Working on the Challenge quilt is eating into my time, but I’m getting alot done with the top.   It’s the “quilting” part that has me sweatin… I’ve just begun sandwiching the “center” of my top.   I played a bit with blocks for the “head” and “sides”  last night.   I still have one more pack of Charms size fabric to use- If I Need It.. and I usually do— 
 
While hunting for some fabric from my stash I found (re-found?)  these panels..CATS!!   I had received them from a local lady.   She was downsizing and I was lucky to be on her LIST of who to give things to.   Yippee!!

got 6 of these panels

I know there are some more panels with cats or dogs on them, but just don’t have time to hunt thru and work with them right now..    I did put together the stash fabric for future quilts..lap size cheater patterns..  I grabbed the cheater fabrics to practise “free motion quilting” on, but have just been too busy to get to the “practice” part.    Looks like it will be after Christmas before I can find any time to do my HomeWork.     

I found having this magnifier really helps add details when quilting,,esp following the lines for stitch in the ditch projects..  I went back to purchase another for the other machine and they were sold out..    I will be watching for the item to be back in the store everytime I shop…   With my ol’ eyes, I use all the help I can find.

OK, back to the challenge and everyday stuff.   (cooking, cleaning, pet sitting, napping, —-)
