::Bits of the Weekend::

October 26, 2009 By Katie

Where does the weekend go?  I’d make a great old lady shut-in…but I’d just sit, sew and drink tea rather than have bad drawn curtains and smoke stains.  Hell, if I live to 87 I think I’ll start smoking for kicks.  It will only be about $30 a pack by then.

My little bits blocks for the talented Aleena of Comfort Stitching are coming along (if you get a chance go check out her fabric designs!)  I won’t hide it, I’ve always despised making house blocks, but I think I’ve finally figured them out.  My problem all along is that I was over thinking them.

I went improv with bits from the red and blue scraps bins.

And then we ate:

We’ve had a weekend of fun with Pumpkin Prowl at the Zoo and a very exciting Sounder’s game, but everyone isn’t feeling 100% around here today.  We were in desperate need of some comfort food.  I re-adapted this favorite cauliflower recipe tonight and changed the original post to its modification.  I generally cut the whole head of cauliflower in bits and put half in the freezer to make cauliflower augratin.

Not only did I clean my scary bathroom this weekend bu I got my rows together for my Value Quilt.  Tomorrow I have my standing “sew date” with my friend Noelle and will sew together my rows.  I love how it’s turning out.

    The house blocks leave me cold, as well. I like other people’s, but never feel compelled to make a house quilt myself. I love your fabrics, though – especially that blue paisley!

    Ooh I got to your blog and thought ‘those look fab’ then found out they were for me!!!! Love love love how they are coming along so yummily!!!
    I always find improv the way to go with house blocks – I go so wrong with precision!!

    Yep, sewing, eating and drinking tea! That’s about what I did too!

    I just have to say that looking at your quilt “squares” and the cauliflower gave me all sorts of comfort. I do not know if I could live in Seattle. It was another rainy day here and we have just had so many. I think I need another run, or some cauliflower gratin, or some improv quilting… it’s a toss up.

    Thanks for your help in the store today! I really love that place…now I need to learn to sew better!

    I started my blocks for Aneela this weekend too. And I was praising you and your bulletin board design wall that I shamelessly copied.

    The value quilt top is ready for quilting. Oh yay.

    i like that idea of an old lady shut in…i think i’ll choose to drink instead of smoke…it’ll keep me loose for quilting! my value quilt is still sitting in a stack. it is on the list though…so that’s good.
