Speakin' of spiders, I started a new project. Don't know if I'll work on this full time, or be something that I do inbetween other blocks. They are fun to make and yes, the pattern came from Bonnie.
The red fabric for the centers is actually Christmas fabric. It had a border running along one edge and is laying over -----> there on the floor in my scrap bin. Anybody working on a Christmas quilt they need a border for?...guess I need to post a picture. There won't be enough red fabric to make as many blocks as I'd like, so the extra/odd blocks will probably be black or gold. There is one light blue star that I was determined to make the blocks with, but after making just one, it just didn't work for me. As my good friend CindyB says...Red always looks good in quilts! The blocks are pinned to my flannel-wall, and they still have the paper on them so they're a little floppy looking.
If you look close, there is some pink JohnDeere flannel fabric and some real old stuff too. I still have some homespun plaids...does one ever get rid of that stuff?
It's raining and cool here this morning. Wish I could just stay home and sew.

How cool! Love the look of these blocks.
We have spiders too and also an invasion of wasps wanting to come in where it's warm.
We have an invasion of flies, here. And I noticed that our feed building is being invaded by mice! But I guess that is part of farm life! :)
I really like those blocks! She has such wonderful patterns on her website doesn't she? I do like all of the scraps that you are using. I LOVE scrap quilts, they are my favorite!

Love these blocks! I like that alien blue one, too!!
Shoot, I just heard the other day about a method to get rid of spiders, and do you think that this head would unlock the clue, right now, when I need it? NO! When I remember, I will let you know.
I know at camp (Club Mud) I used those little plug in thingys that sort of vibrated the wires and annoyed the crap outta the spiders and they stayed away. I thought it was a miracle, at a camp!
Hope you are doing well, my friend.

Whoa - I missed the neat spider web quilt - that's # 14 on my "to Do" list! 8-)))
