Priscilla & Quilters

Happy Friday, quilters! All of this week's quilt tops were made by Priscilla and finished by our lovely quilters. This first one was completed by Kathy with a wavy spiral.

These next two tops were quilted by Doris. I especially like the pattern of this one as a way to use scraps. The little diamonds look so neat sitting in the squares. 

This is a really cozy, scrappy quilt that will work well for a man or woman. Priscilla always makes great scrap quilts.

This one reminds me of Bonnie Hunter's Misty Mountains block in Fall colors. 

These last two were quilted by Linda. This one was a stack of blocks from Cali & Co Mystery block of the month 2025 that I assembled. Again, great scrappy colors.

I am still deep in kitten-rearing. My older litter of orange kittens are about 11 weeks old. The remaining 3 kittens and their mama are scheduled to be transported to a rescue up North next week. (Other parts of the country actually have more people looking to adopt than they have stray or abandoned animals, so some charities transport southern animals.)

The little babies are approximately 5 weeks old. They have mostly mastered the litter box (unfortunately they all have diarrhea... my fault, I switched formula brands). We've working on transitioning from bottle to licking their kitten-mush off a plate. One of them is stubbornly holding out for his bottle.

Tina's Quilts

Happy Friday, Quilters! This week I have quilts to show that were sent in by Tina C, a long-time contributor who usually sends in about one finished quilt a month. 

I really like the fabrics in this first quilt. The colors and the plaids and stripes are really cozy looking. I also really like the fabrics in this second quilt. The color scheme reminds me of this Lonestar I did ages ago.

The matryoshka dolls are adorable.  A long long time ago I got a little piece of that fabric and the one with the onion-top buildings in a scrap bag and parceled them out a little bit at a time. 

Thank you, Tina!

The bottle babies are putting on weight rapidly and growing into little cats instead of fuzzy jelly beans.


There are two boys and one girl. My working names are Squirrel, Possum, and Badger.

Squirrel has achieved total relaxation

Becky & Kathy

Happy Weekend, quilters! I'm showing off some tops made by Becky and quilted by Kathy on her longarm. Both of these ladies are really really good at what they do, so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves.

Lots going on around here! The Pitt Crew kittens (the orange litter) are up for adoption. One of the kittens has already going to a home and mama is spayed. They are fully little cats now. They are wild and playful and climbing all over their little room. Mama is ready to move on to empty-nester life. 

I have taken in another litter, orphan bottle babies (don't ask me how that happened... I was on a lot of cold medicine at the time.) There are 3 of them and they are estimated to be about 2-3 weeks old.  I've had them about a week and they are doing well, gaining weight, and keeping me awake at all hours.  The older kittens seem huge in comparison!

In other fun news, I went to grown up D&D camp a couple weekends ago! It was near Big Bear in Southern California, at 8000ft elevation. It was a ton of fun and in addition to playing lots of D&D I got to do archery, sword fighting, and mini painting.

Eighteen years ago while in college I took archery classes with my friends. Imagine my surprise to find out that muscle memory still works! I won the archery contest at camp and got a badge for my efforts. 

Lastly, I have a couple of old quilts in the local quilt show next weekends. I'm not expecting to win anything, but it's nice to participate.  Whew, no wonder I've been worn out!
