ANOTHER DOG ONE

 

Yesterday I showed you a couple of laid out dog Braid Runners.

Well, I got one finished late yesterday:

ABOVE:  I must say, I am very happy with how it came out.

Today I will make the 2nd one, using white fabrics instead of brown/cream.  I'm hoping it looks as good as this one.

ABOVE:  A big, fat bumble bee in the garden.  I was actually very surprised at how big he was.

Surely there's not been much nectar to feed on over winter?  Oh well, I was happy to see him looking so healthy.

ABOVE: The very first Azalea flower of the season.  In two months that shrub will be totally covered in flowers.  It's amazing to see.

ONWARD...

I didn't get an early start today.  I lay in bed for two hours listening to Stew snore.

I dared not get up in case I woke him up.  He clearly needed to sleep in well.

So, I finally got to leave bed at 8.45 am!

And I went straight into the sewing room and got #24 done:

ABOVE:  I wasn't sure I'd like it as much as the one from last night, with the dogs and brown/cream tones.  But I do like it, very much.

So now....

ABOVE: This starts.   Cutting out all the batting, and backing fabrics.  THEN quilting all 24 braid runner tops.

NOW I NEED CAKE.  stat

ABOVE: Famy came around... so we are all ensconced in the family room watching a movie.

What a neat way to spend a Sunday afternoon. 

6.20 pm, and the family have gone home.  Once they left, I headed back into the sewing room, where I got ALL the batting and backing fabric cut out for all 24 Braid Runners.

What a big job that was.

Now.  I'm watching Stew cook our dinner.

First time he's cooked in at least two weeks.

We will have our dinner, then watch more of the Olympic Games on the telly till bedtime.

Catch ya tomorrow.
