Wishing for Fall

Wishing for Fall and admiring these fall-colored quilts! There were a couple of mornings this past week when I went out the door for work that it actually felt cool.

These tops were made by Gail and kitted up with complimentary backings and bindings to make them quick to finish. These are from the Tall 9s block drive.

Linda took it from there and did a lovely job with coordinating FMQ patterns on her long arm.

Gail actually lives very near me, and she's contributed finished tops to MANY of CiL's drives. She has meticulous piecing and great color combos.

Things are proceeding apace here. I recently delivered quilt restocks to several of our hospitals.

Just today I got 5 complete quilts in the mail and got them labeled.

Thank you so for your continued support! 

Isn't this sunflower FMQ with the backing just perfect?

On the home front, the kitties are restless. I'm trying once again to put Sundae on a diet. I noticed she's gotten too chubby to clean her bottom and I've had to break out the wet wipes a few times. The indignity!

She's 14lb and Fudge is about 8lb. The last time I tried to restrict their food, within a week she gained half a pound and he lost half a pound. 

I needed a way for him to always have access to food while limiting hers, so I finally bit the bullet and got a SureFeed SurePet bowl. It recognizes Fudge's collar and opens only for him.

They both share access to a bowl of wet food where I dole out measured amounts, but Fudge always has his dry food of he gets hungry. Sundae's doing pretty well so far, but she's definitely given that locked bowl a thorough investigation.

I'll be weighing her weekly to see if we're making any progress, wish us luck!
