Best Friends

Isn't that a sweet sight? My girls are buds! They are even napping together!
My camera got dropped so there is now a "spot" in the lower left hand corner. I think the lens got broken :( We can ignore that, right? These kitties are so darn cute! Cammy can get up on those chairs all by herself now, so she shares Sassy's favorite napping spot in the afternoon!
Last week I cleaned my sewing room, so I spent some time down there yesterday. The room is actually quite cozy. Other than my sewing table, it looks more like an actual family room. I used the afghan Charlotte made to cover the worn couch cushions.Most of the time, I prefer to spend my time in the studio alone, but once in a while a little company is fine too.What prompted my trip to the studio? My dear friend, Winona, sent me 2 books for my birthday. HA! My Sassafras loves quilting so much she will even lay on a quilting book!!!!Both are filled with wonderful projects and I was inspired by the Log Cabin quilts in both books....see that book mark? Winona made that for me! It is GORGEOUS!So, inspired by these Log Cabins, I decided it was time to start the one I have been planning for 15 years! I got all the centers cut....I went with red for love and warmth...and got the first section sewn on all 100 blocks.All blocks are pressed and the next sections are cut and waiting to be sewn on....next weekend, or maybe Friday. I was also able to get the next 2 block backgrounds done for Henrietta Whiskers. Blocks 3.........and 4....The applique pieces are all cut for block 3 and ready to stitch during the evening hours.
The rest of this week will be very busy preparing for Thanksgiving Day. I will shop tomorrow and Wednesday will be filled with cleaning and cooking. I am sure I won't make it back here until after the holiday, so I will take this opportunity to wish you the happiest of Thanksgivings!!! May the Spirit of Thanksgiving rest on your hearts as you reflect on all the blessings our Heavenly Father has poured out on us!
