i thought orange tabbies was males but calicos are always female. That is the pattern that has always rang true with my cats.... & all the ones that I've know. That's is alot of cats.
But anyways, I'm about to start some sandwiching those little quilts. Shouldn't take long.

Pumpkin is a one-year old male tabby...and the most affectionate curious, playful cat I have ever owned. We have had 6 cats in the past 26 years and he has been the only male. I am sold on those male orange tabbies now; they almost have dog-like characteristics 
Of course, he has been all over my fabric and sewing table today!
Of course, he has been all over my fabric and sewing table today! So anyway, that's everyone's lesson on orange tabbies today!! LOL LOVE THEM and everyone should have one at least once in their life!! My tabby is the only cat I have considered taking a restraining order out on as she just wants to cuddle all the time!! Of course I let her, but it's quite amusing to see her follow me around, yes very dog like!!Cheers!

Just after 1 here & have my quilt finished. I had the binding done before I started quilting today as I had already done the SID. Glad to have this one finally finished! [ATTACH=CONFIG]365022[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]365023[/ATTACH]
Now I'm going to prepare some handwork for a bus trip I'm taking. I'm going to start the January block from theraspberryrabbits.com bom.

Keep up the good work everyone.

I love reading all the comments during our Virtual Quilting Day.
Jan, I had some reverse sewing to do on my quilt top and so I did it last night as I did not want to start the day going backwards (if you get my drift).
How smart were you; why didn't I think of that, LOL?!
Going backward first has put me in a bit of a mood, but, at least it's done now, and i still have time to sew.
For lunch today I went to a pub with my husband and we had roast beef and yorkshire pudding with lots of fresh vegetables and meaty gravy.
My mom used to fix roast beef and Yorkshire pudding...been decades since I've had it! I'll have to remind her to fix it now that she lives near me (before she 'goes', as she's 87 years young!)

Settling down for the evening in front of the television, will trace the templates for the applique whilst I am doing that and also cut out and sew on some labels.
Thanks to everyone for your company today, you kept me focused and Rachel once again a big thanks for organising today, looking forward to next month.

I've finished my reverse sewing. Have pieced one quadrant together. Laying out and sewing together the remaining two that were reversed......had to do this because they really were not squared enough the first time I did them, with Mother's help. I had to laugh, she was determined *that* side would match, and I was insistent *this* side was the 'main' one. Now I'm re-doing. But I won't tell her I had to remake them.
Might take a minute for a late afternoon sweet break.
Keep on keeping on, y'all! I'm in for the rest of the day til late, late, late. Like a real retreat, I won't go to bed til I'm near falling down!!
