Next Up...

Brynwood Needleworks - Strawberry Sachet Materials
 
This is my next project. I have a custom order for a pink silk ribbon Strawberry Rose sachet. I adore making these, so I'll likely make more than just one, and I'll make them in other colors to stock my shop while I'm at it.

Laurie from Tales From The Henhouse requested that I share photos of each of the Wooly Critters quilt blocks, now that I'm finished. I'll share those tomorrow for anyone who's interested. (Thanks for the request, Laurie!!)

I'm on my way to my salon for a haircut today!! She's going to get to fix my self-inflicted "Corona Cut". Then, I'm meeting Kathy D. for lunch - socially distanced and outdoors. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to seeing her again!

So, time for a quick cuppa coffee and then...Off to the races!! See you tomorrow.

Tuesdays With Tag - Throwback Puppy Pics...

Brynwood Needleworks - Mike and Puppy

 Hi, Everybody!

I'm improvisin' this week. We didn't get our updated puppy pics this week (yet), so I'm showin' you pictures of Sookie's litter (Bella's mama) when they were three weeks old. Bella's puppies were three weeks old yesterday, and would look pretty close to these puppies, who were either Bella or her littermates.

Puppy cuteness overload warnin'. 

Brynwood Needleworks - Labrador Puppy

These pictures are really makin' us miss Boo even more...and we are dyin' to see her with her babies!

Brynwood Needleworks - Bella As A Puppy
 
Mom said she's gonna really bug Uncle Mike and Rene tomorrow to get current pictures. We're also gonna lobby early for next week, so we can show you Bella's puppies, instead of her very own cuteness (this week's pics). 
 
I'll see you again in seven. 'til then...
"Just Do It...but not on the rug."
 

Busy Weekend...

Brynwood Needleworks - Wooly Critters Sampler Quilt Top

So tickled to be nearly ready for quilting on this top. My Wooly Critter Sampler quilt (Designed by Linda Hohag - Brandywine Designs) only needs a few small touches and it will be ready to head to the quilter.

I began this quilt in January 2014, although our Coffee Club at Sandy's Quilt Shop purchased our patterns in 2013. It's difficult to believe that this quilt has been six years in the making! I enjoyed every second of Linda's lovely designs, and would recommend this project to every quilter who loves applique'. This was my first wool applique' quilt, and I'm sure it's not going to be the last.

Brynwood Needleworks - Custom Order - Brynwood Union Jack Bella Tote
 
After spending most of Saturday in the garden (with the red neck to prove it!),  I had a custom Bella order to make. So, Sunday, I played in the studio and made this one. It's going to a new home today.

I'm going to see my Dad again today. Our visits these days are a blessing, and I look forward to them, even though it involves three hours of driving to get to his home and then back to the farmhouse. While I'm visiting with Dad, Tag will be preparing his blog post for tomorrow. Perhaps puppy updates? You'll have to come back to see.
