Tiger's Game With Work

Yesterday was a fun day spent with my hubby and my work mates.  

My boss chartered a bus and we all went downtown Detroit to Comerica Park for a Tiger's game!  

I am not a huge baseball fan but I had a lot of fun.

First is the gigantic charter bus and all the snacks and drinks (I only drank Diet Coke though).  

I am trying to get better about taking people pictures when we are out and about.  

Here we are on the bus.

I'm sure you all know my fascination with cats on a good day but how can you beat all these amazing tigers everywhere you go at this stadium?

These two are on top of the stadium.

As are these two

This guy is right out front!  He is my favorite!

We stopped in at a shop and they had this vintage "take your photo with a Tiger" so I did!

Here we are under the gigantic stone tiger.

I love this tile work so much.  Wouldn't this make an amazing quilt?

A tiger carousel.  Ah, yes please! (I'm totally riding this next year!)

Tigers lit up to the baseball ferris wheel?  Amazing!

Us at Comerica park?  Priceless!

Someone even got our lab put up on the big screen!  How fun!!

It was such a fun day.  The Tigers won, the day was overcast but beautiful, just the right temp!

I was tired but happy after my day at the ball park.

GO GET EM' TIGERS!!!

Fox Quilt is Finished and Gifted

I worked like a fiend to finish the Fox quilt for the baby shower last Saturday.  

I had all the quilting to do and then the binding. 

 The shower was in the morning too.  Here is how things progressed.  

I wanted to make straight lines so decided to use my Hera marker to mark the lines.  

You can see the lines in this photo, they are more of creases.  

It was a little difficult to see them during the quilting so not sure I will do this again.  

I may resort to my trusty masking tape!

Autumn was helping as per usual.

I used invisible thread but in hindsight I might have liked regular cotton better for the background.

I will probably use that for the other fox that I need to quilt.

Supervising the binding.

Here is a cat free photo of the finished quilt.  I LOVE how this turned out!!!

I had this backing fabric in my stash so decided it would be perfect for a fun backing.  I have enough of this to back the other fox in too.  YAY!

Here is a photo of Khali opening the quilt.  

Sorry the photos are so dark, but you get the idea.  She was pretty happy with this.

I also made a chenille blanket using Detroit Tigers fabric and

 the signature navy and orange for the chenille. 

 I love how this came out and will make more of these in the future. 

 Maybe one for Mott.

I am linking up to Finish It Up Friday.

Have a great weekend!!
