Halloween night


Happy Halloween all.

I know it is late but blogger wouldn't cooperate with the pictures. So now it did. I guess, better late then never.

Our Jack-o-lanterns looks great in the dark don't ya think?

The next 2 pictures are of my Mom's little Gardner with the pumpkins in it. I would of almost been willing to just leave them be.

As for quilts ---- In a blog I did last week I mentioned my quilt , Grandma. It is a wool 9 patch quilt my grandmother made. I don't really know the year. My guess is after the early 1950's because I recognize some of the flannel on the back as the same as a nighty my grandmother made for me when I was about 4 (1954). The binding is from scraps from a robe she made for my father. I could probably name each scrape in the back, some in the front also.

I find the back almost as interesting as the front.
By the way I didn't really see the 9 patch pattern until I had taken this picture. All the years that I have looked at this quilt and snuggled under it.

What a sweet garden! I absolutely love your wool quilt- it looks almost exactly like a couple that my own dear grandma made- and you're right, the back is fabulous!
