My magnetic personality



This is Connie's applique quilt  - she spends her winters in Arizona and found this pattern there.  Her applique is beautifully done and her fabric choices are wonderful. Connie has a world class stash, in fact after my husband Peter saw it he started calling Connie "Mrs. Stash". 






Connie also has a world class collection of polka dots.  She used a different polka dot fabric for almost all of the cactus sections without repeating a fabric - and there are 12 of these cactus blocks!


 
 
 
 
What is it about me and orange cats?  Last summer there were two orange strays that I fed.  One ended up at the humane society and one I managed to find a new home for.  Now I have three orange cats on my doorstep - I must be an orange cat magnet!

  3. But look how adoringly they are all looking at you. Maybe they are a brotherhood of orange strays, arriving at your door after last year's crop spread the word. Kind of like the Redheaded League in Sherlock Holmes.
