A black cat there
Black cats are prowling everywhere!
Well I think I have gone feline crazy this Halloween season!
I have to admit I take to a theme like a dog takes to a bone.
Have you noticed that? Hee ! Hee!
So do you want to see some of my cats? Unfortunately my pet cat is no longer with us, but I still can enjoy quilted and stitched felines.
My porch is all decorated with Halloween coziness. Great Grandma Annie' quilt, pillows and a jack -o- lantern bucket, but oh bummer no treats. Well I do believe I need to remedy that situation soon; then I would be all set for some porch stitching. If you would like to see a closer look at Great Grandma Annie's quilt, just click the colored text.
Did you notice the black cat pillow? I made it years ago from 2 old sweaters.
Earlier this fall season the foyer sported lots of crows, but the crows flew out and the cats moved in when October rolled around.
I always enjoy decorating this area for the holidays and you know me - I cram it full with lots of clutter which makes my heart sing. Please excuse me if you see any dust bunnies ; they are not supposed to be there, but they do hop in for a visit every now and then . 😀👯
The small Halloween tree is decorated with a fall leaf garland from the Dollar Tree , black and white ribbons and an adorable black cat garland from the Dollar General .
Lots of Halloween quilts are draped over 3 thrifted shutters. I enjoy displaying some of my small quilts here. I will be sharing a closer look at these quilts soon.

Lots of black cats are prowling on the bookshelf. The little mustard yellow riser is one of the drawers from my Granny's dresser. It stays on the shelf year round.
Most of the things I have had over 20 years in fact you may find some of my children's toys among the black cats.

The small mug rug was made from bright and cheerful crumbs. Boo is one of my designs from ages ago.
Happy Cat looks perfectly content sitting on this shelf. I loved stitching him in 2021.
There is a new cat prowling about in the neighborhood . It is called Little Black Cat Stamp.
I used similar colors that I used in Happy Cat.
The chenille trim that I used came from the Dollar Tree. The chenille is 100% polyester and the skein has 65 yards.

The bottom of the old shelf is sporting some of my old brown crocks and pitchers. Normally, I have a lot of my 1980's & 90's wooden decor and crafts here. Hmm maybe next year there will be more cats on these shelves.
Of course, I have to have quilts hanging on the doors.
The witch has was made in 2021, and I attached a Dollar Tree witch feet door knocker from the bottom of it.
All Hallow's Eve is one of my quilts from 15 years ago or so. Oh how I love a smiling black cat . Don't you?
Well, y'all that's my country clutter episode for the week. Wheew did that make your head spin? Hee ! Hee! Mr. Pinker would say , "There's a lot to take in isn't there?"
Thank you for the sweet visit and have a wonderful weekend.
As always...
Happy stitching, y'all
