Melva released the latest block today and after a trip to visit my FIL and then a visit to his house to check on the handyman and pay him, and a lunch date with hubby at Millers Ale House, I got home a little before 2PM. Doggie, kitty and chicken tending and some pool checking and I got a little time to check blogs. I forgot today was a release day but I was looking forward to this block. I had fun picking fabrics and sewing this one up. All 7 blocks are put back onto the shelf with the box of the jelly roll I am using. Linking up with Melva and her fun sew along.
This photo is sideways, but I needed something as a leader and ender and had cleared off the house block things when I pinned the quilt last Thursday. I cut some 'ends' of the purple and creams and made some 2.5 inch four patches. Then I dug into a bin and found these extra's from cutting out Brimfield parts from a charm pack. I'm trimming them to 2.5 inch hst's and will just sew them into sets of 4. No plan, but making use of extra bits.
Greg and Emily finished off the Cat run on Sunday and other than me and Aidan grabbing the cats (while the dog is shut in a room) and placing them onto the run... the promptly run right back into the master. We will see how long it takes them to try it out. We did have one fail, one shelf needed some help to keep it into the wall. Turns out the bit above the slider is solid concrete! Em had fun drilling through that! Greg did a little modification with suggestions from Aidan and it appears to be holding up better. Once the cats start using it, we will see how it goes. I need to rehang my quilts and the hangers that were taken down to put these up.
