Hi!!!! Hope everyone is doing well!!!  Has everyone had that strange cold that is going around?!!!!  And does it ever go away?!!!!  Above is a block I made, actually the second I made for The Bloggers Block of the Month over at Peach Patch Quilts!!!!  It is called fun in the middle and my fun is kittie kats!!!! Love them!!!  I did not cut it right the first time and one fourth inch is a mile in quilting isn't it?!!!!  I thought I did much better on this one!!!!  I am getting better at my fourth inch seams when I have it cut the right size!!!!  The second month block is up-churn dash!!!!  Don't you want to come have fun too?!!!  Come on over!!!  Come on over!!!  Follow the Peach Patch Quilt button to the right!!!!  Have some fun!!!!

Ok!!! Not bad!!!! Right?!!!!



Hi!!!   Well here is a start!!!  Cute cat fabric!!!  No pattern!!!  Just me giving it a good old fashioned Carla Try!!!!  There is a boo boo on the back though!!!  I sewed the grey piece on with the back seams going the wrong way!!!  I haven't got the seam ripper out yet!!!  Not sure what it will be!  But I have more fabric so!!! It will be something bigger eventually!!!!   I just started cutting and sewing not knowing where I was going!!! Afterwards I realized if it had been planned I could have done less cutting and sewing had I used some strips here and there!!!!  I usually do learn the hard way!!!!!  Good news though my grand daughter picked it up and said aw kitty kats!!!!  So it will be loved!!!! 

Don't forget to visit Leafs me happy blog hop!!!!!
The tree on my side bar will take you there!!!!!  Ha Ha!!!!
