The rainbow didn’t grow by much yesterday — just the first row of the yellow into orange and the next orange right in the middle. I love how this is starting to take shape. By the time I get through the oranges and reds, though, it’s going to start getting pretty large.
Our weather forecast is fantastic!! Three days of wonderful glorious warmth, even humidity. They’re forecasting we’re to have humidex readings in the high 20s/low 30s Celsius. Finally!! I know this won’t last at these high temperatures yet, but getting this first taste of real warmth is going to be a huge treat!

I am so glad this week is over. It has been a stressful and less than productive one on the work front. Today I’m off to our Creativ Festival. I have a very short list of things I hope to find, including the needles I prefer and some thread. I’m going to take a good look to see if any of the vendors have charm packs of batiks. I have a plan for a quilt that involves lots and lots of batiks. As I’d like to make it totally scrappy and not repeat any one fabric, if I can find a couple of batik charm packs, I’ll have everything I need for the quilt!

Cathi,I read somewhere that batiks were a little different when hand piecing. Do you notice a different, a little more difficult perhaps, harder to needle?Orange is one of my most favorite colors and Lester looks so very snuggly. When they’re like that sometimes I’m guilty lying next to them. Kipling doesn’t really appreciate it either but they’re so sweet I can’t help it. So snuggly!OMG! Thewordfy: quirk. sheesh.

You have the “spring” part of the rainbow done. It looks like new leaves and daffodils right now. what size are the charm squares? I was thinking about offerening charm packs of batiks on my Wandaful blog but didn’t know what size to cut them.

Wonderful progress on the rainbow! Glad you are enjoying some pleasant weather. Catherine, would you take a picture of your kitties while the are eating or using the litter box? I sometimes think they are stuffed cats and you just arrange them this way and that. LOL.
