Oh man! Busy, busy, busy!

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!

Back to work!

Oh now, quilting isn't work, is it? I am busy making some album blocks for an exchange in our Heritage Club next month. JoAnn and I are exchanging with all three groups so we have about 40 blocks to make. Phew! I have 10 made, another 10 cut out and 20 more prepped and ready to cut out...I had better get to work!

I hope everyone is having a great summer!

Busy, busy, busy!

Here is the Gettysburg Sun quilt I finished in July at the Dear Jane MN retreat. Isn't it cute?

The fabrics are Jo Morton's Toast and Indigo Berries. I think it turned out very cute. It is hanging in the quilt shop for now.

I hope everyone is having a great summer! We are busy as can be....but doing well. I hate this horrible heat wave we are experiencing! I can't wait for Fall.

Oooftah...what a weekend!

This has been an exhausting weekend...storms Friday and Saturday night have scared my poor little puppy something fierce. He shook so hard we could hear his little bones knocking against the floor in the kitchen. We took turns holding him and that seemed to help a bit.

Then, to complicate things, Katherine and her friend Chris had a car accident. An inattentive driver ran a red light and they collided almost head on. Katherine and Chris seem to be OK but Chris' car is undrivable....leaving him in a difficult situation. We are arranging schedules and working to free up Katherine's car for Chris until he has the insurance assessment and knows how to move forward. What a hassle for Chris. I hope this gets resolved soon.

I am making progress on my Gettysburg Stars (?) quilt...putting the top together tonight. I will add a picture soon.

Friday!

I am hoping to get some quilting done this weekend...it has been very busy lately. I have a small quilt that I am making for a shop sample and want to have it done for Monday night. The Dear Jane guild is meeting and it would be fun to have something for show and tell.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Fun Day!

I spent the day at an IT seminar...learned a lot...and saw some old buddies from the company I worked at 1 1/2 years ago. Nice people. Tonight I am going to work on my applique for the Lime Reels quilt I am making...lots to do! I hope everyone has a nice evening!

Lovely Day!

This was a beautiful day! Katherine is home, I had a productive day at work and now I have the whole weekend to look forward to.


I am working on a little quilt...and will share one block with you. I am using Jo Morton fabrics from my stash. It will be all blue with shirtings. I have a nice stripe to use for sashing strips. I will post a picture of the final project.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
