Another squirrel.

 A couple of weeks ago, I was perusing pinterest, I was looking for a quilting pantograph design, but you know how it is, you click on one thing, then another and another and before you know it, you're down a rabbit hole. Well this particular rabbit introduced me to his pal the squirrel, who showed me pretty picture, with a linky. 

A year of Scrappy Triangles. That sounded very intriguing.

Oh Dear.

I just had to click on the linky.

I was taken eventually, to 

This place.

Look at that date! I'm very late getting to this party.

You would think there would be plenty of images of completed quilts by now.

But there were no images of finished quilts, just a promise of using up scraps. Still intrigued I signed up and received the promised email. (It landed in junk mail, just in case you decide to do the same).

A lovely welcome and 52 paper foundation blocks that I could print and use as often as I would like.

But still no images of completed quilts.

Oh well I thought, I'll just have to make a few and see how things turn out. I set about looking for fabrics to use as the main colour.........

That was the day the squirrel talked me in to making the Flutterby Bunny quilt. LOL

Yesterday was all about using some of these pretties.

For Christmas Ornaments.

So the scrappy Triangles had to wait for another day. This morning, I came across another email from the designer, once again in my junk mail, this time it was filled with images of beautiful quilts that people have made using her foundations, and a linky, to even more inspiration. Well that got the squirrel all fired up and it was time to make a start. Block one really did not take very long to make.

So I made three more.

And played about with some of the layouts I had seen in this mornings email.

Oh what fun. 

I could enjoy doing these at a block a week. 

I've already printed block two!

Do you remember the Morning Moon Fairies Quilt.

It gave me some issues early last year, but I revisited it in May of last year and completed the top.

It was put away to await quilting.

I pulled it out yesterday and hung it up at the end of my hall. It's there to greet anyone who comes through the front door, and also  so that I can see it and contemplate how I'm going to quilt it. I'd still like to do something special around the fairies, but I'm unsure what, I'm hoping some ideas will present themselves.

And finally..

My crochet ground to a halt last night.

Because someone moved in, and would not move on.

When I tried to shift things along a bit, she just turned around, gave me the eye and settled in even more.

Claiming squatters rights.

One spoiled rotten, happy cat.

She remained there purrring her furry RRRRRRs off until bed time.
