Progress on Mutti and an Unexpected Project

Homage to Mutti has grown. 

 

Even if the dogs aren’t in my lap, I’ve found these small pieces hard to manipulate in my usual television-watching chair.  So, I’ve set up a station that provides better posture and still lets me watch Netflix programs on a computer screen as I work. 

 

Much to my dismay, our Guild president intercepted me as I was leaving last month’s meeting and talked me into participating in her President’s Challenge.  I spent some time this week drafting a foundation piecing template for a modified log cabin block and grabbed some random scraps to make a test block.  I'm still not satisfied but it is a start.

 

 

Here is a look at the fabrics in the kit.  According to the rules, I can add two to four additional fabrics, but must use all of these as well.  My favorite piece, the one with a red background and yellow flowers, is only a two-inch strip.

 

Today our temperature has reached the mid-90s and a dry front is bringing strong wind gusts.  Our lows for the next two nights may fall to the 30s.  I will be moving my patio plants to a more sheltered area in case it freezes.  It’s not supposed to, but you never know.
