OMG: It's a Finished Flimsy! from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It's something of a red letter day. The sun has moved into the propurr position for Smitty to get his morning sunbath. When I left him downstairs just now, he was grooming himself. When one is settling in for a nap, one must have every single strand of fur in place.


He's looking pretty self-satisfied, isn't he?

Happily, I've finished the quilt top for The Story of My Day, and I can move on to something new. I didn't really expect to finish it when I made my way to the ...

41 Years Ago Today from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It's a red letter day at the Three Cats Ranch. Please join me in wishing a very happy 41st birthday to this handsome young man.


Matthew is my youngest, but don't let his age fool you into thinking I'm old. See, I have a strategy for staying young. When I reached the age of 50, I started counting backwards. At this point, I'm just 30, and so it's something of a miracle to have a child older than I am. Yeah. That's my story.

Projects Old and New from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We've been having some beautiful spring weather for the past several days. Occasionally it leaves us and rains for a few days, but then the sunshine returns. It's a hopeful time of year. We're expecting rain to begin again today and last for a few days, but spring is just a little over a week away. Don't worry, my friends. It will come.

There was plenty of kitty help in the sewing room yesterday. The Lightframe quilt was ready to receive its next row of blocks. Each row starts with six half ...

Putting together the Cowboy quilt and other updates from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome back! I couldn't wait until Thursday to post these updates since I wanted to make the Table Scraps Challenge and my March One Monthly Goal (OMG) deadlines. As well, I'll be out of town for a few days and have extended last week's Free Motion Maverick's party for a week. Please keep linking up there

Cats Rule the Day from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. I'm happy to report that our water woes from yesterday were over about two hours after discovering the problem. Before I even finished yesterday's post, Mike was on his way to the hardware store to get the part he needed. It was a quick fix, and the water was back on with no more problems. He's my hero. While he was gone, it occurred to me that I couldn't even brush my teeth, and I really, really, really wanted to. I found an open bottle of club soda in the refrigerator, and ...

OMG: A Finished Quilt! from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We have a couple of nice weather days going on right now. The temperatures have warmed considerably, which is very much appreciated. It was a good day for sewing with bright sunshine streaming in through the windows. I started my sewing day taking the first stitches on the third of three blocks for "S" is for Sew. (There are nine blocks in all, but I'm only doing the first three for now.)


From there, I was itching to finish off the Vintage Linen quilt binding. And there it is...a finished quilt.

Fifteen Minutes from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing super fast this morning. I have just 15 minutes before I need to jump in the shower and get ready to head out for my monthly pedicure. Honestly, I wish I was staying home. I seriously considered canceling yesterday, but then decided to go ahead with it. So, here we go. No fluff. I hate to write and run, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

There was time for some slow-stitching before we headed out for the grocery store yesterday. I finished the first of three blocks I'm working on ...

Monday's Moves from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. How's everyone doing? Things are pretty slow around here. We're doing our grocery shopping today, and I'm getting a pedicure tomorrow. The energy level is going to need to pick up some. I was all set to take a walk on the treadmill yesterday, but I was discouraged when the TV wouldn't play my latest Ken Burns documentary...The West. And, obviously, I can't walk on the treadmill if I can't watch television at the same time, so what's a person to do? Well, I vacuumed and dusted. I ...

Great Outdoors is Great Again from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It's a frosty and cold morning here at the Three Cats Ranch. Freezing fog was in the forecast, and that's exactly what we got. We still have patches of snow left from last week. Now, everything is coated with a slippery sheen. I don't know about you, but I'm staying inside today. The last thing I need is to slip and fall and break another bone.

Let's talk about yesterday, shall we? With Mike's help, the Great Outdoors quilt was snipped and washed. I'm really happy with how this ...

Scary Sewing from Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Everyone remain calm. There's no reason for you to be scared. As for me, yesterday's sewing could best be described in a single word: "Gulp." I'll tell you about that in just a minute, but let's back up a few steps. When I left you yesterday, we were contemplating the trip up our steep snow-covered driveway to the main road. Could we do it? And let me just skip to the exciting conclusion: YES!!! Only, just hold the celebration because it only means we're going grocery shopping. Sigh. We encountered nothing ...
