I've missed posting on my blog for the past week because I've been very busy and I'll show you what I've finished!
First, Little Miss Audrey needed a new Halloween costume and the request was for a Garden Gnome Girl.
I hope this fits the bill:
I can't wait to see it on her!

I started this more than a week ago, but have been trying to finish it up in between gnome sewing:
It's a "Spotty Hen" wall quilt 13" X 15" pattern designed by Rachel T. Pellman. It's a gift for someone that I don't think reads my blog.
Lots and lots of hand stitching on this one...hand appliqued and hand quilted.

One more Applique 101 block by Clover & Violet finished:
Actually number eight block is almost finished too - I show that later.

I finally cleaned out the button jar button I purchased at a thrift store in Florida last year.
Here is a look at my favorites:

Winter is going to be shorter this year because I'm still enjoying these roses in my yard in October:

Adore the garden gnome costume and the Spotty Hen is gorgeous. I think you and I have a thing about textured/patterned buttons. Must be something about the way they catch/reflect the light that attracts the eye.
Cheers,

The garden gnome outfit is so gorgeous. It is beautifully made.
Your spotty hen wall hanging looks great, too. What a wonderful gift.
I think it is lovely that you have the chance to enjoy your roses for a little longer.
That costume is the sweetest thing! Can't wait to see her wearing it.
The hen and chick wall hanging is very well done--nice work.
My roses are blooming here, too, but then they will until I cut them back in January.
I love your spotty hen!!! Such beautiful colors!!

What an adorable costume. :) I bet you cannot wait to see your little gnome in it. Nice wall hanging, too. You've been very busy.
That is an adorable little gnome costume. I think you've overdosed me on goodness with this post. I love that Spotty hen wall hanging, and your applique block, and those buttons too.
Audrey's Garden Gnome costume is darling. Can't wait to see a picture of her wearing it. Your Spotty Hen piece is so cute, too. Applique 101 is too fun as well. Your roses are beautiful. You have been busy.
the gnome costume is adorable. I know Audrey is going to be so sweet in it.
And that chicken wall hanging! Wow! Great job on the those tiny stitches.
Great button collection.
I really like the pink ones. Those are similar to the ones I collect. I was told that those were made in the 1940's.
Oh the costume is so sweet, can't wait to see Miss Audrey in it. I am still working on the Purple Super Hero known as Miss Star for 3 yr old Annika! And I love those small kits, I made the pig for a dear friend years ago and I know this chick will be cherished too.
Your little costume is too cute...wish I had a little one to make one for...great job!!
Your wall quilt turned out great. I have her pattern for "Snow Friends' that I purchased years ago, I think at the Hampton show...still in the bag!! You have inspired me to pull it out...thanks.
Blessings, Kathy
That is the sweetest cutest costume EVER. Can't wait to see the little Gnome in it!
