"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
Kat

  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.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

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        ...
