#quilt The third quilt is for my daughter. It is called Saturday in the Park. She said it reminds her of a flower garden.

#quilt The second quilt is for my grandson. He loves cats. And all fabrics have cats on them. I had extra blocks so I put them on the back.

I’ve finished three quilts. A major accomplishment for me as I have gotten very slow as I get older. I am going to share in three posts. The first quilt is for my granddaughter who spent two years in Paris. I call it Essence of Paris. The girl in the panel looks a lot like my granddaughter.

Here’s a Caturday picture of Cranberry in her royal queen pose.

Persistence works. I spend 15 to 30 minutes a day making quilt tops. I just sent 2 to a longarm quilter to finish up. And I am working on two others. 15 minutes a day is more than nothing. Here’s one that’s being quilted for my granddaughter. She lived in Paris for 1 1/2 years. My cat helps me! 🤣

Anyone who believes in democracy should not talk like this. Anyone who doesn’t believe in democracy should not run for office in this country. Maybe I’m too intolerant, but this is not our country’s values!!

It’s hard to mess up quilts. Go ahead and give it a try. You don’t need to start with a hard pattern. An easy 9-patch would work. Here’s a quilt in progress for my granddaughter who just returned from a year in Paris.

#cats Me and my shadow!!

Just because Trump has a poor memory doesn’t mean the rest of us do!

What is it with Republicans and nuclear weapons? Bombing for peace? Why not set a series of nuclear explosions along the San Andreas fault and get rid of California? Newt Gingrich is an idiot. Trump is an idiot. Mike Johnson is an idiot. Marco Rubio! Pete Hegseth! We live in an idiocracy.

#quilt #quiltsky I’ve finished the top for my granddaughter’s quilt/wall hanging. It needs a better pressing but I’m out of energy today. It’s the first quilt I’ve finished since my husband died 6 years ago and probably even earlier than that. Aging doesn’t make the process easier!!

#quilt #cats I’m making a wall hanging for my granddaughter to celebrate her returning to the US from 18 months in Paris. My cat Chuy wants to make sure everything is perfect. He’s cat-scanning it! 🤣

Of course not. If it’s dropping, that’s another Epstein distraction.

#quillt #quiltsky I managed to get 4 more Jacob’s Ladder blocks done this week. I now have 8 blocks finished. Only 40 more to go. I usually get 2 done per week so I should have them all done in 6 months. Then will have to assemble them!! Still need to fix the right purple block. Fixing’s no fun.

Oh my! You are so lucky to have it back. I gave my brother a quilt. He forgot about it when he and his wife divorced and now she won’t let him have it back.

#quilt I finished two more Jacob’s Ladder blocks. Whoops. The bottom one is right. The top is wrong. So, do I rip out the seams on the wrong one, lay it out right and reset? Or do I just make one more block—correctly this time? I think it’s faster to make a new block. The other can be an orphan.

In addition to my Jacob’s Ladder blocks, I am making an easy quilt out of these black and yellow cat fabrics. I’m about 1/3 done. If you look carefully, you can see cat faces on the black fabrics. #quilt

#quilt Here is one of my favorite quilts. It’s a wall hanging and it is the Ricky Tim’s Convergence Quilt pattern.

I’m starting a scrappy Jacob’s Ladder quilt. I love this green block. Next one will be purple. Not sure it will go very fast but the finished block is cool. #quilt
