169: of quilts and cuteness
I was changing the sheets on the bed the other day and look who showed up:
When he hears sheets being shaken out of a folded bundle he comes running. He must romp.
Do all cats do this? Well, I guess not, because Mercury doesn't. Do your cats do it?
It's not just cats who must get in on the bed-making:
Oh, Zeus. How can I resist your cuteness?
No, this is not an adorable-animal-photos blog, but when it happens, you gotta go with it.
He was looking so photogenic, and the bed was actually made, so I took the opportunity to get some shots to show you that quilt I made a while back.
Ok, fine, it's patchwork.
If you're wondering why the wall behind the bed is so boring, it's because this is a temporary bedroom, still in need of skimming, painting etc.
This is taken from the head of the bed:
You can see some of the back on the folded over part. I didn't go to the trouble of washing of the dog and cat fur before showing you. I thought about it, does that count? I mean, at least the bed is made, right?
I do really want to make an actual quilt. You know, one that's quilted. Maybe I'll do a throw.
I have been cutting more fabric into strips so that when I am ready to sew I can just jump right in.
Hey, first strikeoffs should be coming in about 3 weeks!
I can't freaking wait.

Oh god. When did I last change he sheets? Oh, dear.
Cute quilt - fun colours. Counting down with you! It must be so very exciting.
Thanks for the quilt love.
Tracey: even better the sheets were new but cheap: Building 19- ten bucks for the set!
