A little play time was in order on the weekend and so a second Tropical Punch block was made. Working with these lovely warm colours was almost a necessity with the temperatures being so horribly cold.
Because I had printed a number of the templates on various of these fabrics, I was able to just choose my fabrics for the next block and then stitch. Yet another reason I love Inklingo — once the templates are printed on to fabric, all I have to do is cut out the shapes from whichever fabric I want to work with for the next block and then just stitch.
I like the back of these blocks almost as much as the front.
Smudge is definitely a ham. Here he is doing his lounge lizard imitation. He held the pose while we found the camera, turned it on and took the shot.
And Lester found his spot — and was keeping toasty warm.
I hope this cold snap ends soon. The last 3 or 4 days have been brutally cold. I don’t know if it’s because it’s March and we think it should be getting warmer or if we were spoiled by those few days of milder temperatures, but the last few days have been very hard to take.
