{this moment} ~ A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

How did I miss this one?


Sometimes, weekends provide a little space for you to accomplish things that
normally you just don't have time to do...
For me this weekend, it was cleaning out the photos on my computer...

When it came time to download the new photos off my phone of the quilts I have
been working on or have finished lately, I realized that I had somehow forgotten
to post this little one...

It is one that I am sending to my nephew and his wife for their son...
You see, little ones tend to grow out of baby quilts...and have a need for a new 
size with some new colors.

I chose this fabric for all the bright and modern colors...and because I loved it so.
(insert...can't remember the name of this amazing line...UGH!)

Thank you suemac !!!  Juggling Summer by Zen Chic


Just a simple pattern to be sure...but one that will last through 
all the fort building, couch cuddling and car traveling I hope this little
quilt will be lucky enough to experience with it's new little boy..



This little quilt boasts a difference not found in any of my other quilts...
and I blame it all on Rita at Red Pepper Quilts...
and her GENIUS!






Sew...did you see it? Look closely...
I didn't bind this quilt!!!!

Rita's tutorial was just too tempting not to try...
and this was the perfect time and quilt to work her magic on!

It was a very quick work of fun...maybe that is how I missed showing it
to you...I had it all cut out, stitched and quilted before I realized it.
I think it only took a full day...

Anyway, it is finally off to it's new owner...
A Bit LATE...but that's what happens when you 
have too many irons in a fire!




Yes, they are BOTH off to their new little people...

With lots of kisses and hugs...

Have a good week everyone!

Black Cat Crossing...Day 2...MY DAY!!!

creative eye make up art tal peleg

Hello my little Kitties....

I am so glad to see you here today...
I have some friends to introduce you to...
and even have a little surprise at the end...
But, this almost didn't happen...

I haven't signed on any of the 
previous three "Wicked" hops...
I just didn't know what I 
would do ...
So this hop was really not 
on my radar either...

Until I saw the fabric...






All the purple, black, green...a little orange...
PERFECTION!
IT WAS ON!!!

Thank you to our fearless leader, 
Wendy from Why Not Kwilt!
and of course...
Madame Samm of Sew We Quilt 
for all the work and planning
to put this little "cat walk"
together!
hehehehe...

Here kitty, kitties...
(before we begin...did I mention I broke a large mirror last week?)



You aren't superstitious are you?


Well, that's good...




Since these little black cats
like to travel together...




And they don't mind inviting friends...
even if they are all a little different.



I mean there's nothing to be afraid of...
in the daylight....



Even if the wind seems to be blowing across the fabric...



Everyone wants to get in on the act...


And even snuggle up as the sun
seems to be showing off it's final light...



Just a little walk in the woods...






But when the sun finally goes down...

be ready...

My little black kitties crossing...
glow in the dark when the lights go out....


These little girls are hard to photograph ...especially when they glow!!!!

I hope you enjoyed your time here today....

Now go!  

Visit these
wonderful ladies...
They are going to WOW you !!!!
