The Day After.....

The Race….

What a wonderful Halloween we had this year.
It started off bright and early with my oldest daughter’s Spooktacular Race.
Here she is all in charge,
It was freezing out there!!

Here they are getting ready to run...

My three runners...
Mr. Fabrics, Middle daughter, Youngest daughter...

Then there was the Goblin race, hard to see but that is my SIL and TT running the race too!!


It was such fun time despite the cold and so well run that is now going to be an annual event!!
Maggie and I would like to thank everyone that sponsored her with monetary donations and with thoughts and prayers. We are so grateful for your kindness!!

Edit...

A huge thank you to all of my mom's blogging friends that donated to our race. It was a huge success and we were able to raise thousands of dollars for the family in need. love you mom, xoxo

Now that was just the morning!!
The rest of the day was spent with family and friends coming and going for Halloween.
We did have one special Trick-Or-Treater this year!!
Our little lion... His costume was a little big, but we think he was the cutest lion ever!!!




I hope you day was filled with family and love too!

Might enjoy seeing my Red and Aqua Disappearing Nine Patches. Here are the 25 12 ½ inch squares. I think they look great, I love this color combination.



In fact, I loved it so much, I played twice!

This is how 200 6 ¼ patches look!!

All the blocks that have arrived are just beautiful. These blocks when mixed together are going to make spectacular quilts!!

My Baby....

I made my baby….

A sleeping bag!!!!
Now by
NO MEANS
Is this a tutorial!! I just wanted to show you my project.
First, I made my own fabric!! I took soft flannel and a cute cotton print; I machine quilted them together in a grid pattern. Now, for me this is big time, as I do not machine quilt. I just so happened to have the perfect color of pink thread! (thanks T).


Next, I lined my baby up and cut my newly made fabric to fit…

I then sewed the top to make a smooth seam, sewed the other three sides.

I now have a tube, turn her inside out

and some embellishments
and my baby is now safe and sound!!


Now, what have I read in the past few weeks, I went onto my Kindle, picked bestsellers and recognized the name Dan Brown. So, I read..
The Lost Symbol
My rating 3 out of 5 stars.
I just finished..
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
My rating 4 out of 5 stars.
Today I loaded a sample of the Oprah book club selection; I have yet to read the sample, so I am not sure what my next book will be. For sure, I am going to check out all the wonderful suggestions you have given to me.
I LOVE this baby!!!
