Seeing the POTC blocks laid out renewed my determination to get my Patchwork of the Crosses top together before the year’s over. So I have been taking little stacks of these and …
… stitching together sets of 3 and then …
… creating the cream hexagon frames for the remaining blocks. Once the frames are made, it’s just lots and lots of lovely continuous stitching to add them to each block. Adding the purple squares after that takes next to no time.
This weekend is our Creativ Festival. We’re going today — yes, Mr. Q.O. enjoys going as well. Then we’re meeting friends for dinner. It will be a very nice day, even though the weather leaves much to be desired. Snow, they say?? Snow in October? I’ve definitely got to get started on that beach ball quilt and pretend it just isn’t happening!
Smudge doesn’t care. He’s curled up, nice and cozy and warm.
Lester, on the other hand, was on the windowsill today. Look how green everything still is! How on earth can it snow when it still looks like this? There are still flowers!
I’m pretty sure he was watching the squirrels. You can see how green everything still is in this photo and some of the flowers.

We have had snow too, it is sad to see the trees with brown leaves still on them and snow on the ground.

That looks like a good plan with the cream color elongated hexagons. Most of my flowers got nipped by the 2 heavy frosts we got but the grass will stay green all the way to Jan. usually.
