"X75", so a cuddle up on the couch size. 

I free motion quilted this time-no computer here!

And I pieced the back with some more of the spooky prints I had on the shelf.

It's a good looking quilt I think! DD has a blanket ladder at her house in the living room and I think this Halloween quilt will look good there for the rest of the month anyways!

And the binding is good too! I'll be making the original kit from this pattern next. 

Oh and here is the trick or treat crew...

Is he the cutest dragon ever?!

He was supposed to be spiderman, but he was not having that costume, so here's the cute dragon-the costume was a hand me down from one of DD's coworkers, and it's a really nice costume!

And the big kids are ready to go too!

Spiderman and the dragon-off they go! It's pretty cold and a little windy so the costumes are a good thing!

Where Did October GOOOOOO????

Where did October go? I can't believe we're deeply into November already! 

Saturday the 26th, we had this in the driveway. 

Turns out Hubs has pneumonia and got to stay in the hospital for 3 days, He's home and doing much better now.
 

This little fella spent some time at our house......

Awww, so cute reading his book.....

Turning the page.....

Oh, that's enough of that! Done reading!!!

Such a cutie in his little overalls.

And the whole crew went Trick or Treating. 

Two bears and teens being something....as teens are known to do.

It's A Lot

 So on Monday my Dad had a stroke. Thankfully, he was at home and my Mom was able to call for an ambulance. The local hospital administered the MIRACLE DRUG, tPA. And he then was transported to University of Iowa Hospital.

And yesterday he was sitting up, eating and talking almost like normal.  He's lost a lot of time, he doesn't remember what happened and he never knows what day it is, but he's doing so well! So that's been on the top of the list of stuff going on around here!

Halloween happened!

This cute dinosaur and Spiderman and a PJ clad tween all came over to trick or treat.

I'm not too sure Dylan was into it!

Spiderman was all over it though!

There, that's our boy!

I got this quilt done, 

The fabric came as one big piece with printed fat quarters. I got it on the MO shop hop, I'd never seen anything like it before, but it was pretty cool and very nice quality fabric.

As you can see from the pattern, I made a "design choice".......that means I put it together wrong, but who's going to tell?

Here it is all done.

A quick meandering quilting job on this one and TA-DA!

I like the way it came out!  I have another finish, but I gotta go get caught up on laundry!
