April challenges

April has been a busy month with appointments, a sick cat and family functions.  Not much got accomplished in my studio, but I'm very happy at what got done.

Now, our sick cat.  It all started a couple of weeks ago, when I tried putting Ridley outside on a harness.  He absolutely freaked out.  He did not want to be outside and once back inside he started throwing up his food.  A number of days later and a visit to the vet and x-rays showed nothing there to cause the sickness.  He was given meds to stop the nausea and vomiting and a few days later, he was fine.  Then, I was gone for a day and he was sick while I was gone.  I'm thinking the cause is anxiety.  He is fine again and back to healthy eating and playing.  He will just need some time to adjust to my comings and goings and relax.

So, what got done?  My quilt binding challenge with no-blog Mary got done ..... with Ridley's help, of course.  We had a nice nap under the quilt and it has been Ridley approved!  More on this quilt later.


Now, for the Chookshed Stitchers Challenge #9 ..... my Rail Fence Delight ufo has progressed along nicely.  The second panel has all those pieces appliqued in place.  The big red star needs to be prepped and stitched on.  All the stars and circles in the outer border have been prepped and are ready to be appliqued once I get there.  


Depending on what number will be pulled for May, I will more than likely still work on this ufo.  Got to get it done.

May will be here tomorrow and that means different quilts for display and a post will be coming for them.

Cherish your day, cherish your life!

What's happening here!

 Oh Ridley .... he is such a lap cat!  When I try to do some handwork, he is right there to help me!

When a niece came to visit with us, she had to do her homework.  Ridley made sure she did her homework by anchoring her on her Mom's lap.  LOL

When he is not on my lap or looking outside, he is guarding my fabric.
Anyway, some progress has been made on my "Rail Fence Delight".  Lots of stars and circles have been made for the outer border.

The second strip of applique has been marked up and is now ready for me to work on it.

We've had more snow and it has melted.  Some spring flowers are starting to sprout up out of the ground.  Spring is sort of here.

Cherish your day, cherish your life!
