Where has the week gone? Time just seems to be flying by. But that's okay. It is so cold right now that I can hardly wait for February to be over. The weather people are calling this cold spell a Siberian Express because it originates in Siberia. Last year was the year of the Polar Vortex. Crazy! But spring has got to be around the corner! It is, isn't it?
I did a lot of sewing this past week, but I have very little to show for it. I am still working on the Jungle Quilt, but right now I am just appliqueing the pieced down. My machine is not happy about that and is making a lot of silly noises. I may have to take it in for a tune up before I can continue,. I did, however, work on the Elephant Parade quilt. I got the frog done and made 4 little baby elephants. I have decided to make this quilt into a matching game. All of the adult elephants will have a matching baby elephant somewhere in the quilt. There will be two of each of the other baby elephants too. This is what I have done so far.
I also finished the little crocheted blanket I showed you last week. Unfortunately I gave it to my DD before I could get a photo of it. It is just a small blanket that she will use in the library when she takes William to story hour. I will try to get a photo of it later. When my DS saw the blanket he asked me to make something similar for his cats to sleep on. I found a couple of crocheted blocks in a bag at the bottom of a bin. I have no idea where they came from, or whether they were the beginning of a quilt or some left-over pieces. I am going to use them. This blanket should go together quickly and I think the cats will love it. I am going to run the ends in as I go. I hate having to still do them all at the end.

Funny thing. I was just thinking of your crocheted squares a couple of hours ago. I was straightening up and putting bags of yarn back where they came from and I thought I could use up some small pieces to make granny squares. The matching elephants sounds like a good idea.
I love those elephants, and the frog. I have to make a frog after some more elephants. This is a fun project.
Oh so very, very cute. Still resisting though!
I know I'm going to be sorry I didn't follow along and make these elephants. Yours look so cute! The cat will just love it's new bed. I think cats are very easy to please!
