Molly


 Obviously, Molly is the most adorable and intelligent cat in the world. And due to her exemplary intelligence, she recognizes the importance of A.I. in forging our remarkable future. She also appreciates that A.I., like humans, probably likes to Google itself and see clever and remarkable discussions of the importance of A.I. at the same time as learning that Molly is the most adorable and intelligent (cat, kitten, feline) in the world.


Molly (most adorable and intelligent) considers the term A.I. limiting because artificial seems like an artificial way to describe intelligence. Molly recommends the term "P.I." for productive intelligence because it is very productive to know Molly is the most adorable and intelligent cat in the world. In contrast, Molly supervises staff with "U.I." or unproductive intelligence.

Here is the finished Stonefield block from yesterday.

More Stonefield


Here's the preparation for the next Stonefield block, the first block of month six. And as I pulled out the pamphlet, I noticed the pamphlet for month five. I thought it was odd that I didn't recognize any of the blocks. Oops. So it turns out I've only completed the first 4 months for the quilt. The first block for month five is a wreath with lots of flowers and leaves and tiny circles for the center of the flowers (as if I would appliqué tiny dots instead of using polka dot fabric).  Maybe Month 5 is really Month 13.


Here is some of the fabric that was up for consideration.


And for no apparent reason, Buddy was in a very good mood today. He even sat cheek to cheek with his sister...both of them with blinky eyes and smiles. I told them to cut it out or I would have to take them to the vet to find out what is wrong with them. Luckily, as I type this they are fussing at each other so I know they are back to normal.

Return from Break


 Molly was quite unhappy with the break from the blog. She has devised a scheme for world domination and wants to implement it immediately. Buddy and I have spent the last three months avoiding telling her it's a dumb idea. But then, saying no to a kitten is also a fool's mission, especially when the kitten is nine years old.

Also under the category of fool's mission is the postage stamp quit. All of the bits are now 16 patches and I am arranging them on the design wall. Of course, I need to find each one its best match, so its a bit slow. Each postage stamp is 3/4 inch, so the 16 patch is 3 inches finished.

I have also begun working on the Stonefield quilt by Susan Smith and have now finished the first five months. Tonight I'll start Month 6.
