Blammo! Not a single sewn thing officially finished this week. I can live with that, especially since I did get sewing done, but not yet finished. Here are this month’s Saturday Sampler blocks from Tiny Stitches:
I also took some time to do a fundraiser for Good Mews and went to a “paint your pet” night at a local painting place called Canvas by U. Here’s the original photo of Nina I worked from (the ladies at the store did a pencil sketch on canvas to start us off), and here’s the resulting painting:
- Used this Week: 0 yards
- Alas!
- Used year to Date: 157 yards
- Added this Week: 0 yards
- Woohoo!
- Net Used for 2014: 87.25 yards
- YTD Used for Charity: 42.25 yards (28% of total used)

I love the blocks. I don’t remember seeing Saturday Soiree before, though I am sure you have showed it. Nice to have something fresh to look at solely due to lack of memory. 😉
Your Nina is great. I must say I’m partial to the blue block. Happy Mom’s Day! Sandi
Love the painting of Nina! It’s such a great pose and a nice keepsake. Have the other cats (and dog) asked when they get their likeness on canvas?
I hope to get back to finishing things soon! I need to inventory my unfinished projects. Now that my sewing room is renovated I need to get busy!
Impressive job on the painting. I love the fabric combinations on the blue block, can’t wait to see it completed.
Your kitty portrait is so cute. I’m impressed with the likeness of the real Nina. Great stash numbers on your usage for 2014.
That batik block looks stunning! And Nina’s portrait came out really cute! The original photo is like, “Wat did you say, Mom? I didn’t quiet catch that!” :))
I got a finish this week. It was my very dodgey bodgey curtains but I did manage to get them finished and hung in time for visitors. Since I counted the fabric in when I bought it I got to count it out when I finished. I love the painting of Nina - she is so looking at you and checking you out!
She can paint too! Wow!
The blocks are very pretty. Still loving the blue and white. Someday I will be making something with blue and white.
I just got caught up on your podcasts ( long story). Thank you so much for keeping me company this morning as I quilted. Your Nina quilt is FANTASTIC! I am so impressed. I just love swoon quilts and the colors you chose are really in line with colors I love most.
