It's time for I Like Thursday! Please visit LeeAnna over at Not Afraid of Color to read more like minded posts. I have a few finishes to show you this week. I finished my Kaffe Scrap Pin Cushion. I filled it this morning with crushed walnut shells. I like them when they're nice and pudgy! It measures about 5 inches square.

Our prompt this week was calendars you like to use. These are the 2 calendars I'm using this year. The top one was a Christmas gift from my friend, Sarah. We're both cat lovers. It's hanging in my sewing room. The bottom one is from my mother. She knows I love cats and couldn't pass it by! I have it on my refrigerator. I usually write appointments on the bottom calendar so I can see what I have coming up. It's easy to see since I walk by it all the time.
I'm so late today. I was sewing a binding on a quilt and I knocked off a thread cutter. I had no idea where it came from. I ended up getting the manual and looking for it. I tried to google it but nothing helped me. I finally found it and put it back in but it took forever. Ugh.
Have a great weekend! It's snowing here but it's all supposed to turn to rain. (I hope!)
What a sweet pincushion. Kaffe fabrics make everything look extra happy. Love your cat quilt. I too have a cat who likes to sit on whatever I'm working on.
