Another House Block Done

I was hanging out with a friend yesterday and managed to get another house block done:



When I got home I spritzed the block to get the blue pen out and you couldn't even tell the bird on the left was a bird. I guess it was too small with too much detail so I picked out the quilting and put a more basic shape in. Looks a lot more like a bird now LOL.

When Bob saw the revision he said that the cat was rather large. I explained that it was a Maine Coon cat just like my friend Cathi's cat Smudge :0) Click on Cathi's name and watch the video of Smudge drinking water, it really cracked me up LOL.

Finally I will have a couple of days, with nothing planned, so I can get a secret project finished and into the mail. Once it's received I will show a picture.

Several had asked how I like having high speed internet....all I can say is "Why the heck did I wait for so long!!!" LOL. The best part is being able to watch videos....the worse part is I don't get my housework done. With the dial up I would get chores done while the blogs would load. Oh well, it will get done eventually :0)

Love your house block and the quilting! The high speed internet is great, but there is a lot out there to "eat up" our time. I'd have a whole lot of finished quilts if I didn't blog surf so much every day.

Chris, I love your house blocks. You did an amazing job on them.

I like the whimsy of the quilting. It suits those blocks so well. I heard a tip re internet chewing up too much time. Put a timer on and obey it when it commands you to stop!

Yay for high speed! Isn't it amazing? I resisted for so long, until the guys ganged up on me. But now I am the one who has enjoyed the wonders of cyberspace ;-)

What quilter would choose housecleaning over quilting? I think the cat is just right. Cute Smudge video.

Oh, I remember the days of dial up and how much I did in between pages coming up. Now I am so spoiled.
Love the block with the kitty. And that video of the cat, so funny. I cracked up the whole time I watched it.
