What Have I Been Up To?!??

Hi There!

What have I been up to?

Well, let's see....

Saturday morning, Gilbert and I did our Saturday errands. Once we got back home, I went to work on my spider blocks.


And all day Sunday, I worked on these blocks.

I can now say that I have 3 rows finished and pieced together.

I've got 3 more rows to do, before we remove the paper, on the back and Gilbert starts quilting this lap/wall quilt.



Saturday evening, Gilbert and I watched a movie and I put a base case of ivory, on my Dear Jane wooden blocks.
(more to come, later)



I think I already mentioned, but we have a few stray cats, hanging around outside. Gilbert and I made the mistake of starting to feed them and now, our stray population seems to have grown, unfortunately.

Most of these cats DO look like strays, but recently we've had THIS one come to our back door.

Riel, a blogging friend, came by yesterday evening and exclaimed, "Oh, that's a gorgeous Himalayan cat!"

HUH?

Never heard of such a cat...





This evening, since I had the wind knocked out of my sails and I didn't want to work on my Spider Quilt, I decided to work on a (kinda) new project.

I had picked up this quilt kit 5 or 6 years ago.

10 bucks for a queen sized quilt top.

Its made with non-shop quality fabric but it was a good idea and good price, at the time.

Not sure what I'll do with it.

But, in one evening, I managed to sew 7 rows!

Half way there and I didn't even break out in a sweat!

LOL



Hope you're having a Magnificent Monday!

Rosa

Wowzer, you're sure zipping along on your projects. I love your Spider. It just keeps looking better and better with each new row. Addictive, ya?!
Your "new" kitty is beautiful! What name have you given her?
Hugs,

I love your quilt you are making.... in Amerika Samoa I did the same thing you did, one cat turned into two and then three etc...

Hi Rosa,
your spider web quilt is looking very good already. I bet you have made a few more blocks by now. I also like the siggie-birthday-quilt you show in the other post, you really collected a lot of birthday siggies for that one.
