Giveaway at Green Fairy Quilts

Check out the most wonderful giveaway at Green Fairy Quilts!  And say hello to baby Noah (he is a cutie!). There are some wonderful fabric lines coming up from Moda this spring. I better start saving my pennies.

What are your favorites?  Do you pre-plan fabric purchases of fabric lines you like?  Or just wait to see what inspires you at the shops? 

Monday's Questions

Question 1:  How did I not post this weekend?  Beats me. I was all over blogland but didn't stop by my own blog.  I had a very productive weekend though. 

Went on a walk to enjoy the little bit of local autumnal-ness after a too hot and dry summer



Worked on my Groovy Girls homework (need to get a photo though oops!)  Yes that Bad Melisa gives us homework and bribes us with punches in our Groovy Girls punch card (she is so clever!)

Made two Seuss-ful pillowcases

 And finished up Bonnie Hunter's Christmas Lights mystery from July 2009. Just in time for her next mystery coming up all too soon. 
I am proud to say that I made this all from stash. 

Also did all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, yada yada yada boring stuff....

Question 2:  What was the most overheard saying at my house this weekend?
Edgar! Edgar! Edgar! Edgar! Edgar!

Question 3:  Who was a bad puddy cat and got into all kinds of trouble all weekend? 

See question 2. 

PS:  I know he looks sorry but he's really planning his next mischief.
PPS:  We just love those bad ol' puddy cats.

Blog Hopping and Schnibbling

Yesterday was a day off work for Veterans Day.  I spent the day catching up on all the blog hops going on (whew there is a lot! and it's exhausting!!!), finishing the quilt top for November's Le Petite project, and working on a Schnibble quilt.  A very productive day off!  Here's a peek of the Schnibble. 

Pattern is "Scratch" 
Fabric is Moda "Fandango" by Kate Spain. Love it! Really interesting patterns and colors.  The colors remind me of Fiestaware dishes.

I hope to get this basted and quilted tomorrow along with the Nov. Le Petite project.  More show n tell tomorrow :)

Veterans Day

Honoring and remembering all the veteran's and their families. Thank you from a grateful nation.

Still Life: Four Cats

I love this photo of all four cats catching some late afternoon Autumn sunshine.

They also arranged themselves alternating black cat and tabby. 

Sort of like an hourglass block.  Is my quilting influencing them or do I just see quilt blocks everywhere?

I left this photo unedited in photoshop because I like the light patterns.  Please ignore how I need to wash my windows though... 

Guest Blogger: Morpheus' Favorite Place

Meeeeoooow!  I am Morph and this is my favorite place--curled up on the couch in a quilt nest next to Mom while she works on the laptop.  If she types with one hand and snuggles me with the other, it's even better.  Sometimes, I don't let her get up and protest if she gets up anyway. I am the only cat who gets to sit in this spot because I am the oldest.
And the favorite.
