I actually had a fairly productive day yesterday. Still blowing my nose a lot, but I feel like I have some energy again. I did some easy sewing. I made 14 more square in a square units for the border of my Apple Sauce quilt. I've got a good-sized pile completed so far. I must recover my ironing table with some fabric that makes a better background for photos!
I also made another Moda Blockheads block 3 block, which is the paper pieced one. I am making a table topper for my son from the first nine blocks in that project.
I have a ridiculous photo to share with you that is sure to start your day off with a smile.
My husband heard that we are getting a lot of rain this winter, so he bought Archie a raincoat. Honestly, that dog is so good-natured he let us put it on him without much fuss. Can you imagine taking him out in that get up? He's going to get a lot of attention that is for sure.
Seriously, Dad?
Archie I love that you are so sensible and stylish in your mackintosh!! Glad you are feeling better!

You were right- a nice smile to start the day. When we lived in Minnesota through 3 of the coldest years ever, our Norwegian Elkhound (think husky-type) had surgery on his back. This required shaving off most of his thick, double-coated back fur. That winter we had to have him wear a thick jacket outside. He didn't complain, but the quizzical looks we got from others who saw him were fun!
Glad to see you are feeling better.

Archie is so patient and cute! You know I like to do what you do, so YES-- I copied and have had a super nasty cold. I'm a couple days behind you. Enjoying having dinner made for me as well. Going to have to own up that I am starting to feel better as well. xoxo

Your new block is lovely! I like high contrast also, it makes for a stunning quilt. Archie is very dapper in his new rain coat. Our pets personalities make our days brighter & I am glad to hear that you are feeling much better.

Your Blockheads star block is perfection! That's going to be a great looking table topper! Archie could double as a crossing guard's assistant wearing that jacket. Have you got the dog booties to go with it? Gotta keep those paws dry, too! š¶

Love your blocks and what a good dog! Such a sweetie to let you dress him up and too funny your husband bought it for him!

Love your blocks and fabrics and I'm glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. Archie cracks me up. We put a similar get-up on our Westie last week and he kept lifting his back legs off of the floor and trying to walk on just his front legs. He was not a fan!
