Who knew that there were so many ways to cook potatoes. Loved she took them from plant to finished product and made it look easy.

It bothers me that the cat is hunched at the end in a posture that usually means they're in pain.
My vet told me that cats eat grass, as in lawn, because their tummy is upset. There's Friskies canned cat food that provides vegetable matter for indoor cats. The plant here isn't happy either.

But .... I laughed so hard at the inept jump onto the bed and the wide blown eyes. I'm a bad person.

1 Pack of 10" Squares (42x) Print
1 Pack of 10" Squares (42x) Solid
1/4 yds. of Cornerstones (2 1/2" squares)
2 yds. of Sashing (2 1/2" wide)
1 1/4 yds. of Border (4" wide border)

Layer 2 Fabric and Background fabric 10" squares right sides together. Draw lines diagonally from corners and sew 1/4" either of these 2 lines. Cut from middle of sewn block sides (in half and half again) into quarters and then cut along drawn lines from corner to corner. = 8 half square triangle squares.

Sew the half square triangles into geese. = 4 geese units.

Sew 2 geese together to make a geese unit. Arrange all 4 units so the colors are in the same color order for the block and make a pinwheel.


Cut 2 1/2" sashing to the length of the sides of the block. Sew to one block side and then sew to the next block and so on into a row (4 blocks wide).

Sew sashing strips to cornerstones in a row and then sew to 4 block unit row.

Celia Sheen plays the theme tune from ITV's drama series "Midsomer Murders" on the Theremin. She has done so, along with incidental music, on the soundtrack of every episode for fourteen years. This fascinating instrument was the world's very first electronic instrument, invented in 1920 by Russian scientist Lev Theremin. Of course, nobody ever sees Celia's performances on the recordings, but what makes it interesting is that the Theremin is played without being touched!
