A bevy of beauties, and a top!

 The babies are catching up to their momma both in size and voracious appetite.

A little sewing happened this weekend.

This is a 6-1/2" crumb square block surrounded by 2-1/2" squares, framed with left over muslin sashing strips cut 2-1/2" wide.

Very simple.  A good way to use up "stuff".  Although, I'm sure your sewing room is neat and tidy and you never have any left over "stuff".  LOL

Just a reminder to go out at lunch and enjoy this gloriously beautiful day.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

This land is your land, this land is my land, from California to the New York Island . .

Have a lovely, sewful weekend everyone.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Question: How many bunnies will fit on a carrot?

Answer:  It depends on how fast they can chew!

 

I'm working on a name for this one.  The cheddar squares help create a focal point, keeping the vast array of colors balanced.  I've learned that it's best to use 2 different dark logs in each square.  When they closely match, it causes either a bulls eye effect or a blended effect.  Finished size on this top will be about 90 x 100.  A good sized for a cold winter's night.

This is Scooter, and he/she will be ready for adoption in just 4 weeks.  It's not too late to put your order in.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . . 

"Where's my sign" you ask?

Well, actually I don't have a sign.  But if I did, it would say, "NEED HELP"!

Ideas on how to quilt this top are not coming to me.  Perhaps there's a dearth of chocolate in the house.  Dolly has that clueless look on her face, a reflection of mine no doubt.

Or maybe my brain has gone blank, which happens on occasion.  

So I'd truly like your suggestions.  Perhaps you've done one similar.  Perhaps you've seen one done.  Perhaps you'd like to see one done so you can be inspired to finish yours.  The one pattern I can't see doing is plain stippling, but all other ideas will be considered.

Here's the red tree, getting redder.

Fall is coming and with it cooler weather.  Can I get an AMEN from the balcony choir on that one!

If you're encased in a cubicle today, be sure to get out at lunch and see the leaves change.  It's good for the brain, especially if it feels blank.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

We interrupt this work day . . .

 Honest to goodness, this is what was buzzing around my house at tree top level this afternoon.

And I don't mean just flying over once, no sireee Bob, this fool circled at least a dozen times.

I'm very sad my camera could not capture the number on the side, as I've a friend in the FAA.  There must be aviation rules that prohibit this sort of nonsense.

Here's Ms. Cuteness in all her fur-less glory.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
