Long time, no post

Occasionally life gets in the way of other things, one of which is quilting. We are finally in Florida where the weather is much colder than usual so I'm staying inside and sewing. I found these patterns for wall hangings that are cats that are shaped like vegetables and fruit Above is the Boscat which as we know is pear shaped. I also got two that are an avocado and an eggplant.

One of the challenge quilts for Project Linus Institute 2011 is to make a quilt using fabric provided plus more and the theme is Raining Cats and Dogs. I have the top pieced and will quilt it when we get back to Illinois.


This is the block that I'm going to use for my final nephew's quilt. I had hoped to get all the nieces and nephews done in 2010 but that didn't happen. I hope Dr. Jim likes it. I used reproduction shirting fabrics for the light portions and quilters tweed in brown for the dark portions.

And that, my friends is how it goes on the Gulf coast. The little Christmas tree is up, the presents have been sent and I'm trying my best to be good.
