Nice Quiet Sunday

Nice quiet Sunday here - Kasey decided that JD made an excellent pillow. That's one thing she absolutely loves is to sleep with her 'brothers and sister' - but awake she is a terror on 4 paws.
We ventured out today and drove down to Tanger Outlet to make a return and do a little shopping, not much though. I picked up probably a half year supply of body wash at Bath and Body Works - love their after Christmas sale and Jody found a pair of shoes at the Rack Room. Not much for us but the puppies made a haul at PetSmart.

One of my favorite quilting websites is Quiltville.com and Bonnie Hunter has started a new Mystery Quilt the day after Thanksgiving. I pulled all my fabrics together but I needed to finish a few quilts before I started it. This past week I finally got to start and I am almost finished with Step #2. I am doing it in Christmas fabric/colors so I will have plenty of time to complete it before next Christmas (hopefully). I'm not too far behind - I think she just posted Step #6.
Well, laundry is done and tomorrow back to work.

Meet Kasey Cay

.....and Herbert her giraffe. Kasey is our newest addition and now there are 4 (again). We adopted Kasey on Thanksgiving day and has been running the house ever since. She is real small and 15 weeks old now, our Vet said that she probably won't weigh much more that 15 lbs grown. She's been my quilting partner of late, easier to keep an eye on her and now since she has been in with me so often I can't go quilt without her coming to the gate of the room wanting in.


I have the last of my customer quilts ready to send out tomorrow - that is the last of the ones to do before Christmas. Thought I would sneak one of mine in before I load the next one. This is a bargello that I had done from a on line class I took. Was always interested in the way these quilts were designed and thought I would give it a try. I made this quite awhile ago and thought I would finish for a wall hanging, but I also wanted to try out a new panto I had purchased. I like the way it looks on this quilt and it stitched out rather quickly.

Well tomorrow is another work day and unfortunately it comes early - all for now hopefully more soon.
