Some Quilting

Once I got started quilting yesterday, I had so much fun! It was good that I did all the picking out the night before; otherwise, I'd probably still be dreading doing it. I had quite an audience for my quilting pleasure. Miss Gracie:

That's her favorite chair. Gracie has many places for sleeping. They're all her favorites. We keep that towel there in her honor. Her blond fuzz is almost impossible to vacuum off. And, honestly, why would you want to?

Smitty enjoys scratching his chin on Eliza's control screen. Have you ever noticed how itchy kittys' chins are?

And just so you know, when I'm sitting in my chair and I look to the left, this is what I see.

Yes, that's the cord for the pleated shade draped across the top there to keep it out of the snapping jaws of little furry critters who like to chew through such things.

So just what did I do on the quilting, you ask? Well...there's "Meow Minor".

I left the face markings so you could see them. I'm going to put some hot fix crystals there. Also, despite Smitty's dislike for striped cats, I gave the cat some stripes.

Then I quilted a comet into the sky for this block. I have more plans for it, but that will require a change of thread. As I said yesterday, I'm only working with one thread at a time.

All of the moons have their craters now, and I've switched off to the gold metallic. I used it to give this star some extra points.

And here's the owl constellation. I have more plans for this block as well.

I have to make this a quick post because I'm meeting Sue for oatmeal and a walk this morning. I even have new waterproof walking shoes this morning. (I really hope they don't give me blisters.) Despite our terrible weather forecast, I think Sue and I might escape the rain. I'm putting on my rain gear as extra insurance.

But before I go, here's the label I created for this quilt:

It's not printed off yet. I might decide to add the subtext below the quilt name, thus:

[and you might land among the stars] 

What do you think?

Okay, gotta go.
