Working on My Prim Flying Geese Quilt

The triangles are still pinned as I work on aligning the rows and such and taking another picture to see if I like the arrangement and the fabric choices.  I see one triangle now that needs to be replaced or shuffled to a different spot.

Bailey is making it difficult to get that last row straight.  He could be out on the roof enjoying the sun or watching the birds, but he'd rather be in the same room with me.  The background is a black brushed cotton with a white pinstripe from Brannock & Patek.  The applique will be a challenge on the large background unless I end up cutting it into sections.  

Wanting to get the Collector Series basted for quilting, Bailey has other plans.  He's a sweet Burmese, very shy.

It's All About ME

ME, I be little.

ME, I be bigger now.

ME, I be excited, someone is making something for ME.

ME has my own wool mat.



Bailey

I love my Mum!  See my smile.

This is me feeling comfy.

This is the other side of me feeling even more comfy.

Bailey and Progress on the Wool Purse

Bailey makes me laugh, no matter where I am, he's watching me.  Here on a chair in my sewing room he's watching while I pin baste a quilt on the floor.

Found a vintage Brannock and Patek fabric from my stash for the lining of my wool purse and hopefully will have enough for the wool hat the matches the purse.

Bailey

 Baby, it's cold outside. 

 Mum opened the screen so I could soak up some rays on the roof.

I'm so comfortable and

 sleepy.

I got hot.

Waiting to hear a thud

Could Bailey get any closer to the edge of the bed, keep waiting for him to fall off.  He knows he's not suppose to lay on the fabric, well, maybe just a tiny bit of it.   Never fails that I get a design laid out on the bed, he'll jump in the middle and do a cat dance all over the pieces, and I have to start over.

That's another cross quilt to start.  Different shades of muslin and Jim's shirts to start cutting.  My neighbors, Iva and Vern had been so kind to Jim and me. When I showed them one of the cross quilts, I could tell they would like to have one.  Iva had flown out from Pennsylvania when she heard that Jim had come home on hospice and spent the last two days with him before he passed away,  telling him stories about the wildlife, and I knew he heard her, a twinkle came into those beautiful eyes of his.  So I'm making them a quilt for one of their beds, have to complete it soon before they leave for the winter.  

Quilting Complete

 Finished the hand quilting on Primitives Circles & Stars, glad I could complete the quilting as fast as I did, at least for me.  Now to add the binding, will probably use one of the orange red plaids to highlight the border.

And then my sweet Bailey, he's hot and perturbed.  Sidney has his spot in the cool window.  I was quilting near the window and he wants to be near me.  So he settled for just being in the room, that eye is slightly open, keeping an eye on me and Sidney.

To those on the East Coast who are waiting for the hurricane, be prepared and stay safe.

Hot in Montana

Or at least my Burmese, Bailey, thinks so. It's really only 80 degrees. And then why do cats insist on sitting in the sun when it's already hot.

Just got back from town, the river is way high, actually see some houses and businesses on the river getting ready with sand bags. Still lots of snow to melt and we are at flood stage right now.

After waiting and talking to my insurance company, and then my Cobra people who now over see my insurance, I was at the drug store, the clerk put a fan on me so I didn't hyper ventilate when they said they didn't have me in the sytem, and then oh, yes we do, just hasn't been updated.

So after that, just felt a need to run into a quilt store, figured out I didn't have enough muslin strips to finish Jim's Cross Quilt. So in luck since this quilt store doesn't carry much except brights, she had a nice tea stained muslin that I will be able to use for wider borders. Less expensive than I paid online.

And then half price on her beads and embellishments, just had to buy a couple of odd looking sea shell like buttons, tiny, except flat with one hole at the top, will be perfect on any Sue Spargo project.
