Couldn't leave the Halloween Cats quilt that my sister Joanne made and gave me out of my autumn decorations. Don't you love it? It's made from a Georgia Bonesteel pattern.
The quilt behind the kitties is my "Endless Autumn" quilt. I spent 11 years working on that quilt until it was finally finished. It's featured in Quilts for All Seasons from Oxmoor House. The book is out of print now, as is the Georgia Bonesteel book from which Joanne got the cat pattern.
Andy and Jesse, with the help of Jesse's friend Chris, got all moved in yesterday. We swapped out some of the furniture here for some of Andy's furniture. I finally got rid of the king-size bed that I never wanted (making up that bed is like making up the state of Kansas), swapped it to Andy for her queen, which is much easier to make and looks great in my bedroom.
I'm going over to The Little Yellow House this afternoon for a viewing. And, yes, I'm taking my camera.
Thanks for the comments on the photos yesterday. Debby asked if all those steps at The Yellow House were bad on the fibro. Oh yeah, Debby. When I bought this house, I had no fibro of physical infirmities. Funny how stairs and steps don't send up red flags when we're healthy and just looking for a house we like. And now? I think I'd rather deal with the stairs than even think about moving.
Remember all you UFO busters, tomorrow is progress report day. I hope someone has something to report: I don't.

The Halloween Cat quilt and the Endless Autumn quilts are both delightful and I'm so glad to showed them to us as Part Deux of your show and tell!
I have a couple of 8"x10" picture frames on walls here and each holds a seasonally rotating group of greeting card, many of which are 5"x7" and fit, with matting, into larger picture frames. It's a delight to glance about and see something seasonally appropriate on the wall along with the usual portraits, snapshots, and such.
Cheers that Andy is all moved into her wonderful new home and that some helpful furniture swapping came about in the process. Count me in with those who are looking forward to a peek into her happy home!
No UFO progress here ... sigh! I am making progress on the Christmas tree skirt and it's still October, so that's a plus!
Hugs!

I adore both of the Autumn quilts, but especially love the Cats quilt. I'm going to have to look up the pattern. Your decor is so inviting and lovely Susan. Thanks for sharing. Hugs...

Ahhhh! Beautiful, Autumny quilts! Made my DAY! I loved ALL the quilts from the previous post as well. In fact, I love everything about the Yellow House. Well, except those steps. They look brutal. I agree, tho'. Having just moved 3 years ago, I'd deal with steps over THAT anytime! Can't WAIT to see the Daughter version of the Yellow House! I know it will be as homey & wonderful as the Mama one! LOVE YOU!

Susan, I just might be in love with your Endless Autumn quilt.
I'm there with you about making a king-sized bed. It is quite a job.
