Another block from the given-up-mystery.
Happy Birthday Jody

As soon as I saw this block online I knew it was the perfect one for Gail’s birthday. Her cats are constant companions on our sewing days.
This finished a bit larger than most of my cards – 8″ x 8″.

It took me two sewing sessions with Stacia and Deloise to get this one done. In our first session everything was going well until it came time to find fabric for backing. I had a fabric in mind from a project I made years ago and recently took apart to re-use the fabric. The piece was a bit too narrow so I knew I was going to have to piece it. Not my favourite thing to do but …
On our second session, a few weeks later, I pieced the backing then sandwiched and quilted it. I still had the binding from the original project and it fit perfectly. An evening of sewing finished the whole thing and I can now move on to the next one.
I’m currently five projects behind my sisters – they will finish the book in December just in time to start our 2026 sewing-together project.
Happy Birthday Ken

I had the top of this block done as part of the mystery I gave up on. The quilting is a simple as I could make it but even so I was almost late getting the into the mail.
I wish I had taken a picture of the back of the card as the fabric is the same skunk pattern (with flowers) that I used on Madison’s placemats.
