We are having a great time at the river this week and that fun starts with this pretty girl. Ouiser (nicknamed Weesie) is a 5 month old lab and she's mostly delightful and sometimes a typical puppy demon seed. She's really sweet and actually pretty well behaved but she gets a little wild (in a fun way) in the evenings. I'm having a great time with her. But I'm sewing a lot and am making great progress on the postcards. I decided to outline the holly leaves with Razzle Dazzle thread. It's tedious and takes about 10 minutes for each card. That's about 5 hours to stitch the leaves on all 30 cards. I didn't bring any red metallic thread so I'll stitch the berries when I get home. I finished all of the holly leaves last night after dinner. Today I'll start the birds. They should be easier with simple straight stitching. Kim got the binding sewn on her quilt and we got it in the mail yesterday too. Her friend should have it by Saturday to use when she gets her chemo treatments. I think she will love it. Anne is going to make the Tamarack Jacket that is apparently very popular on Instagram. She is getting her fabrics quilted and ready to cut the pieces. I'm anxious to see how the jacket turns out because it's one that I might be interested in making. If we were at my house with the longarm the fabric would be quilted already!
Today it's more sewing and more playing with Weesie. One day we will visit the local quilt shop and a nice art gallery.

We went to MD for Thanksgiving and my half brother has a young yellow English Lab puppy. He was so much fun! And so cute.

Looks like you are having a fun and productive time! Which closure is Anne going to use for her jacket? Do you think a zipper would work?

aaaaah - a puppy. I wouldn't be able to get any stitching done if there was a puppy nearby.

I am glad you are enjoying your time away. The Razzle Dazzle thread on the holly leaves looks great.

What a cute pup! I hope there are plenty of toys for the dog to chew on as labs are chewers! The postcards are so pretty outlined in that sparkly thread. Comments are closed.
