My kids are spending the week with my in-laws, so that means… well, not a ton of sewing. You’d think so, but I got a brilliant idea to paint my kitchen since I don’t really have to cook full meals for the entire family. So that’s what I’ve done.
I picked a bright blue/aqua color since our cabinets are white and the floor matches the dog (or the dog matches the floor), and I really love it. I need to do touch-ups tonight and then I should be ready to peel the tape off tomorrow.
Now, I have managed to do a bit of sewing as well. I’m working on the top for the donation quilt for Good Mews’ silent auction; it’s a column layout and I picked a focus fabric and then drew out scrap squares to complement. I realized while piecing that the focus fabric I picked is the colors of my cats - brown, orange, black and white. Serendipity!
There will be 5 columns of the focus fabric, and four pieced columns. This is the center, and the flanking columns use a slightly larger patchwork square.
I like your donation quilt - I’m sure it’ll be appreciated. Cute video of the cat opening the cabinet!
Oh my goodness, what a smart and cute cat!
HA!!!!!! That crazy cat. Who would have thought she could do that?!!
I love how your cat quilt is coming, and the fact that your cat opens your cabinet doors in not surprising in the least. Mine does weird things like that too. She must want to lay on the soft fabrics.
OMG how cute is she?! I love your donation quilt, and the colors you’re using. I had to zoom in to see the cat focus fabric :)))
Pretty paint color! I am not allowed to paint. I make a total mess. Well, actually I can paint the middles, but hubby paints the edges. LOL I am in too much of a rush and get sloppy. Moot point here though as we are renting and not allowed to paint.
Loved the Nina show.
Love the blue! The quilt is coming along nicely..
Like the way you are using the feature fabric and pieced strips. Someone will one a very nice quilt.
Lovely bright colours in your kitchen . My feature wall in the kitchen is a bright yellow! I can’t see the nina show. It won’t come up on my phone:(
I love how the busyness of the kitty fabric next to the simple block design makes the quilt look more difficult to put together than it is. Brilliant. I have to remember this design for future donation quilts
Very cool.
Loving the blue! You’re totally screwed Nina is so plotting your downfall one step at a time 😛
Nina is so determined! My cat is too lazy to bother trying something like that.
