90 Degrees in October?

90 degrees in October?

Why yes it is.




That's why we are smiling.

That and we took a ride in the Viking this afternoon.


And watched the sun go down.
It was just beautiful.



I finished a couple of blocks for October in my Modern Block Party.

The queen of October is using these blocks to make a Patchwork Chevron Quilt.

Why is it, that every month I make these blocks I want to make the quilt?

These girls have great taste in pattern and colors.

The weatherman is saying this warm weather is going away.....
How sad.
I'll miss you warm weather.
Until we meet again.


P.S.  Don't forget to check out the blog hop going on over at Sew We Quilt.

Wicked Wendy has the complete schedule HERE for the Black Cat Crossing Blog Hop.

Black Cat Crossing

Welcome to my stop in the
Black Cat Crossing Blog Hop
sponsored by


Everyone is welcome to visit.
It's really not haunted.


Except maybe this spider....
yuck


The black cat family is arriving to make this house a home.


Add a little furniture


and a house becomes a home


The fabric in the house and furniture is Maywood Studio Black Cat Crossing.



The house was made with a few modifications from McCall's pattern 8346 from the year 1982.

Thank you Madame Samm and Wendy for this wicked hop!



Please visit the other wicked blogs of the day and leave lots of wickedly wonderful comments:

Joy from Sweden

Once in awhile a day comes along that just
ROCKS!

I could give you a list of everything that went right today,
but
the best was this:

I received an e-mail awhile back from Britt-Inger over at Hill Valley Quilter 
showing her version of my can-can dancer template
on a party purse.

Her quilt guild was having an exhibition and she made the purse as part of a challenge.

She showed it today on her blog (Click here to read all about it)
and
it really made my day.


I just love her little party purse.

It's so fun to see something I thought up in my head used by someone else so beautifully.

I think I like Britt-Inger's Can Can dancer best
and 
I've made a few...







Thank you, Britt-Inger,
we may be across the globe from each other
but you were able to bring sunshine into my day.
