RAINING CATS AND DOGS ,et al

 
As you can see above!!!
We have not had more than .03"
up to today...

Whoa--unfortunately we are having
a few little roof leaks in our tv room....

 ****************************
And, in honor of this very welcome rain
[except for the leaks, of course!],
I un-earthed my old applique
{very} long term project:
↴↴↴↴
Moon, Garden, Stars...
A Jan Patek pattern...

I am so in love πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™with this 
project--why didn't I finish it?????
Isn't that the burning question??
πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€
[Lizzy, I didn't forget this one ;)))]

Here is my version so far:
I laid it out to see what needs
to be done next...

The white cardboard templates indicate fabric to be
cut and turned before I can sew this one...

So<<<
Cross bars, kitty, house, 
chimney, door, windows,
and our Eagle...
And
what fabrics will look best...

Luckily, [and unusually!}, 
I had put all my chosen fabrics
in the storage box along with the 
instructions, too.  For once,
I did the right thing!! 

Let's see if I still like my
 choices though!!
Quilting is so all about
DECISIONS!!

*************************
Pavement Blocks is all pin basted
and now I can set up Helga for
machine quilting...
I have 4 pieces to work on...

Just finished this morning...
**************************
Meanwhile it is still pouring down outside
Now: 3.86"
We may even get over 4" before this is over...
so far our cellar is dry...
Fingers crossed that it will stay that way...

I hope you are staying dry inside today if you
are having this deluge of rain...
Hugs,

P.S.  Over 4" right this minute!!
