More Spooling Around

 Today some single spools paired off, while some pairs became foursomes. And now that I see this picture, I realize I need to extract the red stripe spool with the gray background (bottom left) because its easier to remove now than later.

These are the single spools still looking for a friend.

In other news, Sheepish (the sheep quilt) won second place, viewers' choice (in its category) at the Clark County Quilt Show. I told the sheep it did not beHOOF them to BrAAAAg, but they all pretended not to hear me. (If you suspect that a pickle dish quilt won first prize in the same category, you would be right.)

Lights and Darks

I have a lot of medium value microspools for whom I could not find a pairing with enough contrast. So I have made more very dark spools and very light spools. But maybe it's just that I can't stop making spools.

Meanwhile, I am seriously thinking of changing the name of this blog to The Objects of Obstruction.

Easy Does It

Here are four blocks that Bonnie Hunter used in her leaders/enders called Easy Breezy. However, I only considered making it when I saw it on Kathy's Quilts. I love how she made the colors move across the quilt.

Hexed

Tula Pink's new line Moon Garden was a bit of a challenge for making hexes...the animal images are large and spaced out, but I didn't want to drill a hole in the middle of the yardage. And speaking of animal challenges, I have joined the migration from a bird app to a mastodon app. 

Buddy worries that I will ask him to start thinking blog posts again when what he really wants to do is work on the launch of his Purring Podcast.

Apology Accepted

Some days just disappear. You realize the highlight of the day was Buddy playing with his Flurff...a butterfly attached to a spinning disk. However, maybe some jokes were made at Buddy's expense so he rejects my request for a photo recreating the scene.

But some times, apologies and bribes are made and accepted.

Boxed In

 Today, a box of two-patches became four patches. But it is a small box.

A Molly-sized box.

Going for a Swim

 Time to bring the seahorse project back...happily I already had the pieces...but unhappily I realized half way through that I had changed the pattern and had to refigure that out...and now that I am looking at it online, I realize I left off a corner in the tail,..

I'll let the seahorse with the misshapen tail swim with his friends, until he sinks to the bottom of the design wall.
