It is here!

Lime colored applique quilt.  Pattern is various reels.
My reely lime reel quilt top is done....this is a subset of the blocks from Heart and Hand applique (with a few from the Dear Jane Applique Society for good measure). Diane Schneck is going to be publishing these patterns in a book some time next year. This is going to her as a possible sample for the book. My friend Kari Schell is going to quilt it for me. Isn't this fun? Certainly not colors I normally use. I am thinking of calling it "No, reely! Lime IS a neutral!" It is a little hard to see what color the setting / border fabric is...it is a dark blue with grayish patterns...JoAnn helped me pick it out. She is VERY good at this!

Oh man! Busy, busy, busy!

Sawyer, a cute black and brown doggie.
Poor excuse for not keeping up! So very sorry.

We have a new doggie...Sawyer. Isn't he cute? He is a miniature pinscher / sheltie mix that was a rescue...very smart doggie but he hates men. My brother is patiently trying to work through the fear that Sawyer has. He sees our new fence as a challenge, whereas Jett, my baby, sees it as a barrier...
Everyone in my house is doing fine. We had our first snow last night and it was a doozy...about a foot of very wet snow. Sawyer wasn't fazed a bit. He is from Kansas according to what we were told by the rescue organization. Katherine and I are going to make him some boots. He is her dog.
Well...have to get to work, I am finishing the last borders on something. I promise to share it later today. You will be shocked and amazed!
