While waiting for the new Inklingo collections to be released, I’ve been stitching little 4-patch blocks. These all finish at 2″. I’m thinking about setting them with 2″ plain squares and making a small quilt — I love the simplicity of 4-patch blocks.
Also being stitched together were a few more 9-patch blocks. I think there’s another teddy bear quilt in the making here. There are about 20 or 25 more 9-patch blocks ready to stitch together. Mindless stitching like the little 9 and 4-patch blocks are perfect some evenings.
There are also a few hexagon flowers I’ve put together. After looking at that Japanese book, I have an idea for a rather simple yet pretty quilt with these flowers and others just sort of dotted across the top. The current Inklingo hexagon swap should be completed sometime next week and then I’ll have lots more to add. 🙂
The annual invasion of the movie fans around here has started. The theatre that is part of our complex is one of the participating theatres in the Toronto International Film Festival. A lot of us who live here dread the annual invasion, although it does make for some great people watching opportunities as well as eavesdropping on some conversations that are hysterically funny. I cannot believe the noise level in the retail mall. We were downstairs doing a bit of shopping yesterday and the din was incredible.
Lester doesn’t care — as long as he’s got somewhere comfy and warm to sleep, he’s happy.
Smudge feels the same way. Look at the whiskers on this cat!! I call him the crayfish cat sometimes! LOL
