In my continued fascination with the Drunkard’s Path block, I made these blocks. I’ve been taking stock of unfinished objects over the past few days, and these have been among the projects that have come up closer in the queue to be finished. The idea for the blocks is from an older issue of Australian Patchwork & Quilting and the setting I’ll use to put them together is also a variation on the setting in that pattern.
I printed all my shapes on the back of my fabrics for these blocks using Inklingo. It’s hard to believe that it has been almost four years since Inklingo first came out. I’ve been using it since the beginning. It makes stitching blocks like Double Wedding Ring, Farmer’s Delight, Alabama Beauty, Winding Ways all very simple. While I hand piece 99.9% of everything I do, many Inklingo’ers very successfully machine piece all these blocks.
This is my first post on my WordPress blog. I am slowly going to make the changes necessary and then migrate over my previous blog. I definitely plan to continue the kitty pictures with each blog post. To start with, here’s one of Smudge:
And this of Lester. He’s really not asleep, but has his eyes shut as he dislikes the flash — a lot!




Love the basket made from the drunkards path. That picture of Smudge reminds me of me in the morning.

Nice look for your new blog! I’ve always loved that blue and white quilt of yours, and it’s such a good photo of it. Why the switch to WordPress?

Ohh, I love wordpress. The layout and look of your new location is fantabulous! Okay so first the block – you know what I love about this? How it’s calling you and asking to be moved closer to the head of the line. That means good things!!! I completely dig this shot of the cats. In this close up of Smudge – well – lots of personality there and Lester looks like a Lion for real. BTW, Kingston does that with the camera, too. I often feel bad…

I like your new look. What influenced you to change to WordPress? Is it more user friendly? Is it a free site, like blogger? I’m really interested in hearing how you compare this with Google Blogger.
