January Blues

Check it out... my 1st blocks of 2015~
And, judging by my rather small collection of blue scraps, there won't be too many more bowtie blocks made today. Perhaps some crumb blocks?
Elsa is delighted to be back in her "helper" role. So far she has batted the cover to my seam ripper under my cutting table, chewed some painters tape off my Angler 2 on the dresser, attacked some blocks on my design wall and stolen my pencil repeatedly.
All in a day's work she says... I also carry stray bits of thread in my fur just for you Mom!

  7. cute bow ties and even cuter cat. She is a wonderful helper if she can do all of those things.

    BTW - I downloaded the cat games app and my lazy 13 year old cat just loves the mouse version. He just sits and watches the pink dot and the butterfly but he gets excited and swats at the mouse. Too funny! Thanks for sharing that.

  8. How can that be? No blue scraps? Check in your fat quarters and start cutting. I am playing with blue in February. I can't even shut my blue drawer. Love your bow tie blocks. Perhaps this will be the year I finish my bow tie quilt

  10. she wants to play along side you. Imagine her at a retreat!! With all the tables and design walls to investigate. I sent your post on ipad apps to my friend Martha Ginn as she is a quilter and adopted three kittens last year. They keep her laughing.

  14. what a great idea to make bow tie blocks out of crumb blocks. Way to think outside the lines!

  15. Love your little helper! Mine usually sits on the cutting table in such a position that it makes it impossible for me to cut anything. Bowties are on the agenda for this week for me, but so far I haven't had a chance to make any.
