Sad Dog

Reilly went to the groomer the day before yesterday. He came back too toxic for me to be around. I already had arranged for him to spend a few days with DD this weekend so DH and I could spend our 25th wedding anniversary sans chien. (DH isn't a big fan of dogs. Or cats. He's allergic to animal danders. And pollen and dust and mold... We're like Jack Spratt and his wife: He can't handle naturally occuring allergens, I can. Chemicals don't bother him but nearly kill me. Of course.) All I had to do was find someone who could take him until DD could pick him up. Fortunately that only took a few phone calls.
Unfortunately, poor Reilly didn't have a clue what was going on.

I don't think I've shown you this pillow I made recently, using up some scraps of fishing related prints:


Of course I had to put this on the back!

I also finished up the Broken Dishes doll quilt I'd been working on (after deciding to keep the Spare Change flannel doll quilt for myself!). Made a quickie pillow to go with it too.

There are a couple more food blocks to show you, and I've started work on that Friendship top that's been hanging in my way for years, but right now I need to get off the computer and pack a lunch so DH and I can go out to the coast! :- )

    So HAPPY to work alongside you making dresses. Most especially, I'm BEYOND the moon to creatively find a way (again) to help through ART. You inspire!

  5. Happy 25th Sue! I love that strippy premie quilt with the hearts - adorable. And I love all your novelty fabrics in the churn dash blocks. I really think you picked the perfect block pattern to showcase them. Hope the sun comes out to play for you soon.

  6. That fish pillow turned out great - both sides! Poor doggy. I bet he's happier now. My husband and I are opposite on just about everything and going on 37 years. Hope you enjoyed your anniversary and that you go way past 37!

  7. The fish pillow makes me laugh: sort of a "before and after" fishing pillow.

    Enjoy your weekend away and Happy Anniversary.
