Back to Scrappy Stars

These blocks were close by the machine and I found (in my stash) the blue fabric for sashing, so started back to work.   Also found a great gold fabric for setting triangles, still need to cut that.  

 

 Quilt top will be three blocks across and four down for a sofa throw sized quilt.  Twelve inch blocks are very wide when sashed and set on point.  I'll have about ten extra stars so will perhaps make a second quilt some day. The stars are fun to sew and there's plenty of cut scraps for a few more blocks.

Pet parade-   Nice scene in the kitchen nook of two sleepy friends.

Mouse really does not feel comfortable around Mr. Pibbs.  He woke up and immediately realized he had company.  (Mr. Pibbs used his claws when first meeting the poodle kids. They did not forget).
So, now here is Mouse checking out options on where else to snooze.

Weather report for SE Arizona-  Last weekend was breezy but warm.  You can see Chelsea's tail and ears blowing forward from a SW wind.  DH was cutting shelves for a re-purposed cabinet.

This week was warm and breezy, yesterday clouds piled up enough to rain. It rained all last night and we are socked in with heavy rain today.  Temps will be dropping near freezing tonight with more rain Sunday.  Usually this time of year it's very dry.

By Thanksgiving the temperature will be back up to short sleeve shirt weather.  (If the weather guy on TV is correct and I hope he is).
