Another Milestone

 

2011 holds many super exciting milestones for me personally:  I turn 50, two of my best friends turn 50, my dd is getting married, I gave my dog away and who knows what milestones will be a surprise before the year is out?

A few weeks back Daisy Days and I celebrated a cultural milestone together…we watched Oprah’s final episode. 

We enjoyed a goodbye European kiss of respect to both cheeks of Miss Oprah.  We have grown up with her  and respect her heart for people and her passion to make a difference in the world. 

Oprah we will miss you!!!

Mwah!

Miss Sami Goes to Omak Saturday

dsc01168 (2)
This 6 month old precious puppy saved my heart.  She became part of my life in Feb 2006 thanks to a mid-life crisis of sorts.  Miss Lil Black Sami, with her princess/city-dog personality became my daily routine.  We walked together daily…she softened my hurts and soothed my aching soul.  I have written about her so many times here on Boundaround.  I have documented her four litters and snapped photos of her adorableness. 
It feels strange to type out loud, but tomorrow may be my last full day of joy with her.  Saturday she will move to Omak (the dry side of this beautiful state) and hopefully fall in love with a new family. The plan is a trial—everyone needs to be happy or we will abort the plan.
This good ole girl was an amazing mom with all her litters. The first thee were gone by 6 weeks old, however we chose to keep a pup from her 4th litter -- Miss Millie.
I have found managing two dogs to be more work than I had anticipated.  In addition, I can tell she misses the days of being the only child. Therefore, I decided I would try to adopt Sami out to a family that does not have other dogs and see if she could find a new true love. 
This may be a crazy idea and miserable all around, but I am praying that a sweet family is gifted with the doggie of their dreams. This is for sure - I shall keep you updated!

Today was the silver anniversary of our local quilt guild's quilt show. Bff and I found ourselves inside a quilt, can you guess which one?

 Bff and I attended, it has been a few years since we have had the pleasure of going.  This booth had tons of Hawian prints and patterns...ooooh how I want to jump a plane and plant my butt on a beach!
 This quilt was so much fun and inspired me to to think about swapping blocks again.  

 Piece of Cake patterns make my heart swoon.




 This quilt was my absolute FAVORITE...I am so in love with Kaffe Fasset fabrics right now...


 The smallest blocks in this quilt are 1.5 inches....ohhhhh my goodness!


James Harriot inspired quilts....how cool is this?

 Each block is machine quilted differently...soooooo much fun!








 (hint hint)

Bff is making this quilt...she has several block done...time to get this project on the front burner girlfriend. 
Love this little fabric collage 

The banner quilt for the theme this year...what a fantastic way to feature memories! 



 I want to make this quilt...the question is will I remember that I want to make it?
Barb Schultz who is a local quilt artist had a booth this year.  I just love her window quilt and her Geisha. She paints on fabric with fabric inks
