I will not be grinning for the camera, despite being able to climb this big maple tree.
Nope!
Still not gonna face the camera. I'm scouting for naughty squirrels.

Wednesday Weather Report #110 - 6/26/19
We are definitely getting closer to more summer-like weather!!!
I've also been able to work on some other hexie projects in the last week.
Sunday was like an everlasting gobstocker ... it just went on and on and on until the day's task was done.
After adding another row of brown along the bottom of the quilt on Saturday evening and Sunday morning, I took the papers out of 26 of 27 rows of this larger half of the quilt. I "only" have 19 rows to take out of the smaller half before I can stitch them together and take the final 2 rows out. I am hoping to have that completed before the end of June. My 4 day Independence Day weekend can then be spent sandwiching and getting a good start on quilting this monster.
It's hard to see in the sun but the papers are piled in the cardboard box. If these were papers that I had bought for another project I would press the papers and reuse them but these were punched from free magazine subscription cards and they are pretty beat up since I left them in the project until the bitter end. After I finish pulling papers from the smaller half and get a photo of all 2,327 beat up hexie papers they will be headed straight to the round bin.
Because Mr Serious is no longer portable, I pulled out a UFO. It's been a little disconcerting working on something else after 9 months of focused dedication as well as exhilarating to work on an old friend.
This basket block is almost done and that means I'll have to soon decide how I want to arrange the 4 baskets for another doll bed quilt. Before you laugh, I was just invited to do another trunk show and (doll) bed turning in October. This is the third or fourth year I've been asked to do a show in October! And with that I need to get to work on some UFOs to add to my trunk show. Hopefully that means this blog will be a little less "boring" for you guys.
Before I took the photos I had been leaning towards tulips to the middle but now I think baskets to the middle and I'm hoping I have more of the brown (the only consistent fabric for each block) to do something with the borders or binding. I have a feeling it was a scrap tho and I might be out of luck...
I'm still working on the issue with my comments. On Friday I added a gmail account to the notification field on my blog and it worked for some comments but not others. I was going to take out my original email today to try that tweak but I found that blogger had deleted the gmail address from the list and that could explain the missing later comments. I hope you'll still play along while I try to fix this issue...
Since I don't get around to many other linky parties - what software are people using? My inlinkz account is up for renewal soon but lately not many people are joining in for various reasons and I'm not sure it's worth the money. It's not extravagant but no use wasting money that could be spent on more fabric! Any suggestions that you have seen on your or other blogs?? TIA

Feline Friday - 6/21/19
After Momma painted the bedroom walls ("asparagus") she arranged this cute little sitting area with the night stand that grandPoppa made, a lamp, an old coffee table for a foot rest and this ancient polyester chair.
I agree - this is the most purrrfectest sitting/sleeping area!!! You can tell by the layer of my white furs on the chair cushions. Momma isn't appreciative of this protective layer and refuses to use the sitting corner until she either buys a slip cover and or makes something simple that can be removed for human sitting or tossed in the washer easily. What ever...
Momma adds that the change she made to the blog Wednesday wasn't quite perfect as she was only notified of 2 of the 5 comments. Momma made another change so would appreciate some comments today to see if the new change works better... TIA
