Poky little puppy and the patchwork quilt - Printed Little Golden Book fabric book by Quilting Treasures. "book" pages are aranged in a simple block quilt assembled using Cotton Theory method. The back of each block and sashing strip is a different fabric acquired as a fat quarter bundle at JoAnns (do not know fabric line). The inside cover "pages" will be embrodered with the baby's name, birthdate and weight.

Batting Practice - I entered a 5 and only 5 contest by Ricky Tims. My cat is always playing with balls and this pose of her on the bed with her paws in the air looked like she was batting at something. I'm also a baseball nut. So it only made sense to me to combine both my like for my cat and baseball. The cat and balls are hand applique. The 1/4 square triangles were made using 1/4 ST paper. I wanted to try a curvey border and figured out how to cut and stitch the curves. Much of the quilt is stitch in the ditch with some free motion quilting in the larger areas. I met my goals of having fun, meeting a deadline and trying something new. Now to donate it to a cause or hang it on the wall in my home.

stars in the dining room - I have tried this new technique and it was very funny to do. I have done only 2 sets of 4 star blocks differently surrounded...and gived them for Christmas gift to my daughters.
