Daisy

I  posted a pic of my beloved Barney the Wonder Dog (yes, that is is registered name) and have a request to give Daisy equal time so here is my special girl.

You can't tell from this pic, but she has been under the weather.

After a second visit to the vet, ($$$$)and three meds($$$$$$$),

she is getting better.

The pink pig in the picture had rubber hands and feet for about five

minutes.  We are just not happy till we dismember

our toys.

And here is Barney (the secret agent dog)

spying on me from behind the bushes.  When you have a dog,

you are under constant surveylance, just in

case you are carrying a concealed buscuit.

Do you remember several years ago when everyone

was making the underground railroad quilt?

I did it as a block of the month at a local quilt shop.  The instructor was a
fabric historian and her lectures were on constucting the block and
how it was used in the underground railroad to send messages to the slaves, based on the book "In Plain Sight".  It was all very fascinating since I live not far from  Henderson Hall which  "literally was on the dividing line between the free North and slave owning South.."
I made all the the blocks, except the last one, and never did anything with them.  I decided a while back that I would put them together and practice

free motion quilting, but since I kept the blocks hidden (not in plain sight) in a closet in an unmarked pizza box, I forgot about them.

So,  I picked out my six favorites, made sashing and corner stones,

and will start quilting soon.  It feels good to have something on my design wall, again. 

I'm also going to start cutting a layer cake of
doggy fabric, to quilt next.

and I will leave you with this little doggy picture of Barney in Daisy's bed.

Could you ask for anything better in your bed?
