For some reason, this block says lilacs in spring to me. Here I go again — this may be my favourite for today, at least.
I did a small exchange with Terri at Purple and Paisley of goodies related to stitching, quilting and crocheting. In the package I received I got all these glorious DMC flosses, some of which will be used in the Mary Wigham sampler, some floss cards, floss project cards and the appropriate-sized needles. I love these floss colours — all very cheerful.
Tucked in with the other items were these buttons. They’re absolutely adorable — the faces on the cats are priceless! Mr. Quilt Obsession immediately asked if they were for him!
Wednesday was pretty overcast and, once again, rather cool for July. This is definitely turning into the summer that wasn’t. A long-range forecast I heard Wednesday night indicates August isn’t going to be much warmer than July has been. I suppose the thing to hope for at this point is a warmer than usual September.

I love your purple block. Boy those goodies you received from Terri are just beautiful. I feel your pain about the summer. This is definitely the summer that wasn't. Still no name for our kitty, but we are working on it.

It HAS been an odd summer, hasn't it? So much for global warming–though I hear they've changed the term to "climate change" now, to cover their tushes.That's a great name choice for this block.
