Wet Wednesday

We had a badly needed, and a good soaking rain yesterday. Our field has been brown and parched from lack of water, but I could swear it looks greener already. We're expecting more rainfall this week. It's really starting to feel as if fall is approaching.

There was a feline finish here yesterday. The binding strips were already cut for the Welcome Home mystery mini. I love a fun binding, don't you? This fabric was added to my stash somewhere along the way. I have a whole drawer of stripes and polka dots that look like bindings to me. This is just one of them.

Here's the whole quilt. It isn't a favorite of mine, but I'm happy with how it turned out. It seems both muted and colorful at the same time.

Here's how it looks from the back.

At least one of the resident felines appurroves.

We're gearing up for another RV trip next week. As I mentioned once before, the new RV has an entry way that gives us new worries about escapees when we open the door after going down the road. The obvious solution is to have the kitties ride in the bedroom with the door closed so that we can open the door without worrying someone will fly out. Now there are two kitty quilts I can lay on the bed and, hopefully, that will give them a place to call their own as we travel down the road. We've had many a kitty who enjoyed riding on the bed. Now they have a little fabric "box" to mark purrsonal space.

Finishing this quilt was my September project for

so I'll be linking up at the end of the month.

In yesterday's mail, this t-shirt arrived. I couldn't resist it. It's a little late for this year, but I'm set for next time around. There were several to choose from on this Tee Spring website, but this one was my favorite.

This morning I spent a good long time with the latest of the Snow Globes blocks.

With the top pretty much finished, I moved my hoop down to the base of the snow globe, and I'll get started there tomorrow morning.

Today I'm making a short trip to the grocery store. When I get home I'm trying a new recipe for a cucumber gazpacho. I'll have to let you know how it turns out. The recipe calls for blue crab, but we're strictly Dungeness crab here in Oregon. I'm hoping I can pick up some fresh today. I'll have to let you know how it turns out.

There's a little housework to catch up on, but I'm hoping to have some time in the sewing room this afternoon. The dark blue blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge are next on my list.

We're keeping good thoughts for those of you in the path of Hurricane Florence, my Virginia and Carolina friends. We're concerned for your welfare, so please stay safe.
