Dog Gone Cute is true to it's name!

 I made 2 more dog blocks with the light teal background this week. I am not super happy with the one below, as the ears don't show up as well as I wish. In person the color is better, so I probably won't change it. Now to figure out a setting for them.

 I loaded the Dog Gone Cute with the gray background and got it quilted too. I really like it and need to trim and bind. Not sure what I will bind it with yet. Probably one of the darker grays.

A new friend?

I know that everyone that doesn't have an assistant is probably a little jealous of those of us who do. I made a couple more dog blocks this week and Conrad took a shine to this one. 

I have 4 more cut out, pinned and ready to go, but haven't been in much of sewing mood lately. Hopefully, I'll get going on the others later today. 

I've been working on cleaning up the backyard...some junk out there that needed to be gone through and pitched. Plus got rid of an unsightly trailer full of junk yesterday, so cleaned up the area where that was sitting too. The garden looks good. My hollyhocks are starting to bloom. 

There are some lighter pink blooms starting too. We had them on the farm growing up and we had so much fun making dolls out of the flowers.

Doggone crazy?

I didn't get a lot of sewing done this past week. Spent some time cleaning, putting up new window blinds and working outside. I did get the gray dogs sewn together and the backing made for it. I want to get it loaded on the machine later. I also made another dog, using a different background and spotted "white" on his face. I really like the way this looks. I plan to make a few more like this.
