Check back with me in a couple of hours and see if hand tying buttons on the Purina quilt was a good idea. So far going smoothly.

Purina Almost Done
This is almost done.
I need to sew the two large patches on both sides of the jeans square. I don't think I will be able to machine quilt it, the embroidery on the tan is very puckered. Will probably just tie it. And it may take me a week or so to get the backing ready for it. Piecing together a checkerboard red and white flannel backing.

Work Has Resumed
Work on the Purina quilt has resumed.
The plan in my head has changed a little bit from my initial design.
I am thinking more of a checkerboard stripe between the rows. Partly to add some length to the quilt. Rex is a tall guy.
I am loving the checkerboard fabric. Should get a little more sewn tonight after work. The blue jeans are trying to get the best of me so there is no photo of them yet.
I picked up some minky fabric in the remnant section yesterday. Almost a full yard of minky for $3. Not a bad find. The green was a nice cotton print, half yard for $1.
And then I splurged. I am back to collecting black with white prints. Not to be confused with white with black prints. I just love the look of black prints with a bright color. I have a project in my head but need to collect several more prints before I attempt that.
Now I just need to make a list to work on this weekend so I can be super productive. I think my attention deficit is kicking in again.
