Morning ladies 
It's cold and blustery outside which means another day of the Furry One going to one door, then the other, to check if the weather is any different at each door so he can go out to pee.
Love that your GD found her quilt and voted for it. I bet that made your day, mica. I don't get quilts being hung permanently. In my mind they are made to be used.
It always seems extra sad when someone young dies. Unfair really.
I would never have thought to use paper towels to paint on. Thinking about it, they are designed to absorb water, so why not. And I have no doubt they would be thick enough to take a needle. I've seen embroideries on the sheerest of fabric and paper towels are thicker. You would need to be careful about tearing and tension, but it sounds workable to me. I've also seen embroideries on artist's canvas'. You would need to be either extremely accurate as you make the holes first or be happy with something completely random.
Since my lightbox died, I've been thinking of alternative ways to transfer designs to fabric. The sticky transfer sheets blunt my needles with gobs of glue on the points and I'm over taping everything to windows as this is not accurate enough. I've decided to go 'old school' with the 'prick and pounce' method. So now to investigate how to make my own pounce. This should be messy and fun
It's going to be cruisey day as we won't be outside much. Might work a bit more on this cross stitch. There are 12 A4 pages to work through so a bit to do
The ironing I started on Friday before becoming distracted with other stuff is still sitting there to finish. It may get done, then again, it may not.
The Furry One is up and is checking both doors lol.
Have a good one.
