Two days home since the week-end getaway, and still nothing much accomplished but a couple loads of laundry and a little grocery shopping. Hopefully tomorrow will be a sewing day.
A suprise in the mail from Corry (Dutch Blue). She sent me one of her clever, makeover tote bags. You can never have too many tote bags. I had asked about her moo cards and she offered to send me some. The tote bag was an added bonus. She also made the cutest little card. Corry shows her tote technique here.
With permission from Jane Monk of Tasmania, I wanted to share the tutorial she has on her blog about perfect placement of applique pieces for the Dear Jane blocks. I know there are several of you working on your blocks now so I thought you might find this link helpful.
Several years ago, my cousin, Mary, made me this Mr. Pumpkin Man. I sat him on the chair in order to snap a picture for the blog when you know who decided HE wanted to sit there. Jasper is now snuggling Mr. Pumpkin Man.

Cute tote bag...now I may have to make ANOTHER one!!

Thanks for sharing the tutorial on the Dear Jane applique--what a clever way to center the applique! I'm going to try it!
Wow, I hadn't seen your blog before and I'm so glad I've found it! A finished DJ top? I'm in awe, it's absolutely gorgeous! The anniversary quilt is beautiful too. Sorry about the Tigers...our Phils didn't do too well yesterday. I'm also a Yankees fan, a result of living in NY for 9 years, so hopefully they'll win today. I'll be back!
Love the pumpkin man! Mr. Cat is the perfect color to go with him, too. =)
The tote is just darling, thanks for the tutorial link!
I love the tote idea. Kitty is so cute with Mr Punkinhead!
So you have got a tote bag from Corry like me.
Sorry, Judy S. is really me. I forgot to change from her blog to mine before commenting!
Jasper is so cute- Mr Pumpkin is very cool too!!!
Cute kittie and Pumpkin doll :)
Nothing like an orange tabby cat. :) My Simon seems to be much like your Jasper when it comes to being in the middle of the action.
