Many of you know I fondly call my husband my Train Brain.
He loves trains of all sizes. Recently he said he needed to pick up a new train magazine at Nick's Trains. I needed a wooden dowel for a quilting project. My Train Brain told me Nick's Trains has all sizes. We took a ten minute road trip to the Choo Choo store. I was double delighted to see Nick's and the welcoming RED Door.
If you look closely at the black arrow in the picture below, you might see a furry friend having his breakfast at his permanent feeding station under the awning in a bed of pine bark.
we love the choo choo cat... and we always remember the model world you have... and the special antenna of one of the tiny cars...
ReplyDeleteGreat applique work. ❤️ Raccoon.
ReplyDeleteThe golden rod is so pretty and we do like the cat head appliqués (although Nobby of course things a fox terrier profile one would be even better!)
ReplyDeleteI know your train head was happy to make that trip. I love the mini quilts.
ReplyDeleteI read that Gulfport, MS is building the largest model train museum in the U.S.
Your train head would love that!

Love your cat head applique quilt! Hi Raccoon!
ReplyDeletethe cat has a raccoon tail, looks like a cat/coon mix. adorable and I would enjoy a visit to the choo choo store too. those dowels are good for so many things. bob always has a few sizes of them
ReplyDeleteThat is one smart cat. We're glad to hear he can go in the shop now if he wants to. Your cat wall hangings are so cute and that is the perfect backing fabric, too!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are always so nice!!

Wonderful "feel good" story about Raccoon! Your quilts are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are lovely. Nice story about Raccoon the cat.
ReplyDeleteCute kitty. I love your wall hanging! Very pretty. You are so talented. XO
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an interesting place and I'm glad that sweet kitty has a place to call home!!!
ReplyDeleteYour new wall hangings are adorable. Glad you're still quilting!! The train store is a cute little shop - and now that there's an official Train Store Cat Guard, it's even cuter!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pam
Wow! An entire store just for trains? That is amazing! It was nice to meet Raccoon the kitty. You have some great talent for quilting. I tried to do some quilting a long long long (talking when the 4 siblings were still little and I still sewed clothes for them) time ago, but I didn't have the patience. Now I don't have the sewing machine. Good luck with future projects!
ReplyDeleteTrain stores are awesome for everyone except for Bobby Baccalieri
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone saw Racoon in the dark and that he was a racoon and that's how he got his name?? I've got that same material you have for backing on the second quilt, only with dogs on it instead of cats, and use it for scarves on dogs I groom!
ReplyDeleteYour wall hanging is marvelous! Very clever!
