Cotton Strikes again

I knocked over some cones of longarm thread the other day.  Thought I got them all up.  Guess I didnt.  Cotton, 1 yr old Mini Scnhauzer, found one.  She brought it to me like this, yesterday.  Looks like Cousin It from The Adams Family, with a punk dye job. lol 


Happy Quilting,

I am Back

Sorry I havent posted in awhile.  Life is crazy.  I tried to post with internet explorer and it wouldnt let me add pictures. So had to go to Google Chrome.  I keep forgetting to do that.  

Anyway here is a picture of a quilt I finished in Feb.  Just getting around to taking some pictures.  This first one was started last summer as a mystery from Gyleen Fitzgerald.  You can find the pattern in her new book, "Polygon Affair".  These were fun projects. This looks like the center is appliqued, but it is all pieced.  

Next is Garden Path.  I signed up to teach at Quilters of SC retreat this fall.  This will be my class if enough folks sign up.  So, remember to register.  you must be a member of QSC. 

Next is an Army quilt for a doctor at Ft Jackson that is retiring.  Her friends got together and had me make this out of her uniforms and patches.  I just love the way this came together. What great friends she has.

And last, but not least is and updated picture of  Cotton.  she is 8 1/2 months old now.  Trouble is her middle name.  She loves to tear paper, any kind of paper.  She tore up a paperback book today.  At least we had read it and it was not a library book.  I love her ears.  We didnt crop them so they are big.  she shows her expressions so much thru her ears. You just have to love her.

Cotton in the Snow

Here are pictures of Cotton in the Snow.  She would scratch at the snow, then eat it.  Wayne made a snowball and rolled it for her, she chased it and tried to pick it up and it fell apart.  So funny.

Puppys Sharing??

OK, sorry it has been awhile since I posted.  Life has been busy.

  Here is a picture of Ranger and Cotton sharing the pillow.  They are chewing on rawhide chewys.  They play most of the time very well.  It has been fun watching Cotton grow.  Check out those ears.  what big ears. LOL 

 Here is Cotton sleeping with Wayne, watching TV.  She likes to hang her head down.  Reminds me of Snoopy on top of his dog house.

Cotton

Just a picture to bring you up to date on the new puppy.  She is 3 months old now.  This is her favorite way to sleep.   She is a very happy puppy.

Cotton

Cotton got into my knitting.  I left the basket on the floor Monday nite, so it is my fault.  I am sure she had fun.  It took me several hours to untangle the mess.  I had to cut the yarn in several places.  I had to rip out about 5 rows of knitting, but I salvaged the sock and finished the pair.  The second pic is of the first sock complete.

I wore these Friday and they were so nice and soft.  Cant remember the yarn, but I like it.  I am loosing my yarn shop.  I just hear that the owner of the Hook and Needle in Columbia, SC, is in assisted living and friends will be having a sale and closing the shop for her.  She will be greatly missed.

Happy quilting and Knitting

Cotton

We have a new member of our family.  Her name is Cotton.  She is a mini Schnauzer.  She is all black except for the tips of her rear toes.  She may lighten up, because her father did. I love this nose picture, she is checking out the camera. LOL. We have had Cotton about 10 days.  It took about 5 of those for Ranger to get used to her.  Now they play and wrestle together.  She likes to pounce on Ranger. The name came from driving to get her and home thru lots of cotton fields. 

Happy Quilting, Vicki
