New Thread Holder and Month Nine Catherine's Garden BOM

Velma Holding Thread
My new thread holder, I don't recommend it for usefulness.  If entertainment is high on your priority list then I give her a high rating.

Velma joined the fabric bomb to lend a helping paw.

I watch her very carefully so she isn't able to chew thread.  She isn't allowed in the sewing room.




The new block set for month Nine is posted and ready to go HERE.

We are now at 10 blocks, borders and corners.  This photo doesn't show my finished corners because you cant finish yours until the blocks are completed.

SH, a stitching friend has all of her blocks done and is on her fourth border.  She has the benefit of 'connections' and got the full pattern set at once...I am hoping she lets me share her top with you very soon.
Would you like to see it? Maybe hers and mine together?

Have a great week!
Dawn

    I'm not making the quilt (for obvious reasons), but I would love to see yours and your friend's. I love this quilt.

    lol! I would say Velma wouldn't be a good thread holder. :D I trained Mia from kitten age on to avoid my threads and yarns. I think she also learned her lesson when a kitten by having a bad encounter with some string. Not good!

    I have two thread holders of my own although one of them is more of a thief than a holder. He has been know to grab a threaded needle and run away with it! Good thing they are cute. Catherine's Garden is a beautiful quilt!

    Catherine's Garden is such a beautiful quilt especially with the yellow background. Velma is doing a terrific job. It's hard to find good help.

    You should let Velma in your sewing room - I just know she would be very helpful! I just love your quilt - can't wait to see your friend's version.

    I would guess that Velma is more of a batter than holder....

      She's good at throwing too - makes the chase all the more fun.
