Another block framed and with purple squares attached. This purple batik is working with all these blocks so far. Stitching the purple batik to the cream hexagons is definitely wearing the finish off the needles quickly. I can tell when it’s starting to happen now as the needle just does not glide as easily.
The back:
We had glorious weather on the weekend, although it was rather chilly Friday and Saturday nights. It was actually chilly enough that we had the heat on for a while. This week is supposed to be hot and humid again. I think we’re into the silly part of the year when we almost need air conditioning on during the day and heat on at night. I am not complaining as I’d rather have this than winter!
Mr. Quilt Obsession has been busily snapping photographs. This one of the dragonfly is another one where, if you “embiggen” it, you can see the wings. Better him than me getting so close to the bugs! I love seeing the photos, but don’t know that I’d be too comfortable getting so close.

Lester in a kitty bed:
And, for fun, a real close-up of one of his paws. It’s impossible to put a quarter or anything on his paw when it’s like that and expect him to stay still, but they are enormous paws.
Smudge, partially in a shadow. I love this shot of him:
And this close-up of one of his amazing green eyes:

Well, you managed to win me over with the pictures again first thing this morning. Love, love, love Lester in his bed!! I don't know that I would get much stitching done with them two cuties in my home.

Great photos of Lester and Smudges. I have yet to use any of my batiks, but will be sure to stock up on needles before I do.
