Faithful Freckles

       Today is a sad day.  We had to put our Friend, Companion, Family Member to sleep.  She was hurting so bad and she was so weak from the heat and age.  We Love You Freckles.
       You love the cool weather and would always try to race around.  You always came to see me when I drove up to check the mail.  We miss you so much.  Your Kitties miss you.  You would love the fact that they have brought their babies to the Overhang to raise them there.   Tom found the perfect resting spot for you.  Back in the trees in a small meadow.  Lots of shade and cool breezes coming through.

     

Design Wall Monday February 14, 2011

       My wall looks that same.  I really need to get that done and off the wall.  BUT.... I blame Judy here.  lol  She keeps coming up with fun projects and they take my attention away from the design wall!! (that is MY story)  If you go here:   http://trishquilts.blogspot.com/2011/02/easy-quilt-idea-brrrrrr-its-cold.html You can see what is still on there. 
       However, on my other design wall.  a.k.a. My Dining Room Table, my Violet Quilt is moving right along.   Here are more strips ready to sew together.

I know you would like to see what everyone else is doing, so please go here:  http://www.patchworktimes.com/2011/02/14/design-wall-monday-valentines-day/  and check out all the other wonderful blogs.  :)
       Freckles is doing her Doggy Duty by sleeping right in the doorway of the sewing room.  So I get my exercise stepping over her constantly!!  Good Girl!! I was going to take a picture, but the room is soooo messy, I'm rather embarrassed about it.

Freckles is so funny.  Here she is eating.  Talk about lazy!!  If you click on the picture, it should enlarge it.  I accidentally got an "action" shot.  She eats, turns her head and spills the food on the floor.  What a girl!!  I need to send this pic to the kids, they will love it!

I need to work on the Violet quilt today.  First, need to get off the computer!!

All the Violet out  :)

 Yippee!!  Working on the Monochromatic Quilt.  I have sewn lots of strips together.  The 'hardest' part so far is matching up the strips.  Some of the medium match up well with any dark; but, some really have to be specifically matched which meant I tried to NOT match the same ones together consistently!  Then I said "forget it"  Either they will be different or the same.  Get it done!!
