i know i would get alot more sewing done on my quilt if i didnt have 3 cats climbing all over me when i am sitting in my chair. working on this quilt has really helped me move through the days. every block i pick has a reason for being in the quilt. i will write something to go along with the quilt when i am done and hopefully it will stay with the quilt when i am long gone. i always wonder about the history of some old quilts, but with nothing written down all you have is the beauty of it to admire.

i am spending a couple of hours today getting some quilt blocks ready for the week. i need to do this during the day to make sure the colours are right together. i am planning on 20 different blocks with 1 large central block with a house on it. the laying out of the blocks will be very exciting. i was thinking of asking the ladies at the retirement home for advice on placement. they have been watching me make this quilt for months now.

the little pots i ordered for laurens birthday are almost ready. she will get them after she comes back from montreal, about a month from now. i just hope she will like them. they are more expensive than i thought they would be , but i did order them, so will buy them.

did my shopping today, got the usual, cat food cat litter etc. even found some marked down greens for the rabbit. he ate all the big handful i gave him.

later...

i did some photocopying and got groceries. the photocopies are for the next quilt i am setting up. still a take along project. i have decided on yellow for the background. i figure i will need about 4 or 5 meters just for the blocks. this will be very different for me as the pattern pieces are so big and the over all blocks are 14 in plus seam allowence. so i think i need a bigger small box...lol...
