I love log cabin quilts and this will be a great way to save pieces for a new log cabin. The shoe box size sound just perfect for scraps. They wouldn't take up a lot of space if a person wanted to sort colors into several boxes.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146834008601305781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-81464304357653073092019-09-23T14:58:10.995-04:002019-09-23T14:58:10.995-04:00Emmy Lou looks very content in her calm and quiet ...Emmy Lou looks very content in her calm and quiet new home. I feel so sorry for your husband having to listen to Emmy Lou crying and the bad smell. Your husband must have been driving with his head out the window. The little creamer is beautiful, I would not have passed it up either. I love the beautiful church and didn't notice the roof lines till you mentioned it. I had to laugh at the bin sitting just off the edge of the Ironing board. I like to set my stacks of patches like you do all ready to sew. I love love love your Jacks Delight. I'm thinking I will have to subscribe to Quiltmaker magazine so I can follow along. Now to start collecting plaids. I don't have any plaid shirts around here. I have been cutting and cutting patches for my Shoo Fly. I am loving the look of putting a 4 patch in the center.

I hope a vet visit is less traumatic. 100 miles is a lot for a kitty girl.<br />I am so happy that you are in Virginia now.<br />The church is very beautiful .....so beautiful<br />Today is my day to get some things done, I took Princess to the vet for a quick booster shot, and now I am back home. It is dry here. Hubbs is retired and watering the yard so our plants and trees and grass do not die<br />I am still taking good care of my 95 year old daddy. We have fun every day, Today I left him on his own. I am only 4 miles away thoughRosemary B❤️https://www.blogger.com/profile/17792395820711368533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-49888476422137255182019-09-23T10:37:33.284-04:002019-09-23T10:37:33.284-04:00Argh!

Emmy looks much happier clean and loved and if she's eating and using the litter box (not at the same time)LOL, has found and claimed Sadies' bed! I think she's settled in ... "they" say you can't move a cat, but you can and they love their people most of all, I'm confident she's pleased to be with you and Sadie... Hope you're continuing on your road to health, look forward to seeing "Jack" -- now I've conquered over a thousand HST for Emerald City... this will be a no brainer!!! and so nicely scrappy!!!

I never thought, thou...My cat hates car rides, too! I never thought, though, that it might be due to motion sickness and the trauma of being inside the carrier. Our vet is quite near but we've always taken my cat in the car for vet visits, and she's hated it every time. I'm happy to note the suggestion for 1/4 of a Drammamine. I'll ask the vet and giver her that to calm her down next time. I wish my cat would also live to be 19! I'm 55 now so 19 years or so later, I'll be 75. After those years of being with my cat, I'm sure I wouldn't know how to cope with her passing. But, well, that's how life goes. As early as now, I'm trying to get used to our time together ending. I hope all goes well with that growth on your cat's skin. It might just be a fat mass or some benign issue. She's lucky to have you to care about her.

Here's hoping the vet can sort out the bump and she can chill out in her new home. I suppose 3 was a crowd and she was the odd one out with the youngsters. She looks well happy - and poor Sadie ousted! LOL!<br />At the moment I'm rearranging my stash and cutting for the scrap users system. I've folded and sorted these fabrics far too many times over the years so hopefully this will be the last time! <br />Jack's Delight is lovely - and such a cheerful one too.
