Relllllllllaaaaaaaaaaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Like this afternoon, Lestat  often joins me when I am sewing......and as you can see he likes to "help". His quilt (his tail is on it) is a Chook Shed design and one of the first quilts I ever made.  Even though it is hard to believe looking at this picture, he does quite often sit there as I'm sewing.  I coax him onto there with scratches and pats.  Once he is settled, he sits there for quite a while and often doses off as I talk to him.  The snaplock bags have the Leader and Ender pieces in separate bags.  They are divided into dark and light 1 1/2 inch squares, three block strips which are separated into two bags - light or dark in the middle.  There is also one solitary nine patch.  When it is not being critiqued by Lestat, (He often makes a bee line for it when he jumps up on the table and manages to sit on all of the bags at once.) it lives in the bottom drawer of the chest of drawers under the desk on the bottom left of the picture.


This is my progress on The Two of Us.  I've cut out all the pieces and am half way through the piecing.  I plan on working on it a bit more tomorrow.  I may even get the top finished.  I'm planning on quilting it in the ditch, using bamboo wadding and binding it with the blue fabric that is in the bottom right hand corner.  It is one of those patterns which the blurb says can be finished in an afternoon, but I would be at risk of losing my Slow Poke Quilter status if I did that! lol  That's the tablecloth I finished recently on the back of the chair at the top of the picture.  I have a personal craft shop study where I keep all my craft supplies, but prefer to spread myself out in the family room to quilt.

ah cats. I don't think one can call themselves a serious crafter without an overlord/supervisor cat in the way!

I really like how your quilt is coming along. :D
