Girl4 and Patchwork Therapy

I am glad yesterday is over.  What a sad day for me. I hope girl3 wasn't missing me nearly as much as I was missing her last night.   I know she had some habits that needed to be sorted though and it is for the best so she can do a good job when she graduates soon.  Still missing her though.

Girl4 moved in today.  Her trainer said she is full of energy but she will calm down once she settles in.  After he left, all I could think was that I felt like I had a bumblebee buzzing around.   She was checking everything out at warp speed and of course there were fresh doggy scents everywhere.
She finally stopped moving after I fed her tonight :) 

                                  She is the smallest girl  so far.  She also loves that bone.

             When I said "aww, you love your bone" , she picked it up right away.  LOL.

I really needed some patchwork therapy, so I finished sewing what whirligig pieces were made so far.
Lesson learned....always make a test block when you see a tutorial online.  I now have 18 blocks to trim down and a waste of fabric that could have been avoided if I had made a test block first.

They are off by 1/2 inch.        :(            I am happy with the colours though.

I also worked on the two Blankets of  Love that I will be sending to Cheryll.

The top print is sailboats for a boy and the bottom print is princesses and cupcakes for a girl. The colour isn't so great since these are night pictures with flash.

Thank you for the really sweet messages yesterday.  Virtual hugs are good. xx debbie
