As soon as I saw the shapes for this in the new Orange Peel Inklingo collection, I knew I had to use the fabric I’ve been looking at for so long and wondering what I’d make with it. I’m going to make, I think, 8 of these blocks for a table runner. It was amazingly quick and effortless to put together.
The back:
Today is our last day taking care of Winnie as our friends return from their vacation late this evening. We’re asking for visitation rights! I’m going to miss spending time with her.
The grackles were back swooping about on Thursday. This picture only shows a very few of them perched in one of the trees.
The cats weren’t as impressed. It was a very overcast day with rain on and off. Lester got comfortable in his kitty bed and ignored the grackles.
And Smudge curled up on the couch with a teddy bear.

I love your Pink Ice blocks, and these Alabama Beauty blocks are fantastic! I can't wait to see a few put together. It looks like you're going to have some very interesting circular designs going on. Fantastic fabrics in this one, too! Love that black.BTW, I subscribe to your blog in Bloglines so that I'll see every time you update. I'm a huge fan of Lester and Smudge! Loved the video from feeding Winnie, too!

LOL! Too funny that the weather was so dreary the cats didn't want to look out the windows. My cats have enjoyed watching all the squirrels in the yard hide pecans and scamper about in the leaves.

Fabric choice is terrific. Can you tell me – what are grackles, apart from something providing amusement for the kitties to watch?
