Woke up extra early this morning, so was able to finish the second of two shop samples done for the LQS. I get to spend one more carefree (albeit very busy) day working there today, too, before the Grim Reality of the Duty Job rears its (no kidding) hideous head on Monday. I do not know how I will force myself to go down there. But for today, quilting! This is the second sample, nine pumpkins snowball-block style, set three by three. Aren't the colors heavenly. A variety of jack o'lantern features will go on their faces for the shop kit, but I drew an applique design using the same 9 (pulled from my stash) as a background that begins with my black cat Jack (from stash...hey, it's almost all stash so far) and that has pumpkin vines, blossoms, and one pumpkin as a little pumpkin fairy house. That the cat is checking out. And there will be a little pumpkin fairy. I'm hoping to get my own top done tomorrow and some more of the appliques cut out.

This is very cute. Will this be a kit at your store? If so, do they have a website?
I'm not even a "cat" person and I'm charmed by the black cat quilt... really cute...
wonderful colours in this cute quilt. Love the cat on it. So perfect for the upcoming season. Wow....it's soon autumn.
The quilt is adorable! Gets me all excited for fall.
Love the quilt. Halloween is just around the corner. It will be here sooner than you think and here you are getting ready already.
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! Love the little cat...a pumkin fairy?! Now that is intriging!
Oh Karen, that pumpkin/cat wallhanging is to cute...but I REALLY can't wait to see YOUR's based on this one, only with all of the appliques!! :>
I like your plans for this one, they sound a bit different. It looks great already.
Love that black cat Jack! Love the colours too.
Lovely colours and just love the cat. Great little quilt. :-)
Ooooo I love the colors! And it's quite clever to use the snowballs as pumpkins. They look like it, but I never would have thought of it. The cat is great, too -- really seems to be paused to investigate.

That curious kitty is just darling - can't wait to see when it's all done.
