Grape Basket- block of the day bu Quilt Pro. Another early block for me. Funny how these blocks are returning to my life. 

I am late tonight as I got lost fiddling around with the laptop and  was unable to get this started on time. 

Father's day today. I hope all dads had a nice day. I know some did not see anyone and I am sad for that, but I hope all dads heard from their family. Ray's and my kids are all over the country as you know but we heard from most of them. I hope the other's just forgot and I hurts them LOL. I have hot opinions on days dedicated to moms and dads and the pain it can cause when you don't hear from your children. I think there shouldn't be special days and that every day should be a special day and that anyone can call on any day. We would all be happier then I think. Anyway that is MHO. and not so humble at that LOL.
I took Ray our for breakfast this morning. It was pleasant. We came home and went out later  for bread. I had a short nap time, read my e book and then we watched TV for the late afternoon. I made an easy supper and that was all we did today. But it was nice for Ray and for me. We did get a lot of calls since we have 7 children and lots of grandchildren but only Meg and Sam called Ray today.
My friend Jan called to remind me that Pot Luck is next Friday and Karen would pick me up.
I bought HELLO magazine yesterday. It is the first time I have ever purchased it but often have seen it in offices. I want to see what is going on with the Royal Family. The Queen and Prince Philip are getting on but still carrying out their royal duties.  She is 86 and he is 92 . Amazing!!
My best to Nelson Mandela as he recovers from his illness. He is 94. What stuff are these people made of I wonder. I am impressed.
That is enough politics for today.

I love this little pieced pincushion. Small block for the centre and tiny strips for the piecing around the centre and you have a tiny little log cabin block. Have fun making these. Of course you can't make only one.

How cozy is this and such a bossy cat. Have a good day cat!

Richard and Mary his eldest child, nearly 30 years ago. They both look so happy. 

We cut our paths everywhere. Or as my mom used to say cut your coat according to your cloth. I guess that could apply to quilting too. And we get out of doing things too LOL. 

And to all dads out there a very happy every day of the year.

Last picture for tonight ,  jumping through hoops.

Have a great evening folks.

Good night!
