What have I been working on lately? A small quilt made with these fabrics — but I can’t show it yet. I think I’ve been inspired by Wanda at Exuberant Color to work with brighter colours than is my norm and have really enjoyed it! The little top is basted and the quilting of it is about to begin.
On Friday, I had to go in to one of the court reporters’ offices with which I work. They were touching up some of the boardroom tables with some stain or something and the smell was awful. I was only in there for about 5 minutes, if that, to pick up proofreading and that was it for me — a headache that just wouldn’t quit and a sore throat. I know I’m sensitive to paint and things like that but that reaction was incredible after only a few minutes. How the people who work there all day stood it is beyond me!
I just realized, when I looked at these pictures, that there is a resemblance between the two boys — they are half brothers, after all.

Looking forward to seeing the quilt you made with the brighter fabrics. I am like you, I have never tried anything using brights. Maybe your quilt will inspire me to try them. Nice pictures of the cats in profile. They do look very much alike.

Hi Cathi,That little 4″ x 4.5″ sample took about 2 1/2 hours. That’s because I slowed my machine way down. And during the process, I have to take the hoop out and trim away some linen. That took much longer than I thought. But all in all, I think it is still faster than doing it by hand. š
