Good morning, my friends. It was another lazy day here at the Traveling Three Cats Ranch. I spent some more time on my embroidery, filling in most of my hoop.

This prickly pear cactus almost looks fake, but it is real.

February will end and March will start between now and the next week's to do list.  This month is such a short one, I always feel behind at the end. Looking back over February's to do lists, it was actually a really good month.

 It is happening, the lengthening of the days I mean. It is already noticeable but of course, we are still under banks of snow and will be for several more months. March can be our snowiest month here so I won't be seeing buttercups any time soon. But still, the tiny steady slivers of extra light each day add up. 

And I finally managed a photo to show why this fellow is called an Eastern Cottontail. Isn't it cute! I called all rabbits "bunny rabbits" growing up. Did you?

I LOVE hearing all your stories of repurposing projects, prepping for upcoming surgeries (good luck), and ideas for my Prince challenge. It's a process to be sure, but when you have a plan, or whatever you want to call it, life is good. I know the times I find hardest are when I have something (or multiple things) to do and no plan. Sometimes that is as simple as writing things down. 

I had several computer tasks to do, and I kept reviewing them in my head. That was taking up a lot of energy to keep track of ...

There’s something about woven fabric that just feels extra special—and this new quilt has completely stolen my heart.

A Quilt Made with Fableism Supply Co’s Charming Wovens

For months, each time I went into my LQS, Quilt Basket, I would buy a couple of half yards of some enchanting fabrics. I am absolutely smitten with them. I think most of them are from the Lucky Loom fabric line, but there are some from other lines as well. The colors are rich and dimensional, with the most incredible stripes and plaids woven right in. The purples, oranges, and ...

Yesterday, we awoke to a surprise as it had snowed overnight. I knew it was predicted for the higher mountains to the north, and saw a few tiny drifting flakes on Sunday night, but it didn’t seem like we would get much. Opening the curtain on Monday morning just after dawn was a beautiful sight.

When the ground is white, and the leaves are off the trees, it is easier to see the land. This is out our back door looking west. The drop off isn’t that far outside the fence that goes down to a stream in ...

Last night I cut the last stratas into sections and made some more Kaffe 16 patch blocks.  I love busy quilts, and I'm sure a few of you wonder why I'm not using white as every other square to "calm" it down.  I love all of the patterns in the fabric running together.  There are 2 of each of these blocks, so 18 total.

I don’t always remember my goals—maybe I need to write then down on a paper and hang it on my mirror or something! I sometimes go back to my January blog post and see what I want to work on, and that works, but you can’t beat having an actual piece of paper. 

The size is 92” x 92”, so nice and big. This top ...

 Jedes Jahr im Frühjahr geht das Spielchen wieder los... So ähnlich (in Kölsch) lautet ein Kölsches Lied. Dieses Mal geht es nicht um Karneval oder Urlaub in Spanien. Karneval war letzte Woche vorbei und bis zum Urlaub dauert es noch - dieses Mal ging es um unser MCQ-Nähwochenende in Rheidt. Das Wetter war wirklich schrecklich - für´s Quilt-Wochenende allerdings perfekt. Ab jetzt darf die Sonne wirklich wieder scheinen.
