touchup in blue

We have a large L-shaped couch that we love. It's a little big for our space, but we got a great deal on it from a friend and couldn't resist. And because it's so big we have it divided - hubby and I get one side, and the dog has the other.

Bedding for Nubs

We have a Catahoula named Nola and she's particular about where that cute little nub of her's gets to lay down. Specifically, she prefers soft, well cushioned places.  The first day we brought her home, she was curled up on the couch in five minutes. So I made a quick cover that can hold two pillows so she had her own bed.

just right

I don't know what it is, but making quilts for my cousin and her family seems to be a very difficult thing to do.

pinwheels

What do you do when your nephew turns one? Give him the quilt you started for the baby shower.

In fairness, I would have had this done on time, but I somehow picked out colors and prints that didn't go together. I had the grey-green, beige and dark and light blue solids put together, and then realized that the browns and oranges I was going to use for the larger pinwheels didn't match at. all. It was pretty disconcerting. Like I had suddenly forgotten how to tie my shoes or something.

So I picked out something else for the shower and did a second search for fabrics.
