Another One Done

I finished quilting this one this afternoon. The pattern is called My Blue Heaven - great scrappy blue and beige quilt. I used a polyester batting and the edge to edge pattern is called Billowy - next thing to do is bind it (next week). I have the backing for #3 ready to load and will probably start quilting later tonite or tomorrow morning.
JD has been my quilting buddy today - which he usually is when he is allowed in, if not he is laying outside of the gate. He has become quite vocal, a noisy little guy, not a barker but makes some of the oddest noises I have ever heard a dog make. He has definitely grown up to be a good boy.
Ok - break over.

A Long Time Since My Last Post



Once again I have taken a long break from any type of posting - not sure if this posting will start anything.

Since my original plans changed for this weekend, husband sick and storms are coming in I have decided to finish up some unfinished quilts and catch up on other things. I started with this lap quilt I just finished sewing together this week and did the quilting today - plans for this one are to be sent to the shop in Wisconsin that sells my quilts along with another that I am binding now. I just finished loading quilt #2 on the frame and will quilt that one tomorrow and then on to #3 to be quilted. And then in between these I need to pull fabrics to make my mom a lap quilt, I have the pattern but I still need to figure out the fabrics. I love that I added the computer to my machine, it frees up so much time that I can get others things together while its doing all the work.


Obviously Sophie has found the comfort of sleeping with her head on a pillow. I was busy working on a customer quilt yesterday and thought things were a little quiet in the house. Looked down the hall and there she was sound asleep, not sure where she found the pillow but certainly looks comfortable. I did get quite the look from her when I took her picture - the flash disturbed her. The other day she grabbed a pair of shorts from the laundry basket and was caught trying to put them in her toy basket - now I thought she only knew how to take things out of the toy basket not put things in it - I wonder if I could get her to pick up after herself and her brothers - humm.
Maybe tomorrow I will post again - humm!
