cloth or fabric


 http://bit.ly/1h5ybfr


The question was... What would you make from this fabric? Lots of colours in this pack. I would make a ? Oh heck what would I make?

Download now as a pdf pattern


Indiana Puzzle, composed of a Friendship Star which is made up of half square triangles for the star and four patches in the corners. It should be an easy block to make.

Today is our grocery shopping day and that was all we did. The rains came down in torrents and the wind was blowing but it is supposed to get worse tonight. Right now it is calm . I am looking forward to the upcoming storm. Crazy eh!
Storm Signal is the name of this one but I cannot find the pattern.


So this afternoon I tried to send something to my printer. I cannot get that thing to work no matter what I try. The reason I bought this one was because I could not get the previous one to work .Really! Printers are an anathema to me. All I want to do is print off a pattern that I bought  on line today to make a mug rug for Halloween.

But I did have a bit of success , I cut the binding for my table runner and sewed the pieces together and did a bit on the blocks for the Guild. Big deal eh! but I count every little bit that I do as worthwhile. If I do just a little bit every day rather than try and do a lot in one day. It all adds up to a finished product eventually. 

Then it was done and time for dinner. We had spaghetti and Ray's sauce which is the best ever. 
Adam we are watching a story of Saint John on 16 by 9. I guess you will probably miss it. It shows many of the old streets of the city. I remember you takin us down some of those streets and to TIm Horton's for the very first time. I had never heard of Tim's before.  It took a while to get down to the west coast . It was so enjoyable to go there with you. Good memories.
I took no pictures today so there are none of mine to show.
But I do have a few other ones to share.


How adorable is this picture Mom and Baby. Mom does not look so happy but the baby sure does. These are absolutely beautiful cats with shimmering white fur.

Such a lovely heart quilt and the border is most interesting. It is not the Greek key but it reminds me on that design.
Remember Cat in the Hat, well this is cats in the box. Oh my how cats love a box to play in.

What a great table runner, Squares Flying Geese and Stars. A good combination. However no pattern and it seems to be the order of the day right now as I have this great block called Storm Signal but no instructions.

This one should be reasonable to make if you use 3" bits an hourglass, a square and half square triangle all three inches. As for those pesky triangles  Cut  a big square in half, I cannot get the measurements. I know most of you are smarter than I am so go for it and let me know.

See all those books on the shelves? They are selvages off the bottoms of fabric. Quite clever I think.

People over on the North Shore find these guys in their garbage cans hunting for food. 

Five puppies each with his own bowl. 
No need to editorialize.

This is an oldie. I remember riding in an old buckboard like this with my uncle on the way to his and my aunt's farm, not the most comfortable way to travel.

This is it folks. I am very tired.
Good night.
Have a lovely evening.
