Sunshine and Sewing

After getting brushed yesterday morning, Willow spent some time inside.  She and Mabel shared the dog bed in front of the picture window

They kept shifting around in the sunspots.

Eventually Willow got too warm and went back outside, so Cici took up the sunny corner.  You can see by her color that she spends lots of time sunbathing.

I spent the afternoon in the sewing room and finished the next 3 bear faces.

Mabel eventually came up to take up her position on the window ledge where she could supervise the world, inside and out.

Then, I cut the last 3 bear faces and got them sewn up.  So 37 pieces per face x 9 faces brings us to 333 pieces in this quilt so far.

I was debating what blocks to work on next.  I was really leaning to the pants or sweaters, but David advised to go ahead and make the deer faces.  So I started cutting those but didn't get finished with that before it was time to go to the guild meeting.

I took a few photos from my favorite show and tell items...........

This was the second patriotic barn quilt Linda had made.  The first was given as a Quilt of Valor.

And I love this one.  I think it's another Elizabeth Hartman pattern.  I may have to add it to my list of patterns.

Carrie's heart mat was very cute.  It makes me think that I need to get out my Valentine's decor.

This was Pam's creation.  She purchased all of this ombre fabric several years ago when a group of us went to the quilt show in Paducah.  This is the third large quilt she has made from it.  

It's another cold day here.  Mabel is monitoring the bird feeder from the window seat.  I have a few housekeeping items and laundry on the agenda but hope to get back to work on some deer faces.  I also borrowed a really big ruler from another guild member last night so need to get started on Sarah's 4-H t-shirt quilt.
