More from the Pastry Shop

This is such a cheerful piece on which to work at this time of year that I couldn’t resist adding to it.  It’s fast to stitch and makes me smile.  And, as I’m using green as the background, it’s rather fitting to post on St. Patrick’s Day.

The box is full of pieces cut and ready to stitch.  When the contents of the box are all stitched and added to what I’ve already done, the top will be done.  I love having the pieces for blocks all ready as it makes it so easy to choose on which project I want to work.  A little prep work really pays off when I can open a box like this and have lots ready and waiting to be stitched.

The Farmer’s Delight blocks are finished.  I took the last stitch late last night.  Today I’ll press them and start playing with block arrangements and will take a photo of all of them together for tomorrow’s blog post.  I’m already playing with ideas for a border.

Smudge likes having cushions on which to recline.

Lester has a tendency to stare up at the ceiling and seems to wait until I look up to see what he’s looking at — which is always nothing.  I try to not fall for it, but rarely succeed.

  4. You’ve baked up some great pies and tarts! Your light green is just perfect with those tarts.
    My cats do that too, it’s their way of mind control and it does work for them. You know the saying, “dogs have masters, cats have staff” and they know who the staff is in the household and they have to keep you in their control. 🙂

  9. I think I like the Peach Pies the best. 🙂

    After many years with my kitties…I actually think they’re looking at someone. Lucy is constantly talking to someone down in the basement…so when I go down there to cut my fabric or do laundry I be polite and ask how they are doing today. 🙂 Just in case…one never knows.

  11. Dear Cathi, you are right, this is so perfect work for spring time! It’s beautiful! Two days ago our Nelli was also looking up and I thought what she can see there…we had a bird inside the house! It took long time to help her to find a way out and Nelli was all the time looking after where the bird is!
    Have a lovely time! xxx Teje
