Is anyone else planning on seeing Nosferatu? The trailer looks awesome! I’m hoping to see it this weekend because I doubt our smallish town theater will keep it longer than one week. :/

At our house, this would be Emily. She has that stare while her littermate, Boppy chirps, shows her belly, looks all of the adorbs, and generally pesters us until she gets her Princess Food. (Pic is Princess Boppy. Emily is too busy managing her serfs and properties to sit for a portrait.)

I’ve been hand-sewing hexagon blocks with paper templates to keep the edges crisp. It’s a great project to take along.
Here’s a block to show the construction. Each edge of the hexagon is three inches. I will remove the papers after the quilt top is finished.

Hubby is in remodeling mode. <3
We live in an old Victorian house & he spent today removing layers of wallpaper (the top one’s textured) to repair & smooth the plaster beneath. Our dogs want me to mention they’re great helpers (mostly by dropping their ‘I wanna play fetch!’ balls in the way ;) )

Fwiw, here are my fabrics and hardware. Top to bottom, main fabric, lining, and accent. It should look pretty cool when it’s done.

Most of one block of a potato-chip quilt I’m making for our daughter. (All batik. She wanted jewel tones and black)

Piper, foreground, wants me to throw her squeaky while Rowan, background, is poised to steal it. We play this game roughly fifteen-gazillion times a day — at least it feels that way. ;) #terriers
