I think so… I think it is Monday, and I was going to have a busy day, but the doctor’s visit got cancelled in the afternoon, so I got to stay home and relax. I am going to have to go into town way too many times this week, so I am glad I could stay home today.

So what’s been happening here?

Our neighbour’s cat had kittens:

Do you have any idea how hard it is to take photos of black kittens with their black mother? Here is one of the newborn balls of fluff in Elizabeth’s hands:

Mama cat was happy to be petted and have her babies cuddled. She even let the dog lick them – amazing!! Oh how Elizabeth and I would love to take one of them home when they are old enough…..!

In the sewing room, well, actually I haven’t spent much time in the sewing room, BUT I have been playing with quilts…. You see I forgot to tell you what I got for Mother’s Day… I forgot because it didn’t arrive in time for Mother’s Day, but I did get it last week, and oh it is soooooo much fun!!!!! Can you guess???? I got this:

I know EQ7 is about to come out, but I figured there was much more info and tutorials about EQ6 around and I’d be happy with it. And I am! It is fantastic! I am having so much fun playing with it, downloading fabric collections from the net, … now if only it would make the actual quilts… hee heee. Well, where would the fun be in that?!

I had to get ready for a class I was teaching on raw edge applique on Saturday, so I used my new program to make this simple beginners applique block:

Once it is done and I am organized, I will put up the pattern for free on JJ’s.

I also slowly worked away at the Star Ribbon border for the Round Robin quilt. I am got the first one on tonight, and hopefully before bed I will get the next one on:

So that is about all the news from my corner of the world… Oh, one more thing.. I joined this:
