The more I’ve looked at the sunset block I posted about on Monday, the more I’ve wanted to do another one denoting sunrise and one that will be a rainbow. The rainbow one will obviously end up much larger. I’m not sure if I will continue going around or if, at some point, I’ll go to star points and have a Lone Star of sorts.

I have this grouping of fabrics for the rainbow block. All I need to add is some yellow and, of course, some red. The fabrics needle like a batik, although they’re not batiks. I will probably be hauling these around with me whenever I go to a quilt shop, looking for just the right reds and yellows. But, in the meantime, I can get started printing my diamonds for the rainbow.

The continuing series of Lester on the windowsill. I don’t know if he’ll be there much today, though, as we’re supposed to have quite strong winds and torrential amounts of rain. The temperature is also supposed to drop quite a bit. I hope it doesn’t drop enough to cause icing on the roads and sidewalks after all that rain.

Play time this weekend meant I got to work on this. I think of a sunset when I look at it. I’m not sure where I’m going with it — perhaps I’ll surround it with a row or two of a purple. Perhaps I’ll end it here and make a few of these blocks for a wall hanging. All I know is that it was great fun to put this together with lots of continuous stitching. I used the diamonds from the Inklingo 6″ LeMoyne Star collection for this.

We had milder weather over the weekend. Although it rained and rained, it was milder. We had windows open and heat turned way down. The downside was a migraine that was one of the worse I’ve had in a long time. I was barely able to do anything on Saturday. Sunday was just the bruised head feeling.

Smudge knew what to do on a rainy weekend — curl up and be cozy and sleep.

Lester was exactly where I figured he’d be — on the windowsill. No entertainment out there for them yet, though — no birds or squirrels have been seen so far.
