I completely got off track this weekend as far as stitching goes. Friday night I worked on Red Delicious apple cores, Saturday I did some stitching on the machine (!), the results of which I’ll show later in the week, but yesterday? Yesterday I played with the new Inklingo Lite collection of the shapes for a 12-inch Drunkard’s Path block.

Drunkard’s Path is one of my favourite blocks. More curved piecing!! I love playing with all the variations. I decided to use these fabrics in honour of spring and am going to call this quilt “Giddy at the Thought of Spring”. I’m undecided whether I will do all the blocks the same or use a variety. Here’s the first 12-inch block done, Whirling Arches. It will be another lap quilt.

What a glorious Sunday we had with temperatures near 4!! I know it was a teaser but we needed that after all those days on end of -20 wind chills. We go back to the -20 wind chills mid-week but at least we had that one day. I had windows open for a while and was even outside with a fall jacket rather than heavy winter one on. I have purposely avoided finding out what the groundhog results were today as it’s very sunny, so I suppose he saw his shadow. I don’t want to know!!

Lester and Smudge are sitting together more and more often. We got this shot of them last night. They don’t stay together very long, and they don’t really fit too well in the chair at once, but we get a huge kick out of them being together like this!
