The Lab Quilt

 I am going to go in the order of things since we left off in March.  

First up was finishing a few things.  

My daughter asked me to make a peacock diaper for her bird that was going to a new home.

 It was the first time I made one without fitting it to the bird directly.  

I followed the tutorial we had done and it turned out GREAT!  

 Next up was to finish up the blocks for the lab quilt.

I added this little mouse.  Isn't he cute???

I made a bunny facing the other way, using an immune cell fabric for the background.

I really wanted to make an antibody so since I couldn't find a pattern I decided to make my own.

I am really happy with how it came out.  

Note the B cell fabric background.

Next up was to put it all together.  

I am SO thrilled with how it turned out!!!  

I sent it to my friend, Darla in California for the quilting.

Just ending this post with a few pictures of the boys.  

More to come, so stay tuned!

Friday Musings

Can you believe I have not sewn at all this week?? 

 I am feeling pretty anxious with all I need to do and no time to do it. 

I started working 4 10 hour days so I could have Fridays off.  

It puts me home SO much later that by the time dinner is done it's practically time for bed!  

UGH.  

Thank goodness it is staying light longer.

I have some cat pics to share today.  Those crazy boys have been providing some good photo ops.

I caught this as Finny was trying to help himself to some breakfast!

Then it was off to the couch for a snooze.

 I love when Cole gets all long when he is just waking up.  

Zoom in on those talons he has on his front feet!  

He was curling them up and opening them while purring when I snapped this.

When I am gone a lot they both take any opportunity they can to get close to me when I finally settle on the couch.

Well that's all I have for right now.  

We are in the midst of getting ready to go camping this weekend so

I should have more to write about soon.  

We are trying a new campground too.  This one is in Omer, MI . 

Anyone near there? 

Give me a shout out and let me know if there are any quilt shops nearby or if you want to meet up!
