Just how mischievous can one cat be? Well… Mom had seeds for some Bird of Paradise and Red-tipped Yuccas that she was planting in rows along the fences. Ludo was apparently digging them up as fast as she could plant them which then encouraged the birds to try and make off with the seeds. (Maybe it was his plan all along to entice the birds… LOL) After all that mischief, he decided to nap in the pot of freshly planted day lilies.

After Rachelle snapped the third picture of him, he’d had enough of his sleep being disturbed…

He doesn’t look very happy with Rachelle, does he? LOL

After several attempts, I managed to get a picture of Josh’s quilt. I was having a difficult time getting a picture where the quilt looked straight. I had Tyler and Rachelle hold the corners and Tyler’s about a foot taller than Rachelle so the quilt kept looking a little lopsided. I should have checked this picture closer before I packed up the quilt and mailed it. For some reason the top right corner is fuzzy. Maybe the lens needs to be cleaned…

and the detail shot…

I like the method Evelyn Sloppy gives for making flying geese for this quilt, but I’m not happy with the way too many of the flying geese points got clipped. I’m assuming it has to do with the ruler I used to square up the flying geese. Here’s a tutorial showing how the flying geese were made and I used the ruler like the one pictured in the tutorial. I have Eleanor Burns small flying geese ruler and have used it successfully to make flying geese without the corners getting clipped but it was too small for these units. I think if I’d had her bigger ruler and used it to square up these units, they would have come out okay. That’s my plan for next time. Live and learn everyday, right?

In a week oldest DS, Nathan, and his girlfriend, Koren, will be here for a visit and in ten days oldest DD, Jessica,will be home from Montana. This happy momma hen will have all her little chicks at home for a short time.
