Cats,China & Embroidery


I could hear strange noises in my sewing cabinet the other day. Upon investigating discovered one of the cats had decided it was a fine sleeping place. Just had to take photo of Garfield looking all cosy in his chosen spot. I recieved an email from the lady i bought the Crinoline china from wanting to know if i'd like these 2 pieces before she listed on eBay. As you can see i said yes. Then yesterday Gail posted part 2 of her delightful Christmas BOM & i just had to do it. Of course my other sewing got shoved aside. I was busy embroidering part one of the lovely basket BOM from Anne. I've decided to do both the redwork & applique versions of the baskets. The redwork is nearly finished & the applique for part 2 is prepared.

Very nice china pieces. Your Bom looks really nice. I can feel my back hurting looking at the way he is lying there so comfy.

Love the picture of Garfield. Olly gets in some funny positions too sometimes!
Your Merry block looks great. I enjoyed stitching mine too.

How could you say no to those extra pieces. Cats love to keep you guessing where they are having a cat nap !

 At the start of March i had this pile of blocks. I couldn't get my head around how to turn all these differing block sizes into a quilt...
