"Shankopotamus"


My cat Buddy or as the man of the place calls him "shankopotamus"
What is it with cats and quilters. Buddy is taking his nap on a block I was working on. I left just for a few minutes.
This is not the first time. He looked just too peaceful for me to move him but I did.
 I had to finish it.

Yesterday at a guild meeting, one of the members  Barbara E. was talking about herself and said she was a "blocker'
Went onto describe what a "blocker" was. This a  person who likes to  figure out how to make a block and then figures she is done with that quilt

Then there is the "topper". This is a person who likes to make the top and then figures she is done with that quilt.
Maybe will pass it on to get quilted.

Then there is the "quilter".  She goes all the way.  Makes the blocks, puts it together and gets it quilted.

What kind of quilter are you?


update on operation groundhog.

Nothing positive to report, set the live trap with cantaloupe
did not catch him. He did have a nice lunch of red cabbage. He is teasing me.

If your keeping track of successful attacks.

Groundhog   6               Gardener    pitiful  0 ( not from lack of trying, just
                                                                           out witted by a 4-legged fur ball) 

This is getting down right embarassing.

Till next time

  1. I'm mostly a Fabric-er. Once I figure out the color scheme and find the perfect fabrics it's pretty much done. I have many "quilts" on my shelves! Lately there has been a surprising turn of events and I seem to be leaning towards becoming a Quilter. Only time will tell!

  2. Funny post! Sadly I'm all three. I don't have a groundhog in my garden but I spotted deer tracks. It's frustrating for sure!! My money is on you though!

    PS: Shankopotamus is too cute...but it is hard to move a sleeping cat. I don't know why...I guess because they look so relaxed and peaceful.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

It's for the Birds

I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
