RSC Week #20 - No more PINK... from Grandma's Red Needle

...I said, in my previous post!

I have admired the Hollow 9-patch blocks some of you are making and since some 2-1/2" pink squares were hiding on the table, I decided to make a few blocks

I got 3 blocks

I've been lurking at Pat Sloan's '182 Day Solstice Challenge Blocks' for some time and I really love how her quilt turned out. Isn't it pretty?

Today (Thursday) I decided to jump into it and make a few pink blocks! It doesn't harm to use up more stash, does it?!

The Reveal: Freckled Frog from ... Cat Patches

Good morning my friends. It's time to reveal my quilt for the "Patterns in Nature" prompt. My quilt was inspired by the Northern Leopard Frogs we encountered while hiking in Fort Ransom State Park in North Dakota. This is my original photograph. You can see more pictures from our hike at that link I've given you.

Initially, I didn't see how I was going to recreate him with the fabrics I had available. Then, I came across a swatch of this McKenna Ryan fabric in my stash. Doing a quick internet search, I was able to find ...

A Finish and a Start from Cat Patches

How is your Saturday morning going so far? Maybe it's too soon to tell. I won all my word games this morning, and so I can only assume it's going to be a good day. We haven't been to the grocery store yet this week. Last night, Mike and I schemed out a way to avoid going over the weekend. As it turns out, we have enough frozen leftovers and enough staples to get us through until Monday. And all I can say is this: A week that ends without a single trip to the grocery store ...

Nothing But Sewing from Cat Patches

There was one housekeeping chore on yesterday's calendar, but then I realized I had several days coming up that were open. It gave me a little flexibility, and so I can rearrange my housekeeping calendar to accommodate my sewing. Not that I would ever hesitate, but you know...somehow it seems legal to put off until tomorrow what could easily be accomplished today. Sewing obviously takes priority over everything except dispensing kitty treats.

Speaking of kitties, Sadie still isn't happy with the pink striped binding on the Snow Globes quilt. We had quite a little discussion about it ...
