It’s been So Long…..

Its been so long since the dice rolled 1, which is for Horse Quilt Number 2 on my list.  I’m really pleased to be working on it again this week.  When I last left this project, I was making extra black and grey blocks to add to the pile left over from Horse Quilt Number 1.

So that’s why these blocks may look familiar.  I hade previously stitched a whole lot more than was required for this quilt, which I made for grand-daughter Emma.

So Horse Quilt Number 2 will be similar, but different.  I’m using light blue/aqua for the sashing strips.  And as for the horse content, Plan A was a dismal failure, so I’m going with Plan B.  More about that later as the quilt top progresses.

Are you ready for a few more kitten photos?  Gemma decided to attack my apron, pull it down from the hook, and proceeded to drag it around the floor with it in her mouth.  Perhaps the apron strings remind her of snakes which need to be dealt with?

And when she is good, she is very, very, good.  She loves climbing all over her car tower, then takes herself off to have a snooze in the box in the middle of the tower every now and again.

I’m trying to limit my time sitting at the sewing machine these last few days, as I seem to have pulled a muscle in my back, which is letting me know all about it.  With our trip to Oz fast approaching, I really don’t want to have a sore back while on holiday.
