The Zombies!

Well, I should be quilting as I have customer quilts waiting, but then a 10 year old (in one week) showed up for a few days and we happened to run into the book entitled " Zombie Felties" and she was so intrigued with the idea of these little animals as zombies (who doesn't like zombies?) so we bought the book and here go making a zombie duck and a zombie kitty. They even have a clip art coffin to copy onto card stock and fold and tape or glue to make perfect little beds for the zombie animals. I am ordered to make the next ones when the 10 year old goes home and to mail them to her as soon as I get them done. Those next in line are the Zombie Puppy, the Zombie Bunny and the Folklore Zombie. I sure can't wait to make more Zombies! :(

The duck with the bullets from the shooting range! What???!!!

The Zombie Duck.





The eyes sewed shut like all good Zombies have.


The Zombie Kitty in her coffin.

Kit's Over The River Quilt

Kit took the challenge of this fabulous quilt pattern and she certainly did a great job! Hours of work on the embroidery and piecing and then she chose the quilting pattern called Candied Ginger for her love of gingerbread men. This will add to her collection and it certainly personalized the quilt and people will know who made the quilt. Great job, be proud of this one!

The snow scenes neatly done!












The quilt was quilted with Dyed natural thread color.


The polka dot backing really shows the quilting pattern!
