Block progress and Cats


I found myself slowing down considerably working on the Stonefield quilt by Susan Smith and decided I needed to add more fun and cats.


I needed a second version of the same block. This is where I learned that I have a lot more "random design" fabric than symmetric design. I am especially low on symmetric cat designs.


You may remember progress shots of the block on the right. I became stalled at the thought of sewing 24 small circles but once I got going I discovered that thinking about them was worse than actually sewing them. 


I was supposed to make three blocks with simple flowers with a small circle center but those evolved into cat heads.


Meanwhile, in the universe of real cats, Molly has added supervision of a neighbor cat to her supervisory duties. 


Meanwhile, Buddy is working on acquiring his license to be a princess. Thankfully, Molly has a second princess tent so we didn't have to enact The Princess Wars...certain to be an upcoming Disney movie.

  2. Molly is accepting adoration with her usual aplomb, I see. Meanwhile, Buddy's face is the epitome of "symmetric cat designs"!

  4. I love all those kitty stars! (Star kitties?)
    It's a good thing Molly invested all that time in training Buddy so she can now take on additional supervisory duties. I hope the neighborhood cat realizes how lucky it is.
