Been very busy around here lately with summer activities for the kids and then all the going back to school meetings etc. Haven't gotten alot of quilting done, but I have done some. I am working on a quilt for my DDFIL. DH picked the pattern and told me the colors he wanted for him. I am doing Solomon's Star from quilter's cache (in fact DH wants it just like her mock up so that's what it will be). I have been asked to test another pattern, so I will have that project to do here for the time being, and DFIL's will have to sit on the back burner. I've also been messing around with my new knitting machine this summer. I've make a few scarves, hats and afghans on it and have been having fun learning new techniques. We also got a new QI about a week ago. A 3 year old lab mix. Her name is Bailey and she is such a sweet thing. Very smart and very loving. She is a 60lb. dog who thinks she is a 15lb lap dog at times - she just loves to cuddle. She is getting along well (she was my in-laws dog, but they had a few others and it was getting too much so knowing us/her has helped the transition). My kids are starting the school year again. Hopefully I will have some time to myself. My little one is in preschool so it won't be a lot of time, but just a little will be nice. That's about it for now. I have done some updating of my webshots (sorry photobucket isn't updated yet) to include pictures of Bailey and one of my DFIL's quilt block if you care to look. There are some other projects I need to finish and get picture of too. Maybe I can get some of that done with my alone time. Glad to be back reading the group more!!
