Labor day..and a little bit of sewing.
Well not too much sewing today...my machine is still acting up, but I was able to make a log cabin block, I tried Jenny D's flying geese but put it together wrong, I sewed together blocks together and made a cute mat...candle mat maybe?? its not flying geese but it came out nice. I then sewed together a bunch of 2 1/2 squares and made a few cat mats for the logal shelter. I went to go grab the hudge bag of fabric that I decided to get rid of yesterday...hubby already got rid of them...figures...Oh well...I still had some fabric in my scrap pile for the backing and a few pieces of batting that was the perfect size. I practiced FMQ'ing on them. He will bring them to the animal shelter...the kitties will love them and I had a good time making them.

Sounds like you were busy! Love the idea of the cat mats for the shelter. I have made a couple of small quilts for my cat, one finished is in her kitty condo, two are still tops waiting to be done. And I used them to learn machine quilting too. She's happy to have something cuddly and I'm happy to be able to practice!

I am glad to have a use for some of my fabric that I know I will not use. The cats at the shelter will snuggle in them. Most of it was given to me and I have made several quilts from them. I am so ready to look at different fabric. The log cabin is very easy, but its going to be slow going. Not sure how big I am going to make it. hoping a lapsize, but all depends on how much of the white flower fabric. I am hoping I have more somewhere in my stash.
