Whew, just made it in time for the first month of RSC on the last Sunday. I am almost finished with my cake quilt and then I am going to have to do some applique before I can put it all together and get ready for the border.
I have also decided to work on some existing projects. I think I started these projects about 10 years ago based on the date on my printed instructions. The RSC might be perfect to move these along. Up first is Happy Scrappy Houses by Bonnie Hunter.
Spools that I started about the same time as Happy Scrappy Houses and it looks like they were a Debbie Mum pattern.
Finally, butterflies! Not an unfinished project but one that I am starting, lol! I am attending a retreat next month and needed something somewhat mindless to work on and I think this might be it. Butterfly Town is the pattern for this big butterfly.
I also tried a Pattern Basket Butterfly and I had a few issues with it but may try again. As you can see I should have oriented the bottom wing differently. Naturally I didn't see it until I took my photo so it looks like I need to get out the seem ripper.
Finally, I hope to be back blogging every now and then as my health issues worked out for the better. I had a surgical procedure the same week this little guy came into my life and has pretty much consumed a huge amount of time and I wondered if I would every be able to sew again. Meet Barley, a Golden/Great Pyr mix.
I haven't had a puppy in about 12 years and now I think what was I thinking!!! We have taken training classes at Petsmart which were fabulous but you have to practice and I am not the best at doing it consistently. My beloved cats think I am nuts and wonder what I did as well. I am hopeful he will settle down eventually and be a big, lazy, mellow dog. One can only hope.
Cheers,
Debi
