I finished my September block yesterday, posted it today. On to October Berry month.

Carla, great block! I hope you can hang in there with your job for another 10 years. Find your happy place and make peace with the demons at work. And quilt your worries away!

Just under the wire I've completed my september block of the month. I am proud to say I am (barely) managing to keep up!

Welcome back, Lynn! You must be at work if your home internet is still down. We were all worried!

Hi Lynn!!

{{{{{{{{LYNN}}}}}}}}}} Good to "see" ya!

Great blocks ladies! Yes, October is coming with all those circles.

Debbie, Pam Bono has a wonderful quilt block of a motorcycle on her transportation quilt. I did it for the grandson's quilt and it is super! I thought it was on my blog but it isn't. I'll have to snap a pic of it and get it up there. Course for that, I'll have to have internet service AT HOME, which IKE has temporarily removed for me and millions of others! ha

I love the tinfoil idea. Why is it that all of our cats are so in love with quilts? I know they are soft, etc., but I just find it so fascinating that almost for granted, that's where they will lie.

Aluminum foil, keeping those quilts-in-progress FRESH! As a former cat owner, I agree, the aluminum foil is a great idea. They also hate double-sided sticky tape, I used to place it near the edge of the kitchen counters to keep them off during the day!

I haven't gotten much done in the BOM's lately, but I'm starting to get back into the swing, hope to post pictures soon!

Wow Debbie putting foil on the quilt. What a great idea when you're trying to keep the cat hair from a quilt being given away or going to a show! Clever.

Patti,
My kitty(Nel) is my little quilt helper for sure! I get just a small scrap of batting or fabric out and she has to make sure she sits on it for me! I have to lay aluminum foil on any quilt that I'm quilting on the long-arm...she will use it as a "kitty hammock"!! What a helper, right??
Maggie,
Not to worry about the Harley, you're right, it lives in a double car garage around back. Mind you no cars live back there just another Harley and a Honda!! I think it's Rick's outdoor studio!! Don't ask about the Guitar collection in our daughter's old bedroom! :shock:
I get live music every day!!
Both of our hobbies ARE cheaper than professional mental health therapy and much more fun!!

Blessings,

Florence, great block! It is so exciting that we are nearing the finish!

Debbie, I just took the time to look at your studio. SUPER! Isn't it great to have a space to work and not worry about having to put it away! Even if you can get 5 minutes to work on something, it is totally better than 50 minutes in a therapist's office.

But, if that is your garage converted, where does DH's Harley live? Surely it has a nice home! :shock:

Florence, Your block is beautiful! They all are and the backing is perfect - actually a skinny sashing in that might be just the thing.

You are going to have a very stunning quilt for sure,

Bonny

Yes Florence I was looking at those thin little stamens too and wondering how I was going to do that. I'm still working on March so it's a long way off for me.

Anyway nice job Florence and Debbie. Both of your blocks are very pretty in colors you chose. Debbie I was looking at your profile too and got a giggle from your cat all tucked into a quilt.
