Hanging out in Kansas from ... Cat Patches

Good afternoon, my friends. Well, it's been a harrowing overnight and part of a day since we last spoke, which explains why I'm so late posting today. We were supposed to be in Lake Scott State Park in Scott City, Kansas, this afternoon. Instead, we ended up rerouting ourselves, and we're now in Limon, Colorado. I'll explain in a bit, but let me tell you first about the lazy day we had at Wilson State Park in Kansas yesterday.

First off, Mike got out his drone and played with it some. We created this little "Hey ...

ITH Quilting done from Quilting and More...

The project I was working on the other day is now at the next stage. I’ve finished the in-the-hoop (ITH) quilting and will look to see what I have available for binding it. It was a fun project, and my replacement Bernina 790Pro handled it beautifully. The trickiest part is lining up the different blocks […]

Wilson State Park from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We find ourselves in Sylvan Grove, Kansas, this morning and at a truly lovely state park. We held off leaving our previous stop until around 11:00 a.m. in order to arrive at the new spot at check-in time. It gave me some time to work on my slow stitching. I finished off the Kitten #10.

Here are the ten kittens I have for this quilt so far.

Next up, I'll be starting on covered bridge #4 for the Grandpa's Bridges quilt.

It's hooped up and ready for me to take the ...

It’s here! from Quilting and More...

What’s here, you ask? Why, my brand-new replacement Bernina 790Pro!!!! It’s been a month since my original Pro sort of blew up, but Bernina sent me a new one that I picked up from my dealer last night. The only reason for the delay was that the local tech — a really nice guy — […]

Quilt Shop: Sarah's Fabrics; Lawrence, Kansas from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We had a leisurely day yesterday. I spent some time reading email and playing my word games. After breakfast, I spent some time on my slow-stitching. I finished stitching the tail-end of the cat.

All that's left now is to stitch the tree trunk on the left side.

I couldn't capture the whole thing in my hoop, but I stitched a little more and finished off the bottom.

And now, I have just the upper part of the trunk to stitch. I had to switch to a smaller hoop.

You might remember this pattern ...

Another Slow Day from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It was a beautiful day weather-wise. There was no wind, and so it was very still and peaceful. We listened to the birdsong and sat outside. Even Smitty got outside to enjoy it.

Our neighbors to the north moved on and took their stupid woofie with them. Smitty could munch on his grass without having to look over his shoulder.

My morning was spent slow-stitching. I stitched enough of the kitten to decide to move my hoop.

Next, I was ready to finish off the leaves and the right side of the branch.

I was still ...

A Day for Slow from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Happy Mother's Day to all who celebrate. Well, it was a lazy morning yesterday. We were moving slow. The kitties put us in the mood right from the get-go.

I spent a little time on my slow-stitching. I did a little more in the afternoon.

Before I go on, I want to say we've seen several butterflies flit through our campsite. As I've mentioned, it's nearly impossible to get a picture of a butterfly. They rarely light anywhere, and it does no good to chase them down. I found the two pictures ...

Working On Embroidery Today from Quilting My Way

This morning, I took my time getting to the grange. I took my "goldwork" piece with me. I wanted to see if I could finish it. I wasn't feeling great when I left. But I wanted to be with friends.

I am happy to say, I finished the project! I have more unfinished projects out there, but this was so much fun to work on. I like it!! The center is beads and I wanted to make it look full but not overly so.

I brought it home to see if Patrick could put it on the trinket box ...
