It’s been a lazy week; the current puzzle has sucked up a couple of days! It’s about a quarter done, has 2000 pieces, a Bavarian castle, but Friday I was strong and got the fire top layered and pin basted and even started the quilting.

Saturday morning I decided that I really did want to make something for the next SAQA Trunk Show– it only needs to be at least 9″ square, after all! I looked through already drawn designs and found, already on freezer paper, this little dog. I have made him twice before and I’m thinking that the pattern was in the reverse of what I wanted last time. But for this one – perfect!

I got it pieced yesterday and will quilt it today so it should make it to CA by the deadline which I think is Friday! This trunk show called “This Is A Quilt” will show all of the different styles of art quilts that people are making and will travel for a year, I believe.
