Meet Ella. Ella is a really good girl, but misses her people already.
We're dog sitting for a couple of days while our younger daughter's family goes to a funeral out in Pierre. Luckily we are right on the way so they could drop her (and her stuff) on the way through. They will pick her up tonight when they are heading home. She's a "Velcro" dog - sticks close all the time. So I'm guessing that she'll follow me downstairs today when I go to sew for awhile.
Not much time was spent in my sewing room this week. But I did visit 6 quilt shops on a shop hop, and I've been working on some binding in the evenings. And of course I'm dreaming up new projects to keep me out of trouble. LOL
One of my favorite RSC projects this year has been Night Vision. I got it back from the quilter this week, and now I'm ready to bind it.
One of the things I bought while shop hopping was binding strips, already cut. They were in a scrap bag bin, and I picked up 2 bags - yellow and this red. I used 7 of the 9 red ones for this quilt. It has a fun purple backing, so with this binding it makes me think of the Red Hat Society ladies in their purple and red.
Last week I had made some aqua 4-Patch Fun blocks, and cut pieces for some other previous colors. This block is Bonnie Hunter's leader/ender pattern for this summer and I've already made a lot of them in red, white, and blue. And now the rainbow has come out to play. These do make great leader/enders as you work on bigger projects rather than cutting thread between blocks all the time. From the colors I had cut, only the purple ones remain to be sewn so far. Then I'll dig back into the scrap bins to cut some more in other colors.
The flimsy for Town Square is done. I took it out onto the deck for a photo and the dappled sun/shade has an interesting effect on color of course. But there is a LOT of aqua in this, or maybe it's more of a turquoise. The cute whale print has several shades of aqua.
