When there's very little sewing progress, I just post cat pictures...

Not a whole lot of sewing going on here this week due to an upturn in the amount of work that's been coming my way (yay!). I'm hoping this is a good sign that things will be picking up and I can continue to freelance -- working in my sweats all day with a cat curled up on my lap has really dampened any thoughts of going back to work in an office. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I did get some cutting done at some point, though -- in anticipation of doing a "Leaders & Enders" top someday, the remains of my "Silly Safari" jelly roll became this cute little stack:


I had no sooner started taking pictures when The Inspector showed up.

First the stack just got sat next to...


Then checked for freshness...


Tested for durability...

(Yes, that's a moving pad on my piano. Not my first design choice, but it protects against manic kitty claws.)

And eventually approved.


Looks like we're good to go!

miss kate - got your email with the scrap idea for the quilt.

i am going to visit my dad's and going to see if there might still be anything left in one of the closets from my mom (not on your list of ideas, but i am going to check anyway), even though i think it's pretty much all gone.

i am going to be in oregon later in may and plan to get something "nana" then.

however, patrick wasn't as keen on the "kathleen" piece... but i might enlist brother tom on the case ...

umm, guess i could have emailed all that to you. but i was on your blog. and i didn't want to forget.

Who can resist a stack of fabric that looks that comfy? Great pics!

Of course the inspector knows exactly when to show up. Both to make sure you did your job, and to squeeze in an adorable photo-op!! I don't blame you not wanting to go back to an office. This Inspector is too cute to leave!
