More Zen Stitching and Free Motion Mavericks from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome! I did some hand-stitching on a sampler that I started in Karen Turner's class last week. We had lots to do!  I finally found the fabric to bind the Floral Fusion wall hanging that I started last September with Denise of the Quiltery. There's going to be a finish in the near future!

Between Birthdays from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We awakened to bright red skies this morning. 


Here's a shot standing in a little different location. Rain's gotta be on the way, doncha think?


And today is Mike's birthday, which means yesterday was a day between birthdays. We've already had our traditional breakfast of Eggs Benedict this morning. He gets it on his birthday and on Father's Day.


And this birthday business...oh my. One day you're teenagers meeting for the first time on the day he graduates high school. Then, you barely turn around and you're both ...

A Beary Small Start from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Before I sat down here, I needed to top off my coffee cup. I have a lot to tell you today. It's going to require a full cup. Since yesterday was the reveal of my Tula-Tu quilt, I'm a day behind on the usual goings-on here at the Three Cats Ranch. By all means, everything that happens every minute of every day must be fully documented. I'm sure you understand. 

First, thank you to the many of you who left such kind comments about Tula-Tu. If you missed her, you can read the ...

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. 

A couple of years ago, his ...

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 ...

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 ...
