My Pam Kitty Morning came from Fat Quarter Shop so I was excited to get going on my last couple sets of blocks for my row by row quilt and I hoped to even start sashing over the weekend. But I was slightly derailed. 
Friday night Shelbie, Whitney and I went to my neighbor Laura's for a pie making class. It was very enlightening and helpful (also delicious). I have never made a good pie crust. Ever. I hope to change that during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. No. I didn't make this pie above, Laura did. It is a caramel banana cream. 
Allison came to stay for a couple days. Of course that was a happy derail. Shelbie made Allison this super cute sweater and cap with her very talented knitting needles. The sticky candy face is courtesy left over Halloween candy. She looks pretty happy with herself.
I did manage a bit of sewing on Saturday. I cut out the 1.5" strips for my log cabin blocks in my row by row quilt. Can you just see that it doesn't matter what the block design is used, the PKM fabric is incredibly cute?
I used the strawberries for the center block. I couldn't be happier with how they are coming together. Unfortunately this is all I got done. But I love it.I had been chasing a cold all week last week and it finally hit Friday. It really slowed me down over the weekend and hit hard on Sunday. I hope it doesn't last long. I just loving using this fabric too much to let a cold get me down.

Allison looks so cute in her sweater and cap! Love the blocks using Pam's beautiful fabric.
I just found you blog on Saturday. Soooo much fun! Soooo many ideas! Thanks for blogging :)
love you choice of fabrics -- they are really cute! i have seen them being used on several other blogs. what is this row-by-row pattern that you are talking about? is it a pattern that one can buy? i have tried so hard to learn how to knit -- i just can't seem to get a hang of it. i do know how to crochet (sort of). the cap and sweater are so nicely done, and what a stunning model!
The fabric line really is quite fun. Hope you are feeling better.
You poor little sick thing. Hope you're feeling better soon.
LOVE LOVE LOVE these log cabins. I had been thinking of log cabin lately and omg these are so good!
Well, I'm swooning over Allison, fabric and those yummy log cabin blocks!
Take some vitamin C, I swear by it!
I hope you're feeling better today Nanette! You're doing such fun stuff with PKM's fabric -- I LOVE it. And little Allison is looking just a wee bit like her Grandma LOL??? (Do people tell you that all the time?)
Love your blocks, Nanette! Allison is too cute for words. =)
Love Allison's sweater, wish I could knit! Love Pam Kit Morning and your blocks are beautiful! I cannot make pie crust to save my life...
I love your blocks and what a little cutie patootie!! :o)
Bummer for the cold, but yay for the sewing. The log cabins look wonderful. And Allison is getting to be so grown up and beautiful! Love her knit ensemble, too.
That little Allison looks like pure joy. And so do those pkm blocks! LOVE.
oh my, your log cabin blocks are beautiful! I just finished piecing 2 pink and purple log cabin quilt tops (for 2 new baby girls that will be arriving early in 2012). I love the colors in your blocks. I don't know why I haven't made log cabin blocks before, but now it seems like that's all I want to make! You can see the pink and purple ones on my blog, smalltownquilter.blogspot.com
Allison looks so cute in her sweater & cap. Shelbie did a great job! I didn't get much sewing done last week either, spent a few days down in Branson, MO...wonderful time! Your log cabin blocks look wonderful. I'm loving that PKM fabric. Thanks for sharing.
that's a very sophisticated outfit for Allison. i love it. yep. me too. got a cold or something. hasn't stopped me from going to my nephew's football games. so i will probably have it a bit longer. darn. it's so hard to sew when i get sick.
Look how big Allison is getting. I think she looks just like YOU! Does anyone tell you that in the family?
I hope you are feeling better soon.
Happiness is a cute sticky kid! She is very lovely in her sweater, hand made too!
great fabric choices from you as usual.
Allison seems to be blissfully happy... there is never anything like too much candy ;-) Your row by row blocks are getting more and more cuter. Love the fussy cut Strawberries in the center. Delicious pie!
You know I love everything in your post but that pie really looks good!
Lovely blocks !
