Not all my own work
When I was down in Alexandra the other day, mum gave me an old piece of appliqué she’s had for ages, and asked it I could quilt it and turn it into a cushion cover for her. So that’s what I spent yesterday afternoon doing (in between writing that ridiculously long blog post). Stupidly, I…
A Reindeer on the Doorstep

OMG Now I’m so confused!
I like the last one too!
They are ALL so interesting!
You must have a mathematical mind. . . I would never figure all that out!
The last one, definitely the last one.
That is SERIOUSLY impressive though, I love it…. the mental sparks are flying… GAH! I have too many PHDs already, can’t possibly start a new project. WANT to though!
I like the 4 squares in the middle and diamond shaped from your previous post best, I think. So pretty 🙂
Last one for me too! You are one clever little kitten. Well done and Happy New Year.
