My 2 sisters and me. I'm the tall one. I told my accomplice sister to tell everyone to wear a black shirt. It went with the decor. We all looked great together. Found the rubber gloves at Tuesday Morning also not shown was a zebra rug at the kitchen sink. Pink scarf and crystals hanging from curtain rod over sink. 
My sister Kathy was hosting a girl's weekend at her shore house in Sea Isle City, NJ. It happened to be her birthday the week before so I flew to PA for 5 days. I drove down the shore and decorated the place up and she was completely surprised. All the girls loved it. I used a roll of wrapping paper and a roll of black table covering to cover the windows and tables. I found most of my stuff at Hobby Lobby and Tuesday Morning. I covered the chairs also. Got the pink bead like yarn at Micheal's on sale. We laughed so much we had sore throats the next day.

This is my entrance, my friend gave me the mirror, it was originally gaudy gold and I spray painted it with flat black leftover paint. Jar full of skulls and another full of mice.

Book holder and book from antique store. Tall bottles from Tuesday Morning this year. 
I LOVE THIS! It is turning out so cool. I am using pearl cotton thread. It is outlined so far and the checkerboard has an x through each light square. I'm gonna move onto the Halloween Banner at the top and outline it then move onto the pumpkin buckets. I bought a variagated orange pearl cotton also can't decide what to do with it yet. 
I will finish this tonight also for FNSI it only needs the stem on the flower. Do you want to hear about my BLOND MOMENT? I knew you did. The other day my husband needed a ride to pick up the car at the tire shop. I jumped in his truck and he drove us up there while I was tying the little string things on my capri pants, you know, the ones at the bottom? Well we get there and I go to get out of the truck and my leg was stuck. I tied my purse handle to my pants!!! Hahaha Classic idiocy. We were just laughing. What is happening here??
See this? It is freezer paper ironed to a stack of 12 fat quarters. Cut out all at once. This is the fastest quilt I ever put together. See below for finish without borders. Unreal I love it. I have more flannels so I am going to make a few more of these because I have 4 brothers to gift with a quilt. My 2 sisters already got some. I have a slew of nieces and nephews that need some too. I promised my nephew that I would make him one when he got married, that was only 7 years or so ago. Cut it out, I'm not that far behind. hahaha 
I am putting the starting date on this so I can see how long it takes me to complete. Some of my friends ask me and I can never give a clear answer. This is all sewn together just have to put tan borders on it and finish.
This is the quilt I am making shown below only I'm not putting the circle things on it. From the book "Frightfully Crazy" by The Buggy Barn.
This is old flannel fabric that I have been saving for the right project and motivation. I made my husband a zigzag flannel quilt some years ago that took me forever to finish because I hand quilted it. Gave it to him for xmas and my oldest son promptly took possesion of it. He had it on his bed for a few years and now my younger son took it from him. I told him this is Dad's quilt so he told me to make him one out of flannel, hence this flannel star quilt. The block is the size of a full fat quarter. I cut them stacked all at once and pieced them in a weekend. Now I have to trim them all down to the same size and sash them throw on a border and 
This was the first quilt I made with 20 fat quarters of Hunky Dory fabric. I had so much leftover I made 2 more. Scroll down to see the others.
I used the leftover triangles from the first quilt and made this. I just measured the triangles, cut a white square, sewed 2 triangles to the white square and arranged them like so. It turned out to be a baby size. I will machine quilt it with straight lines. Oh yeah it is actually sewn together now but not quilted.
