Last Week Stuff

On the sewing front.... not much happened last week. I cut plaid strings for a HeartStrings quilt. Blocks will have a black center and setting is diamond shaped.
Decided to use paper foundation so the quilt top won't be so heavy for me to work with. I only have two blocks sewn and hope to get a bunch more sewn over this weekend.

Last weekend DH built me a big board to go over the small ironing board. Just need to staple on the batting and canvas cover. This will be great to use for ironing quilt backs and long block rows. Nice that it can be removed and stored when not in use.

Mr. Pibbs has gotten to be a naughty boy. He chases all others from the kitchen every morning, even the big poo-dogs.Have to keep Pibbs in the kennel while breakfast is being prepped. After he gets his canned food all is well.

Matilda is so very happy to be rid of the dreaded cone. She is back to her "normal" self now.

Big surprise coming for all of us Saturday. Arizona Poodle Rescue is sending us an older (14 yrs) standard boy. He will live out his days here. Cannot wait to meet "Java"!
