Nice Weekend

Hi everyone,

Hope you had a nice weekend too.  I've been enjoying looking after Girl 8.  The weather was nice too so I decided to do some washing.



I made this quilt back in the 80's (sadly, it has no label) when my fabric stash had lots of dusty pink and shades of country blue.  I was living in Southern California at the time.  The backing was bought at a place in the garment district of LA that sold fabric by the pound....It has been on my dining table for years but I couldn't see it very well as my table is always covered in sewing stuff!  After a wash, it is now on my bed and I am enjoying seeing it once again.



Here is girl 8 on Friday night.  She has a full tummy and has put herself to bed.  Just like the other dogs,  she keeps the much loved teddy and bunny close by.


She is the  first of the dogs that doesn't like Vegemite in the Kong.  She only likes peanut butter.



Tonight is our last night together.  She will be picked up tomorrow morning.  I've enjoyed having her with me.  You can see more pictures of her on my previous post.





The celery is growing so fast.  I will be eating some this week for sure. This is day 8.


And this is day 14.   I think it's a pretty good deal for something that was headed for the compost bin.

  2. The quilt is much too lovely to be hidden under your sewing stuff, so on your bed sounds better. The celery is amazing.
