Fezzik Friday - 35 Weeks...

Hi, everybody!
It's me, The Fez-meister.
Can you believe it's time for another Fessik Friday already?

Mom decided to do a little organizing in the studio yesterday, and she asked if I'd like to help. Well, I'm always a willing participant, so I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into her project.
Then, I found out that she didn't want me to chew these cardboard-y thingies. She wanted me to help her fold some of her quilt backing fabrics onto them. I. Don't. Think. So! What fun is that?

I decided to just lie down on the floor here and wait until she was all finished with her organizing. What does she think I am, anyway? A shitzu, or something? I had to keep up my manly image. I thought she wanted something "deconstructed", and instead she wanted me to help her do somethin' "girly".
She managed just fine without my help. I was happy to just lie around and supervise...trying not to lend a stray hair here or there. Mom doesn't like dog hair on her fabrics! Go figure. I thought they added character.

She kept smiling as she folded all the fabrics, while she muttered things like, "Lily and Will" and "Martinique", and "Collection For A Cause". Then, she said something about "Stash! Mine...all mine". Honestly. I thought she was just going to spread all the fabric out on the floor and roll around in it. (Now, THAT'S something I could have helped with!)
She took a shelf out of her narrow cabinet, and put some of the bolts of fabric into it. She said that now she'll be able to see some of the pretty stuff when she looks up from her sewing machine. I can't fully appreciate that part, dogs being color blind, and all.
But it looks like there are still a few things up there that I'd be happy to chew on. Hmmmm. Now, where did I put my little step stool? Oops. You didn't hear that, did you? No. Whew!

Thanks for stopping by again. I hope you have fun things planned for the weekend. I'm thinking about running, chasing the cardinals in our yard (one of my current favorite things to do), bothering Kes whenever I can, and looking cute so that Mom and Dad will rub my ears or my belly. Life is tough for a corgi, you know!

We hope you have a few fun things planned at your house, too. I'll see you again next week. Until then, try not to chew up any cardboard. I'm gonna try really hard not to either. (yeah, right!)

Two Great Ways To Make My Day...

Friday was Day One for my "Williamsburg Welcome" quilt project.
I managed to complete the center star motif and add a top and
bottom "Welcome" motif. I also did a little design wall work to
decide how I want the rest of the fabrics I'm using to relate to
the overall look. I'm really happy with my fabric placements
so I'll be back at the sewing machine later today.

This is going much faster than I expected, so I think it will
only take a few days to complete my share of the construction.
Don't be too impressed...it's not a huge quilt.
When finished, it will measure about 48" x 70".

I got a package in the mail yesterday, too.
Anne Sutton at Bunny Hill Designs had a drawing for her
newest fabric line
"Lily & Will".
I entered Anne's fabulous drawing and WON!
I'm over the moon about this collection, which isn't available
to the public until October. Anne is the designer and shared
three fat quarter and squares collections to her winners.
I chose the pink collection. It is a gorgeous series.
If you sew, I know you'll want to get these fabrics for yourself.

Thank you, Anne. I'm loving every piece and can't wait to
make something wonderful with my new fabrics.

A project progressing better than planned
and
a gift in the mail.
Made my day, I'm telling you!
Just made my day!
