… is finished. I love this pink. I wish I knew what it was as I would search for more of it. This in itself would make a fantastic deep pink and white quilt. Working with it has been fabulous — it has a wonderful feel.
The back of these blocks is as much fun, to me, as the front. Finger pressing as I stitch the block makes the final pressing go very very quickly.
Smudge, looking reflective. Lately he’s turning into a snuggle cat at night. He glues himself to my side and it’s almost impossible to move! If I try to move him, a paw comes out to give me a not-so-gentle reminder that he does not want to be moved!
We’re going to have a glorious week, by the sounds of it, with temperatures in the 60’s. How wonderful for the first week of November! Environment Canada released their long-range forecast for the winter and they’re saying (not that I believe this totally) that we will have a mild winter with much less snow than last year. Their forecast for the summer was way off, so I’m hoping that their winter one is at least mostly right. It would be fantastic to have a mild winter.

A mild winter sounds great but, as you say, those long-range forecasts don’t mean much. Your block is stunning. I think I’d frame it with the back side showing!

Cathi, Kanga has been doing that snuggly business lately, too. Putting her paw out there controlling me – don’t move please! Sweet.

All the signs around here point to a hard, cold winter, according to those who have lived here a while. I don’t know if they’re right, but our forecast for this week is temps in the 60s, and 50s next week. And sunshine for most of it. Who knows?

As usual, I enlarge your snow crystal blocks as I enjoy seeing them up close and personal. This time however, I noticed something I never picked up on before. It looks like you snip the edge of each corner. I looked backed at the previous one, and yes, there it was again. Interesting.
