I'm having a spurt of patience and clear understanding of pattern directions lately. In trying to make the most of this all too seldom occurance, I've been sewing and quilting like a madwoman. I love the way this Catty Phone Holder turned out. The pattern was at the American Sewing Expo last week. When I saw the sample, I had to buy the pattern and try one. The directions and illustrations were very well done and you can also buy a dog and ladybug pattern.
This morning I attended Busy Hands and Carry All Chicks at The Quilted Cottage. Breakfast is included with the Busy Hands project for only $5.00. We had quiche, banana bread, donuts, grapes, melon, cider and orange juice. Today the project was a crocheted necklace. I think everyone who attended finished and wore their new accessory home. The new Minick & Simpson fabric line called American Primer had just been put on the shelves, so I had to get a bit of that, too. The shop is celebrating its first year anniversary by giving their loyal customers 20% off total purchases. How could I pass that up?
I've been mostly doing stitchery patterns in the evening while watching the playoff ballgames. I'm almost finished with Helen's wonderful armchair sewing caddy.
Jim's been spending much of his time in this apple tree. One day he was picking apples and noticed Jasper sitting in the tree watching him. So far, he has picked 16 bushels of Golden Delicious Apples from this one tree. We've never had that many in other years.
Remember to leave a comment on the Fall Into Fall Giveaway post. The deadline isn't until October 14th.

Boy you've really been a busy lady.
I love all of your projects and how could you pass up 20% at the shop.
How does your husband get such beautiful apples? Does he spray?
You've kept yourself busy alright! I love the cat phone holder, never seen one like that one. And look at all the apples...yummy!
Hi Jeanne,
It's been awhile since I was able to stop by for a visit. I've enjoyed catching with your blog. Congrats on your 200th post and sorry to have missed it.
The cat phone holder is adorable. :-)
Hi Jeanne,
Just love your phone holder.
I so want this pattern. This is so gorgous. Do you know how much it is and how much to send to Australia.
Ohhhhhhhhhh! So beautiful your catty phone holder!!!!!
Love that cell phone holder. You will love your thread bag. I have one that a friend made for me and I could not do without it. One little bit of advice - put a piece of nonslip foam under it as it tends to move around. Beautiful quilting!
I love all your projects, especially the little phone holder. Too cute.
You sure have been busy!! You do beautiful work!! I hope I can do as well with some practice!!
Great projects to keep busy with!
I can just smell those apples! The cat phone holder is just precious...
I would love to have an apple tree.
That's such a cute phone holder, Jeanne, much cuter than the one I just ordered! What are you going to do with all those apples?
Those apples look scrumptious!
Wow you have been a busy bee! Nice job on everything. Thanls for sharing.
The Catty phone holder is as cute as can be. Would make a great gift for a cat lover!

I love that kind of busy!! The arm chair caddy is beautiful and I love the phone holder!
Are you canning the apples??
Beautiful stitching on your sewing caddy! Tell your hubby to be careful on that ladder!
I saw the pattern for the cat cell phone holder some time ago, and thought it was the cutest thing. Yours turned out so nice. You have indeed been very busy. As has your husband picking all those apples. I bet there is some applesauce in your future!
Such a darling little kitty*s*
What will you do with the apples? Do you make sauce? lots of pies?
Hello Jeanne, The cat phone holder is great. What do you plan to do with all those apples??? Congratulation on your 200th blog posting. Hugs Judy in Western Michigan
Wow! Love those apples! Thanks for visiting my blog and entering my giveaway. Your name is in! Good luck!
Holy cow - you are one productive quilter. Love the Catty phone holder as well as your log cabin and armchair caddy.
Bet it's starting to get pretty chilly up there in Michigan.
I'm a Clevelandgirlie, but now live in North Carolina. I always get homesick for Ohio this time of year!
