My laundry today
Here is my laundry hanging to dry.
I just washed a bunch of 4-inch paper pieced blocks I made way back in July of 2009. They needed a good wash because the other day my cat, Feather, got locked in my sewing room all day. When I finally discovered him late at night he had been confined for at least 12 hours. He was very happy to get out and I thought all was well. NOT. My sewing room smelled very peculiar (that's putting it nicely). Today I searched and sniffed every pile of fabric in there. I found one small collection of blocks that the poor cat had decided to use as his temporary sandbox. Whew!
After this wash, I hope they will be as good as new. If you want to see some of the blocks, go to the July, 2009 archive here. I did a block-a-day series that year. There are free paper piecing foundations to print out, too.

What a lovely surprise to find you are blogging again! I imagine I am not the only cyberspace friend who has missed you. Looking forward to your completed "Chocolate Box 1". And subsequent versions!
I, too have had cats mark my quilt blocks or fabrics. I've always been able to wash the odor away except once. I used a spray on Fabreze for that one.
