Meet Sophie

Sophie is hard to get a picture of - she never sits still. Jody took this picture while she was eating today - not really happy about being interrupted. Sophie is now 14 weeks old and growing so fast. Had her to the Vet on Friday for her third round of shots and she weighs in at 13.8lbs. When we first got her we were a little worried about her eating - no a problem now. Not afraid of anything not even the pool, when we are in the pool she will get down on the first step - hopefully she wouldn't get in without us. She has twice now cut JD off when they are running around it and JD has ended up in the water - Jody has at least been close by when he went in to grab him out.

I completed the quilting on this quilt yesterday and its ready for the binding to go on. The pattern is Christian Cross and the panto I used to quilt it is Bountiful Feathers. So one UFO almost complete - yippee! Next quilt is a customers quilt to be done - its loaded on the frame just waiting on the final decision on which panto to use.


Unfortunately back to work tomorrow - had a nice little 3 day weekend, wish it were 4!

It's Been A Long Time

Allot has gone on for me in the past couple of months.

1st - Quilted Comfort has moved all the way to the other bedroom. Should have done that
when we first moved here 3 years ago. This room is 11 x 15 with double closets - prefect for storage - plus in the other room I was crawling thru the closet to get around my quilting frame, if I were a young thing it would be ok but I'm not.

2nd - Quilted Comfort has gone computerized. I have added the ProStitcher to my HQ16 machine - it sure has freed up some of my time. As I take on more quilting jobs I also am able to work on other things while it is doing the quilting - like blogging! Its kind of like multitasking made easy.

Here are my newest quilting buddies, Sophie and JD - not sure if quilting is that tiring or that boring of a process. Usually they bring me toys, chews, food bowls and anything else they can drag in here. They're not too happy when they get banned from the room when I'm working on a quilt that is not mine.

The past couple of days I have been playing with new blog layouts and a new header for my blog - probably more changes are ahead - seems like I'm into changing things lately.

With the move I have discovered some unfinished projects like this one - Christian Cross. I made this several years ago - not sure why I never finished it but I have a feeling I ran out of fabric for the binding.
I has lucky to find a fabric at Hobby Lobby that matched the green so this will become a finished UFO. I also found another top where I had the center put together and the blocks for the border and I do remember I needed more fabric for the inner border but never remembered to pick it up. That one is a double pinwheel quilt - pictures on another day - but playing around in EQ6 with the quilt I decided on a totally different color and in the program it made the quilt come alive but we'll see what real life does for it.

Wow this post has gotten lengthy - more later.
