Catching up...

I was really happy this weekend when I finally got caught up on Barbara Brackman's Grandmother's Choice BOW.  Between the move and Snowbound quilt a long I got a little  a lot behind.  With over half done, I have started to ponder sashing ideas.  I loved the one I did with her Civil War BOW, but know I will not do that sashing with this quilt.  I am getting closer to narrowing one down.  To view my progress, go to my Grandmother's Choice page here.

Finishes

I seem to be into pin cushions at the moment.  From left to right: Buggy Barn 2012  kit, Buggy Barn Digby Dog kit, and Pig in a Blanket Wools made by my good friend, Brenda, with her hand dyed wools.  Now to use as pin cushions...hmmm...have a hard time sticking pins in a dog or bird...the pig? Well I guess I could think of it as pig on a stick...sorry Brenda.

Starting to rest

Well Bob and I have been unpacking, finding new places to go...like grocery store, gas station, restaurants...usual stuff and now I think I have it down.  I still need to get my library card, but that is hopefully going to happen tomorrow.
The dogs are getting comfortable with the surroundings and the wildlife as you can see with Toby below.
It is rather funny because they will NOT go into the water.  Buddy "fell" in today trying to drink out of this big water dish and was able to get out quicker than I could get there.  He definitely did not like it.  All the other dogs came by to see if he was okay...it's not like he can't swim or anything!
I have been working on the Snowbound Quilt along with Pat and it is so close to being done!  I only have to find my embroidery threads to finish up...now off to find that box!
