Day of Random...

 Good Evening Internet Friends!!!

Today I did a whole bunch of nothing exciting. 

Took doggies out for a loooooong walk.   Organized and sorted the junk and mail drawers.  Used up fridge left overs for lunch and still had other left overs for dinner.

Had a couple of appointments this afternoon to attend and with all the Covid protocols in place it literally took all afternoon for two quick appointments.  

After dinner and bike ride I sewed on the last row of my version of the 2019 Darlene D'Eon Designs 52 Week Jewel Box Block Challenge:

Made this entirely from left over scrap fabric from other quilting projects.  Will likely add a couple of borders to it.  Right now, LOVING the rich colours of this quilt.

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the BEST Day EVER Friday tomorrow.  Stay safe out there😷.

I'm Seeing Red.....and White...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Did some more blocks today on my 2018 Red and White 52 Week Block Quilt hosted by A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop:

I am going to make this quilt 60 blocks rather than the 52 as I want it to have overhang on my bed and not just cover the top!!

A few more blocks and I will be done.  Fingers crossed maybe I will have it done before I go back to work....😕

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Thursday🥳

Jewel Block 11

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Back to work today and have a FULL week ahead of me.  WOW.  Has been three weeks now since I worked a full week due to using up some of my overtime hours.

This evening after dinner I made Block 11 of the Jewel Box 52 Week Block Challenge hosted by A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop:

 Block 11 all neatly constructed from scrap fabric only.

Now meet all 11 Blocks together!!

TAH DAH

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Tuedsay.

It's ALL Red & White...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Took a quick bit of time to myself this evening after I got home from extracurricular activities with kiddo and grocery shopping at Costco.

Here is my latest edition of the the 2018 Red and White Block Challenge hosted by A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop:

It really is amazing how much red and white fabric I have....maybe that is also a problem....

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Friday.

It's Back to Work I Go...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Crazy busy day here in Kathyland again as tomorrow is back to work and school.  Kiddo will get a few breaks with semester break, PD days and non instructional days but for the next three months.....I work.

Did lots of cooking/baking/food prep today:

First up....this awesome salad that I used fresh veggies from the refrigerator to make.  Salad dressing is a recipe that I found in the latest edition of Costco Connection.  All veggies except for the green onion are from Costco.  My friends and family all know my mantra..."If you can't buy it at Costco - do you really need it?"

Then it was on to a batch of Rotten Banana Bread as my brother refers to it.  I will only eat bananas just as the green starts to turn yellow.  Any yellow or brown on the banana means it is "rotten" to me and needs to be made into muffins or bread:

For dinner I made a Shepherd's pie with more veggies from the freezer and a package of lean farm ground beef.  Used sweet potatoes for the topping:

For dessert I made an apple crisp using the frozen apple pie filling that I stashed away in the freezer last fall 🍎:

SOOOOOO Yummy.

In addition to housework, laundry, clearing snow off the deck and walking the doggie I did manage a bit of SEW time:

Blocks 17 & 18 of the Red and White 2017 52 Week Block Challenge hosted by a A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop. 

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wish you all
the Best Day EVER Monday.

Block 36...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

"Sew"  I have "sew" many cool things in my craft room just waiting for me embark or complete them and that is what I am setting about doing.

This year I am still focusing on taking care of ME first and then others.  Now that my 2015 52 week block challenge quilt has been returned to me and I have had it quilted I am feeling motivated to complete my other 52 week block challenge quilts.

This is Block 36 of my 2016 52 week block challenge quilt:

TAH DAH!!!  Yet again another pretty completed completely from the scrap fabric pile.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
