About 12 more of the little triangles to go and I’ll have the two strips that go around the centre of the Farmer’s Delight block done. This time I’m going to try joining the two strips together before adding them to the centre rather than adding them one by one to the central part of the block. These triangles go together really quickly with lots of lovely continuous stitching. Seeing them like this, though, is giving me ideas for another design idea.
Tuesday afternoon we had a few errands to run. One of those errands was to run by the hotel where a friend’s husband (aka the fabric mule) stays every few months when he’s here on business. He’s dubbed the fabric mule as he always brings a package with him and then returns home with a package. In the package left for me with the front desk, I found this:
Mini honey buns of the Patisserie fabrics by Fig Tree Quilts and Objects of Desire fabrics by Sandy Gervais. There’s something quite irresistible about these little honey buns!! There’s a pattern that came with them for a small bag. While I’ve not yet made a bag, I think I’m going to try as the pattern is quite easy to understand. This could be quite the adventure for me.
While we were out running errands we saw a large flat-bed truck hauling snow into the city. This struck me as so funny. Here we are in Toronto, with really no snow in February, and they’re hauling snow in for something — probably a movie shoot, as I can’t imagine any other reason they’d be doing that. Even though there’s quite a storm that’s going to hit all around us, they say Toronto will only get a very light dusting of snow.
The vet said he wasn’t concerned about what I reported regarding Lester. So I guess he’s just getting over the tail end of whatever it was. Here he is, looking rather pensive, I think:
And Smudge relaxing after he had tried out for kitty curling. We were having meatballs for dinner Tuesday night. As we were putting them in the baking dish one of them fell on to the floor (thankfully they were frozen), and Smudge immediately started batting it around. I think he’d do quite well at kitty curling. He wasn’t too happy when I took it away from him.

I am so glad you are sharing this as you go Cathi, I have cut mine out – took me ages…working out the sizes to prinbt. I hope to get one done soon… (between everything else) so it great to see how you are actually doing this …I think I need a break and a change for a bit! Have also been prepping my le moyne swap faric while waiting for Andrea to finish ballet tonight. Lester looks good.

The Fabric Mule. Omg that's so totally hilarious. You got me cracking up on that. Good news on Lester and Cathi, great shot of Smudge. As for the FDelight, you're basically saying your going to have this already in a pieced circle and then add it to the center that way, correct?

Delightful post as always Cathi. I just saw at the Moda Bake Shop today a darling pillow using honey buns. Take a look.

On my starry hexagon quilt, I left the border pieces for last since they contained other half hexes, etc. They were very easy to join after the fact. I think the same will hold true for you joining the strip of tiny triangles on the farmer's delight. Exactly how I would do it (for what that is worth!) So glad Inklingo has the sizes already published and worked out so there is no figuring of what to do. Makes life easy.Smudge and Lester look regal as ever!

I must admit a design idea or two popped into my head too LOL. Lester looks like he just got a good brushing and is holding still so he doesn't get it all mussed up LOL. I'm pretty sure Smudge had snacking on his mind.Crispy
