Here's Block 4 of the Catalicious series. This one was a lot faster to stitch up than the last one cause it's simpler but a really cute block. Love the way the cat is looking at the bird. Rilo has never seen a bird up close cause she's an indoor cat but I think she'd squirm a bit more if she did get that close to one. Bronwyn's Brutus seems a lot more laid back.
I've been busy lately so haven't been on here at all. We're planning for the Fall bazaar now so we won't have to do it all at once come September so I have a few small projects lined up for that. Also the weather has been so nice that it's really a shame to be indoors.
I'm also wading my way through the book "The Gargoyle". When I was at the church making sandwiches this morning to send to the downtown east side I asked a couple of other ladies what they thought of the book. One said she hated it. "Who recommended it anyway?" Uh... the minister. It's a very odd book for a minister to be recommending but I'm really trying to read it. I haven't found anyone who really likes it but what if we had a book club meeting and no one showed up cause they didn't like the book? Especially when it's the minister that recommended it? So I'm pressing on. I got to page 118, looked some stuff up on the internet to see if it was really historical fiction and it is so I've now read another 50 pages. But it's 500 pages long! On the outside it looks like a book about a porn star who is badly burned in a car accident and a schizophrenic. But the schizophrenic claims she is 700 years old and lived in a monastery when she was a child. The monastery exists (existed) and the people she talks about existed. I've never heard of either so that makes it interesting cause I like to learn new things. It also talks a lot about what is involved in a burn unit which is also interesting because the Fire Fighter's Burn Fund is one of our charities we support so I'm glad to know more about what is involved there.
Okay, off to download this month's Gifts of Grace block so I can get started on that tonight.

Your new block is darling! I hate plodding through those books but sometimes they turn out better than you think. I hope yours does! Lisa
Love your new block I just finished quilting this one with the same blocks in it ,so its interesting to see your blocks I'll try to post it after dinner .
I read a lot but the book has to catch my attention ,if after a couple of chapters I'm not interested in it back to the library it goes .
Your block is so cute.
I agree with Hazel, if a book doesn't keep my attention within the first few chapters back it goes.
