Posted on: June 28th, 2023 by Lorna McMahon

For those of you who aren’t offended by a cat’s butt… Thank you for understanding why I had to share this design. Cat’s don’t mean to offend anyone either. Happy cats like to hold their tails high. Like a mood gauge, you can tell a cat feels comfortable around you when they wave that tail […]

On June 21st, my sister and I celebrated the first day of summer and National Indigenous Peoples Day by taking a quilt for a drive to Kettle Point, Ontario. Just across the lake from the USA. The shore was covered in shale. A very pleasant place for dipping your toes in the water. The weather […]
