Here are two more quilts of the same pattern, but different colour choices.
The pink quilt got a fun back too - made with a floral panel.
Whenever I go to a quilt show I hang around the aisles where they've hung all the quilts that were made at a workshop, so you can see the "same but different" quilts. I've learned a lot about colour by paying close attention to how other people make use of their fabrics.
MOVIE:
I watched West Side Story and did not enjoy it. It was depressing.
BOOK:
I finished reading The Diamond Eye. It was good. Except for the people who died, everyone lived happily ever after. ha ha ha
DOG:
OMG, Coco loves doggy daycare. When I took her last week she was whining in the back seat all the way there. I thought maybe she needed to poop and I almost stopped at the side of the road. I didn't (see: proof right there that I'm a bad dog mom). When I got her out of the car at the trainers' she was CRAZY to go see the handler, wagging her non-existent tail, rolling over for belly rubs, and jumping up in excitement. After my little burst of joy at her happiness, I felt a bit like chopped liver. Sigh. Taking here here (The Canine Bond) was definitely the right thing to do to help her get out of her anxiety after the traumatic move from Mexico.
Coco's the little one on the right, with one of her new friends.
SOCIAL OUTING:
Yes. I went OUT. The Beach Girls met in St. Jacobs for a celebratory birthday lunch. Afterwards we hit the outlet mall, and then drove three minutes over to the Market. I've never been to the market that I can remember. We got a bonus deal on blueberries so the next time you see me I might have a slight purple tinge.
And speaking of food, I made a batch of DELICIOUS Maple Buttertart Bars. If you're like me you might scratch your head a bit over the cranberries, but trust me - these are delicious.
What I should be eating:
Helen, as always I love your blog! Your caring and sense of humour is always uplifting! Dauna
