Little Brown Church in the Vale - not quite

Here's the church that is going into the tree quilt. I especially like the way the stained glass windows turned out.


This is one of the filler blocks. There are three of these. There are also some four-patches and "fence" blocks yet to come.

Here's a rooster from a quilt at Sauder. I've been saving black and white and yellow fabrics for my someday "Chicken Quilt".  This big fellow is giving me inspiration. I caught the end of the movie 'The Bucket List' on TV last night. Now what kind of a list would you make for those "someday" quilts?

Puppy Power

Most of this week has been adjusting and getting to know our new puppy, Chloe. She's a wonderful dog. She's so mild mannered that sometimes we sit and watch her and wonder when she's going to DO SOMETHING!  Other times, you can't find her and when you check, she's hiding somewhere, totally puppy-like, with a shoe or other no-no. 

Jacob really loves her and she is so good at letting him rough-house with her. Yesterday, we took her to the dog  park in East Lansing and Chloe played well with the other dogs. She had a ball being able to run free.

Last week was the quilt show at Sauder Village. This is MacArthur's Attic, which was too large for the wall quilt category and too small for the bed quilt category. Luckily, they showed it anyway.  I have more quilt pictures to upload. This morning, however, I found out that my new card reader doesn't fit in my OLD!! computer.  The trip to the Apple Store is going to have to happen sooner than later.
