Open Studio Sunday

Puppy & Kitty Clutch'ems top off this sweet 

basket of handmade gifts for a tiny new friend

my husband and I are meeting this evening. 

I can hardly wait!   

Quilt number three is off and running, 

or should I say swimming?

While it pains me so, I'll have to refrain 

from sharing too much about this 

quilted wall hanging until it's finished. 

What I can say is that it's designed with

boys in mind. It has hand embroidery

and options for personalizing, 

oh, and one more thing,  

you can almost smell the salt water.

I'm as excited about this wall hanging as I am about 

the nearly finished Ladies Who Lunch quilt (below.)

Never fear, Stanley's here. 

Of course he is. 

He's tried to snuggle on this quilt, sit on it, lay on it, walk on it - 

 any thing to be a good helper. 

 Poor guy, this is the closest I'll let him get. 

Soon, you'll be able to get close, too.

P. S.

I apologize for not giving notice for my absence this past week. 

We now have a mac in the house (YAY!), and with that came 

data transfer and a very short learning curve.

Suffice it to say, I'm back on track!
