New Baby

This is our new baby, Simba. He has actually been a family member for several years. He wasn't very happy being alone all day. (Little dog + little bladder + looooong day = oooops.)
He needed to live where someone was home a lot more. DS and DDIL asked if I knew any one that would be interested in adopting him. Sure, I'll take him. They didn't think I would want another fur baby, since we have Maggie and Chrissie. They were happy, that they will get to have weekend visits, frequently. They said it would be almost like still having him, but he wouldn't be alone all day long.
Chrissie isn't real sure what he is. He doesn't look like Maggie, he is little like her. Simba walked in and took one look at Chrissie, stopped and just stared. He has never seen a cat up close. We had less than 24 hours of, minimal, hissing and whining. They are, now, just glancing at each other, going to their spots, curling up and going to sleep.
Maggie was surprise when I walked in with Simba. Simba and Benny had came for visits in the backyard, but had never came in the house. (Benny likes to eliminate any body not a dog.) Maggie was the love of Simba's life when DS and DDIL first got him, he likes tall girls. Thank Heavens! he has calmed down around her.
Simba has stayed glue to my ankle. I sit down at computer, he is under my chair. I sit down to sew he is beside my chair. "Watch out, so I don't roll over your tail, Buddy". Life is great with lots of Fur Babies!

Facebook & Photos

I made contact with a cousin I haven't seen in about 30+ years, over on Facebook. He noticed I quilt and asked me to post some photes of my quilts. Two of his SILs are quilters. So I walked through the house and shot wall hangings I have up. Here are 3 I posted on FB, more later.

New Toys

These are my 2 new favorite "toys".

If your hands, elbows or shoulders have any issues or past surgeries, you need these!

The Quilt Halo. The Quilt Halo lays on top of the piece you are quilting.



And the Supreme Slider. The Supreme Slider lays on the bed of your machine and has an opening for your needle.



The lady running the booth at the AQS Show in Knoxville, where I found them, was letting you sit down at her machine and try them out. WOW! I couldn't believe how well they worked. The quilt sample slid around like a scrap of fabric instead of like the placenta of an elephant. WOW! Loved them, wanted them, please, take my money!

Facts for Friday

Faces at AQS Knoxville

I don't know who did these two pieces, but they blew me away. The photos do not so them justice.



The angel was quilted with iridescent thread. She gave you a feeling of peacefulness, just looking at her.




The cowboy was so real looking, you could feel him looking back at you.

I will try and find out who they are by and post it.
