Thank you guys so much for your help finding little Clarkson. Your kind words, happy vibes to the universe and your helpful hints made all of the difference. The little
Want to see what he's doing when I'm usually writing blog posts? He crawls under the laptop because he likes the heater. What a little monkey.
Well, quilting world has seriously slowed with the move. I had to pack up the stash and the sewing machine a few days ago, so it's only hand work that's moving ahead. I finished my table runner for the Canadian Abroad swap and it will go in the post today. I wish I took a photo before I packed it up to send. My mind's not focusing lately.
I also finished hand stitching the binding on Mod Logs. It's all done and dusted except for a few loose threads that need cutting and a final wash. There's a larger washing machine at the new house, so I'm holding out 'til we move to get it all crinkly.
What do do to celebrate? How about a giveaway? Would you like the original version of my pattern? Just leave a comment below and I'll hold a drawing on Monday. I (by accident) packed it (argh!) already, so it will go into the post in about 10 days time. Sorry, guys!

#2 is my lucky number so here's hoping.
So glad cheeky rascal cat came home :)
And I'm in LOVE with that quilt. Guess what I'm making next now!
So happy your little guy came home. I had a cat leave me for 9 months, then show up on my doorstep like nothing had ever happened! Love your quilt and I'd love your pattern!
I will eat your share of turkey! Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh Cindy, I'm so so so happy your cheeky little guy found his way home. May your evenings be full of snuggles and your bed be full of fluff :-)
Remember Donkey in the original Skrek? when he was jumping up and down and saying "pick me, pick me" well put my face on that ass ...hehehe
What a beautiful quilt! And so glad your cat came back! Thanks for a chance to win! :)
Congratulations on your reunion!! And your Mod Logs is so beautiful! Excellent work!
Congratulations!, it is all good news in Fluffy Sheep's Quilting world!, little baby is back, new home, bigger washing machine!
You might win the lotto tonght, and I might win this lovely giveaway!;)
Yay! I've been checking your blog regularly since you posted that he had gone missing, hoping that you would post that he had returned. I'm so happy for you that he's back and I love starting my day with such happy news.
Oops! That anonymous comment above is from me! Haven 't had my morning coffee yet...
Aww so happy you got your baby back! Love that pattern as well.
Great the little guy is back. I worried so much for you. Just love the pattern. Happy Thanksgiving
So glad that your litle cat has turned up, you may find that he doesn't venture out so much now - that's what happened to one of my son's cats who went missing for several days, she eventually turned up covered in cobwebs and wasn't so keen to go outside after that! I'd love a chance to win that super pattern. Liz
Cindy, so glad you got your furbaby back. Gemma was worried about him (she is an animal freak, if she doesn't end up working with animals somehow there is no justice in the world). Her uncle found a small mixed breed dog on Monday (out in the middle of nowhere when he was working), took him home, no collar, microchip etc. We've put posters up in the local vets etc to see if anyone claims him. She is hoping nobody does as they have said they will keep him if an owner does not turn up. Clarkson looks like he is so happy to be home and I bet you are a lot happier now. Love your quilt especially the colours you've used.
Best of luck with the move and enjoy the rest of your Thanksgiving day.
I seem to have missed some posts. Gahhh! Firstly, so happy your kitty is home and keeping warm. Secondly, Happy Thanksgiving! Thirdly, you`ve moved! Happy New Home! Fourthly, I love that pattern and love that quilt so in the words of Kat, `Pick me! Pick me!`.
Well that is the best news Cindy!! Now you have something to be really thankful for.
Ha, Clarkson's not daft, he knows where his food and warmth comes from ;o)
Loving the mod logs quilt, such bright, cheery colours :o)
I already won when I heard he came back! (Seriously, I cried...as a cat mama that is one of my worst nightmares.)
I shall be humming "The Cat Came Back" all day.
Oh so pleased to hear that moggy showed up! What a rascal for putting you through all that worry! Your quilt is stunning Cindy! I hope the move goes smoothly. Thinking of you, Jxo
I'm so glad you found him! I was thinking of it last night and realized I hadn't read an update and was getting nervous haha -- Chinese food is absolutely a thanksgiving tradition, just add movies to it and your set (that might be a christmas thing i'm thinking of but it'll still work!) enjoy your day!
I'm so, so glad he's home :) And your quilt is looking lovely!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the chance to win! :)
So glad to hear that your little wanderer has returned!
Great quilt! I'd love to make one too!
Yay he is home! We move house next friday/saturday so I so know where you are coming from with things you want being packed! Im dreading it with 2 animals, sorry I mean children, a cat, a dog and 5 chickens! Id love the make the quilt when we are all settled in.
So glad Clarkson is home.
Very pleased that your cat has come to appreciate you and home! He looks quite content there. Your quilt is gorgeous. Love the colours you used more than those on the pattern. But I would not be adverse to having the pattern for myself. ;-)
I'm so glad to hear he's home and looking very cute!
Your quilt looks fabulous! Can't wait to see it all crinkly :)
I'm so glad he's home! Love the quilt and good luck with the move!

We celebrated thanksgiving last month so it was an ordinary day here but I always love a reminder to be thankful.... And an excuse to eat pie. ;)
Pizza sounds good to me. Did you share it with your little friend? Love the quilt as the White makes the colours so bright and zingy.
I'm so glad that your little kitty came home! I'm just waiting for the apple pie to be done so I can eat it! The quilt is beautiful :)

So glad to hear your good news of the little furry one,good luck with the move,
they do say when you move house with cats, to keep them in for a few weeks, so they get used to the new home, before venturing out into the big new world...your quilt is fab, I have just the fabric *wink*
That is a relief! So happy your little one returned home!
Beautiful quilt as well. :)
