I hand-embroidered this sleepy kitty, based on the image in the book Stitchy Kitty Fuzzy Puppy by Ayaka Otsuka. Hand work isn’t something I usually want to do, but every once in a while I get the urge.

Ready to Retro
The Halloween party theme was As Retro As You Can Go. In the attic, Kevin found some stuff he’d worn in college. He cleaned up his shoes as the shorts and an Eric Clapton concert t-shirt were in the wash. He fondly remembered wearing them as his nonconformist uniform.
At the party, he went to the backyard where he found a group of men dressed exactly like him: scuffed shoes (no socks), plaid shorts, ragged concert t-shirts. They looked like sartorial clones. So much for being nonconformist, Kevin sighed, as he crossed the deck to be assimilated into the pod.

Sashed Half Hexagon Quilt in Asian Fabrics
I have an easy time buying beautiful fabric but a hard time it cutting up. I managed to do just that, however, for this Sashed Half Hexagon quilt in Asian fabrics. It will soon go to the quilter, then the binding goes on. After that, I will give to a friend who is unaware I am making a quilt for them. And it’s someone who doesn’t read my blog, so I am totally safe in showing it to everyone else.
The pattern is the Sashed Half Hexagon by Missouri Star Quilt Company.
