Projects Old and New from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We've been having some beautiful spring weather for the past several days. Occasionally it leaves us and rains for a few days, but then the sunshine returns. It's a hopeful time of year. We're expecting rain to begin again today and last for a few days, but spring is just a little over a week away. Don't worry, my friends. It will come.

There was plenty of kitty help in the sewing room yesterday. The Lightframe quilt was ready to receive its next row of blocks. Each row starts with six half ...

Putting together the Cowboy quilt and other updates from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome back! I couldn't wait until Thursday to post these updates since I wanted to make the Table Scraps Challenge and my March One Monthly Goal (OMG) deadlines. As well, I'll be out of town for a few days and have extended last week's Free Motion Maverick's party for a week. Please keep linking up there

Cats Rule the Day from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. I'm happy to report that our water woes from yesterday were over about two hours after discovering the problem. Before I even finished yesterday's post, Mike was on his way to the hardware store to get the part he needed. It was a quick fix, and the water was back on with no more problems. He's my hero. While he was gone, it occurred to me that I couldn't even brush my teeth, and I really, really, really wanted to. I found an open bottle of club soda in the refrigerator, and ...

OMG: A Finished Quilt! from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We have a couple of nice weather days going on right now. The temperatures have warmed considerably, which is very much appreciated. It was a good day for sewing with bright sunshine streaming in through the windows. I started my sewing day taking the first stitches on the third of three blocks for "S" is for Sew. (There are nine blocks in all, but I'm only doing the first three for now.)


From there, I was itching to finish off the Vintage Linen quilt binding. And there it is...a finished quilt.


It ends up ...

Fifteen Minutes from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing super fast this morning. I have just 15 minutes before I need to jump in the shower and get ready to head out for my monthly pedicure. Honestly, I wish I was staying home. I seriously considered canceling yesterday, but then decided to go ahead with it. So, here we go. No fluff. I hate to write and run, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

There was time for some slow-stitching before we headed out for the grocery store yesterday. I finished the first of three blocks I'm working on ...

Monday's Moves from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. How's everyone doing? Things are pretty slow around here. We're doing our grocery shopping today, and I'm getting a pedicure tomorrow. The energy level is going to need to pick up some. I was all set to take a walk on the treadmill yesterday, but I was discouraged when the TV wouldn't play my latest Ken Burns documentary...The West. And, obviously, I can't walk on the treadmill if I can't watch television at the same time, so what's a person to do? Well, I vacuumed and dusted. I ...

Great Outdoors is Great Again from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It's a frosty and cold morning here at the Three Cats Ranch. Freezing fog was in the forecast, and that's exactly what we got. We still have patches of snow left from last week. Now, everything is coated with a slippery sheen. I don't know about you, but I'm staying inside today. The last thing I need is to slip and fall and break another bone.

Let's talk about yesterday, shall we? With Mike's help, the Great Outdoors quilt was snipped and washed. I'm really happy with how this ...

Scary Sewing from Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Everyone remain calm. There's no reason for you to be scared. As for me, yesterday's sewing could best be described in a single word: "Gulp." I'll tell you about that in just a minute, but let's back up a few steps. When I left you yesterday, we were contemplating the trip up our steep snow-covered driveway to the main road. Could we do it? And let me just skip to the exciting conclusion: YES!!! Only, just hold the celebration because it only means we're going grocery shopping. Sigh. We encountered nothing ...

The Reveal: Daisy Mosaic from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to February. I'll tell you about yesterday's sewing toward the end of this post, but first...the day has arrived to reveal the "Mosaic" project for The Endeavourers art quilt group. I'm happy to say the group will be continuing on for at least another year. "Mosaic" was the last prompt selected, but we have a whole new raft of prompts to start off our new art quilty year.

For this project, I wanted to try a technique from this book by Timna Tarr. She has a page on Facebook, and ...

Back to the Day-to-Day from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Isn't is great when the holidays are over? I like spending time with family and eating good food as much as the next person, but geez. I always reach January 2nd feeling as if I'm on holiday overload. I'll be glad to have the roads and stores less busy, and I'll be glad not to be making preparations for the next celebratory thing. Of course, there's lots to do between now and then, but I know my thoughts are going to be turning toward our trip to Alaska in May. Our ...
