"Why are you in such a bustle? " asked Mr. Pinker as I brushed past him.
"I have a block to piece. " I hurried into the quilt room as Mr. Pinker stood silently watching .
When all of a sudden... "Clank , Thump, Crash! KaBlam!!!!"
"Oh Butterfingers! " I screamed in frustration as I dodged a small tote tumbling to the floor.
Mr. Pinker rushed to the quilt room doorway.
"What's going on in here?" he inquired.
"Grumble! Grumble! " I snarled. " My rolling cart gave way from the pressure of the totes and .... Boo Hoo... look at all of this mess!"
Mr. Pinker stood wide eyed saying nothing. Slowly but surely, he began to back out of the doorway as I gathered an armload of fabrics and rushed out of the room - only stopping briefly mind you to turn around and stick my tongue out at the protruding mess bulging from the quilt room. 😜"I am out of here! " I said and with that I went to the living room to sort and cut my fabrics.
Meanwhile, Mr. Pinker had quietly retreated to the safety of the downstairs.
Soon I was stroking and petting all of the pretty calicoes and prints . All was good again.
After making a selection of fabrics, I began to cut out the strips for Melva's 8th block called Heart .
"This looks like a fun one to piece. " I said to no one in particular. I could feel a sense of calmness wash over me.
After cutting the fabrics , I went to a spare sewing machine that I had tucked in the corner and began piecing the block. And a short time later, the Heart block was all pieced.
Soon a sweet aroma drifted from the kitchen. Mr. Pinker was baking. I proudly took my block to the kitchen.
" How are you doing? " asked Mr. Pinker.
" I am in love- look at my block."
"Pretty " said Mr. Pinker. "Lookie what I have here. " Mr. Pinker then pulled a Toll House pie from the oven.
"Eeeh" I squealed in delight. Yes, all was good . Well except for the mess in the quilting room. But I will have to muster up some strength to tackle that . Perhaps that is a weekend job. 😏😜
