August is still a busy month for many of us. Everyone that I know who loves to sew, is busy trying to fit projects and blocks in between visits and vacations and activities during our warm weather. I was lucky to be able to sew a purse this week, and win in a giveaway!!
I already considered myself lucky to have found a delightful blog to follow , called Cat Patches.

| Cat Patches by Barbara |
I just love to see what Barbara is up to with every new post.... is it about her adorable cats, her embroidery, her quilt making, her gardening , her delicious food, her trips in the RV with her cats, or her photography today?.... I am amazed at all that she creates!
Barbara posted about a piece of art she got for hanging on her garage. It is called a barn quilt block , from Classic Metal Company. They have lots of different styles of quilt blocks to choose from. So cute!

I decided to put it on top of my window frame, in my sewing room, so I can see it all of the time!
