and since it's only the 28th, I can still show you one last Christmas quilt. It's an older Red Wagon pattern and is based on a fragment of old quilt found by the pattern maker. I didn't manage to get Christmas quilts hung this year. So it' on my bed for the picture...LOL...and it just amazes me how fast my "picture"
changes. I had snapped the first one, and before I could add a close up shot, look who "invaded"? Yup, she's becoming a full fledged "quilt cat". *VBS* and I love it!! A cat on a quilt is just the best!
I snapped the close up anyway. This quilt has been shown before, last December. If one of you gals would be so kind as to email me, I'd love to know how to do the "linking directly" to that post thingy. The original pattern is templates of the various triangles, but based on a rectange(any size you want) I'm sure those angles could be rotary cut. In my comments, someone...I think Pauline..but I didn't go back to check, asked if the shoo fly quilt on yesterdays chair post had been shown? Yes, I'm happy to say, it was shown and explained on Nov. 15, 2006. So glad you asked *VBS*Laundry, dishes and making some bean soup await me today. On Saturday, the 30th, a big get-together with all 5 of my kids, and if I'm really lucky, I might have all 8 grandsons and my one granddaughter in the same place at the same time...*S*S*S*S*S* It would be a first! An incoming blizzard warning is already circulating, says we will have rain, freezing rain, sleet and then heavy snow beginning Friday night. I see CO is braced for yet more snow. I hope the weather guys are wrong. Saint Cloud, MN is about 3.5 hrs from me. I will drive the 1.5 hrs to my oldest DD's house and right the last couple of hours with them. I no longer drive after dark, nor in snow, due to increasing loss of vision. I will have to stay over Sat. night and pray I get home on Sunday.
I hope all you gals who will challenge themselves with UFO again in 2007 are counting and listing them...*G* I've still gotta do that! Watch out Linda J. probably more "stuff" coming your way...*VBS*

Finn, Ms. Ebby is absolutely priceless--I love how she has to not only try out each of your quilts during photo sessions--but that SHE's such a camera junkie! ROFL My Homer Kitty is NOT cooperative with the camera at all! LOL Love that little quilt, BTW. And Oh I do hope the weather will cooperate long enough for your trip and time with all of your family! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! *G*
Well, blogger ate my first comment, logging in! Cats jobs are to hold down the quilt so they don't get up and walk away, right? She's doing he job very well!
Have a safe and enjoyable trip Finn!
Ebby's figured out that if the camera is out you must want her to pose :-) Hope you have a safe trip, and a wonderful visit with the whole family.
Wishing you a safe trip and cooperative weather - sounds like a perfect way to celebrate the arrival of 2007!

I sure hope this makes sense to you. Let me know if you need more help.
Patti beat me to it!
Yep, it's snowing again. You'd think it never snowed here! People are freaking out and just buying out the stores. You can't buy milk or snow shovels. LOL!
I'm keeping all my fingers and toes crossed that you have your whole group together this weekend. What fun *s* I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for the photos.
Love those old Red Wagon patterns. I just purchased a 'vintage' book on eBay for my stash.
Ebby is definitely a quilt cat! How could she not be living with you? I grew up an hour away from St. Cloud. It's a nice city to live in. Drive safe and have a Happy New Year with all your children and grandchildren.
Finn, I just love your posts and seeing all your antique quilts. Aren't cats just the most entertaining and amazing animals. A Happy New Year, be safe on the road to visit with your family.
Safe travels, Finn! Enjoy your family time. Thanks, Patti - I was going to try to explain it, but your way is much easier!
I have a "quilt invader" too, but mine is my little son - yup, quilt invaders sure are fast! At least yours doesn't know how to use scissors - LOL!
Safe travels and happy visiting to you finn! And - just to let you know - I hardly ever drive after dark and try to avoid driving in the snow too!
Cheers!
Evelyn
