The one where I wanted to make a Calendar Quilt

I have a vague vision of a Calendar Quilt, but the image keeps changing!

I was tidying the sewing room (to make room for all my new goodies) when I found 4 embroidery blocks that were the start of a calendar quilt a long time ago (January 2013!).  But I decided I didn't like them.

I also found a whole load of 2.5" squares in assorted colours, and in low volume shades, and I found a pretty but empty box

So I sorted the squares into the box

I made the first of the new Calendar blocks (this is for February)

I have decided to 'lose' the previous blocks (does anyone want them before they become filling for a dog bed for Battersea Dog's home?)

And I have a tidy shelf in the sewing room (sadly one tidy unit, 6 not-so-tidy units!

And my secret sewing last week has been delivered and is in use!!!!!

Quilting For Cats

Our cats understand that they are not supposed to go on the sofas, but they are allowed to sit on quilts.  They use 'people' quilts but today I got the urge to make them one for themselves.

I had an orphan - Sizzix cut hexies and triangles that were machine joined about 18 months ago, then abandoned.

I sandwiched and quilted it: mostly straight line quilting, but with a detour to echo the coloured star shapes

And once it was bound it was immediately used!!!
