October Parade....Bear's Paw a Quilt

Well aren't I the bad blogger!  Well actually been sick this month with whatever this virus thing is that is going around but I think I am finally getting back to normal.  We have had such beautiful entries this month I must say I couldn't pick even one as a favorite!  They are ALL my favorite!  Kudos to everyone for sending photos of such pretty Bear paws!

So for next month I have chosen the next project from Kathleen Tracy's book Prairie Children and their Quilts.  You can find it on page 55, Prairie Baskets Quilt!  I chose this because around this time of year I think of baskets of Harvest....and I feel so blessed to live in a nation where we can celebrate the bounty of plentiful food.  We truly are blessed!  Here is a photo of the quilt.


And now for the Parade!  This is my flimsy but working on getting it quilted. I find with small projects I want to hand quilt it....we'll see, but I just couldn't resist using these fun Halloween prints! 



First up we have a lovely display and beautifully done earth tones by Denise! Great quilting too!



Laurie used warm Browns , so soothing and I like that she did each block in one color.  Well done! Another example of excellent quilting.



Mindy in the UK used such pretty country colors, and that display is awesome! I like the big boarder being eliminated...nice take.



Mickey's little quilt is so stunning using that cheddar boarder!  Tha black really makes it pop.


Robin set the tones with a scrappy look of country colors....nice take with the blue frame!



Sandy out did herself with this beautiful version, I am really digging the brown boarders!  




Sue did a great job with her scrappy look!  Love the brown border, and that scenery is gorgeous too!

And last but not least is Terri's, I like it on the chair!  Great idea and wonderful colors!




So now you can see what I mean that they all turned out so lovely!  Great job ladies!  Can't wait to see what you come up with next month!  
I just wanted to give you a heads up......we have about 2 more small quilts we will be doing out of this book for October and November.....we will Take December off and resume in January using
101 Fabulous Small Quilts by That Patchwork Place....perhaps Santa just may put that under your tree?  Hope your all still in!  just let me know!

  2. Very pretty! I think that I need to buy myself a little sewing machine for taking pictures, they look absolutely adorable. PS - I didn't wait for Santa to bring me a copy of 101 Fabulous Small Quilts, downloaded it on my Nook. Mickey
