After logging off work yesterday I decided to sew my cobblestone blocks together. I had prepped them on Thursday.
I got 10 done before this happened! Yes, he was sitting on the last prepped block. So I moved him to get to it.... which led to....
If you want me to move, I'll just move to here! That will teach you! Yes, I did sew the last 4 blocks with him there. I even sewed all 14 together with him there.
Another row of cobblestones completed. Bright green, orange, teal..... could one hope for purple in April?
I marked my quilting onto the cat and mouse which got loaded to the frame this week. I hope to start hand quilting this today... if not tomorrow while both kids are at Grandma's. The boy is going for his overnight. I guess our social distancing includes the grand parents. My FIL is coming over today since we have not seen him in a few weeks *** He just called and said since they are warning people to stay home he will stay home today. Now to see what Grandma wants to do... ***. We try but they are adults .....
School break ends Monday night and they are starting school from home on Tuesday, and online schooling will begin Monday March 30.
Other than going to Grandma's - last /Sunday to retrieve kids and Tuesday night to visit. I did pop to the local quilt store Tuesday to get bottom line thread since I forgot to stop on Friday and I am nearly out. Thursday was a quick pop to the vet to get Sophie wet food for her kidneys as she was not eating her special dry food. You have to get 24 cans the same at Chewy so I prefer to get a mix for her at the vet.
Thank goodness we have a nice big yard with a pool for the kids to swim in. They planted their sections of the garden this week. I have been taking one or the other with me on my walks around the neighborhood sometimes too. Now to get them to weed the various flower beds..... which will be harder since we saw the black snake and a rat snake in the yard this week! Seems I have to go out with them now... just in case. Yes, they do realize I dislike them as well but somehow if I am out with them they are safe? Don't they realize I'll run inside and leave them to the snake? Silly kids.
Linking up with the RSC today. Are you hanging a quilt outside today for National Quilting Day? I'm going to have the kids hold up my scrappy Trip quilt for photo's today but I don't think I'll leave that one outside..... it is too big and would drag on the ground. I might hang one of my other ones out off the kids swing set.... so the traffic going by can see it.

I can't believe that cat stayed there like that - they are really weird creatures at times I haven't had one in such a long time. It is hard to keep kids away from the grandparents and I guess they need to make their own decisions - Mike and I are 67/68 and so far our kids have not been telling us what to do i think I have been telling them what to do more so far LOL
how cute!!! thanks for the laugh this morning. The sun came out here finally, after days of gray gloom and a foot of snow in "sunny colorado" so your snoopervisor and the sun lifted my mood.

Oh my goodness, your cat is do hilarious! Love that! Are your kids going back in the buildings? Around here they are closed into mid-April. I'm not sure what's going to happen after that. I imagine their grandparents miss them when they don't get to see them!
Your cat so cute!. My Darla (who looks like your cat) loves to help me sew, too. She loves watching me wind bobbins or will even sit in my lap while I run the machine. We are not visiting the grands or any family members until this thing is over. We are in contact daily with everyone through technology.
OMG!!! Thank you for the HUGE fit of laughter, Deb. Silly, cat!!!
I love your helper--I had one cat who was nearly like that!!
love your cobblestone blocks--good job well done--and I think purple would be nice for April--and it will give me a chance to go online shopping--as I don't have many purples!!
Happy National quilt day--
luv, di
You know why your cat did that, dont you? You obviously weren't paying her enough attention!
Happy national quilting day! Enjoy your switch to distance learning. This week is our transition week as we try to get all of our teachers trained and ready. It is going to be so very odd to not get to see my kids again fo a while.
Oh my goodness! Your cat is a hoot! Serves you right that you are using the cat tree as a design wall. LOL.
I have a cat who "helps" me sew....he is old and craves a warm lap for his naps. So i am not getting as much done as i would like. But you are making progress!
Oh, I used to have a cat like that! I'd usually end up sewing one-handed because I needed to hold down his tail with the other - he was always flicking it at the sewing machine needle while it was whirring along. Thanks for the giggle!
Your cat is hilarious and your blocks beautiful. I can't imagine how you managed to get 14 blocks sewn together with such up-close scrutiny! Have a great week!
