slow day

http://henryglassfabrics.blogspot.com/2012/10/sentiments-sampler-quilt-block-one.html

The start of a new sampler.  It is a nice block but I can't find the instructions. So here is what I see . All the sections of the block are half square triangles. If you make each piece  2 1/2  inches , 2 inches when sewn together you'll have an 8 inch block.  Here is the block.
If anyone can find the instructions let me know. Ah click on the word here which is in blue.


Good the October banner just showed up. It is free so pick it up even if you don't plan to do it right now. After a while they cost $$$.

Seasonal pumpkin just in time for Halloween. time to make it I mean. I hope you enjoy this one. You could also make it into a Jack O'Lantern by adding eys and  mouth as  applique.
 
Ray and I did nothing today. I did a lot of sleeping for some reason.
Could that be "tired"  LOL.
So I have very little to report tonight. We were going to visit Washington state today but neither of us had the energy to get to the car. Haha. But tomorrow should be a better and we have lunch with Bob and Buzz as an incentive. We need something to give us a push.
I know it is Tuesday and my sewing day but both my driver friends are unavailable.
Richard called from Calgary this afternoon. He started his new job which is actually his old job on a new contract. He also found a new doctor and has an appointment with a specialist for his bainful back very soon. I did not take the call as I was "sleeping" but I am happy for him on all counts.
Haha maybe if you lived with me LOL. but Margaret would love to have you , you cheeky thing!
Takes you back a ways doesn't it? I like the dog application. Or should I say dog app.  but from me to you "Hidey Ho".
 
I'm kind of in cat mode tonight. This cat makes me think of Jim when he was young. He was fascinated with my knitting. I happened to be working on a complicated lace sweater pattern. I came in and found my knitting all snarled , off the needles and a complete mess. I was distraught because there was no way to fix it. All I could do was take it all down and roll the wool into a ball.  I never started that one again, it took far too much concentration to do the pattern. And who knows what might have happened to it another time . LOL.
 
Rose in a creeper race. apparently shw was so busy looking at all the other little creepers she forgot to start. That is Rose on the right at the back LOL. The mothers were enticing them with cell phones . I should think something to eat wouls be a better enticement. Smarties for instance LOL.
 
More Autumn beauty and for sure that will not be the last picture show. :))


I just love these two little kittens doing their stretches. Just natural for them to do yoga.
I think maybe that is why cats are so relaxed. Or maybe it is because they have attitude. They are the boss!!
 
 
Some red and white blocks and one a very interesting one at that. Have a look. My granddaughter Kate in Toronto received the quilt I sent toher. She has always loved it and I don't so it went to her. She is happy about it LOL. And so am I !
There it is the pattern is Turning Twenty and the fabrics are fruit and vegetables. I thought it would be a fun quilt but ended up not liking it but my granddaughters like it and Kate got it.
So that is it for tonight folks.
Have a lovely evening, we are expecting high winds tonight, Suits me LOL.
Buona Sera
