I\u2019ve recently made quilts for our 3 dogs using scraps left from the \u2018Between Quilt\u2019 I\u2019ve been making.\u00a0 The first finished was Nugget\u2019s quilt but I mistakenly gave it to him before snapping a photo.\u00a0 Now, it\u2019s near impossible to see the quilt without the dog!\u00a0 As the picture indicates, he loves it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The quilts were made with 3 layers of extra-loft batting and tied with yarn left from another project.\u00a0 Each quilt has a backing made with UBER-bright fabric I wouldn\u2019t use anywhere else.\u00a0 The dogs don\u2019t seem to mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lolita and Coalie have been presented with their quilts and love them as much as Nugget loves his.\u00a0 Our living room now resembles a brightly colored, furry folks slumber party!\u00a0 I like it!<\/span><\/p>\n

As is always<\/span> the case, I have leftover scraps from making these leftover scraps quilts.\u00a0 No worry.\u00a0 I’m preparing to make mug rugs with some of them and resigning myself with the fact I will ALWAYS have scraps.<\/span><\/p>\n

I still need to add borders to the Between Quilt.\u00a0 I plan to frame the main body with a narrow black border, then add a piano key pieced border to finish the top.\u00a0 All the pieces are cut and I will soon give them my undivided attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

Serious stormy weather plowed through our area last night.\u00a0 Our Internet service has taken a beating so we will be focused on lots of repairs in the coming days.\u00a0 No fun!<\/span><\/p>\n

Since we’ve chosen not to plant a vegetable garden this season, it’s a little surprising to look out and see a healthy bunch of dill plants.\u00a0 They appear happier than those purposely planted and lovingly watered last year!\u00a0 I’m hoping to find some volunteer basil too as the season progresses.\u00a0 Unfortunately, there are no cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers or peas to accompany them.\u00a0 We have dandelions and morning glory instead.<\/span><\/p>\n
