No, I still haven't found that blasted cord. But Jesse let me borrow his (something I had not even thought of until yesterday) so I could post a photo of my newly finished "Heartwarming" quilt top. It's all ready to be quilted. Well, that is, as soon as I decide on a backing and construct it.
I have at least two more quilts on my list of things to get started, as well as a couple I want to finish up before the next quilt show. That's two years, I know. But time flies these days.
Skipper, who is usually up before the chickens (not that we have any chickens), let me sleep until after 9:00 this morning. I can't even remember when I have slept that late. As I don't move very quickly of a morning, it was almost 10:00 by the time I fed him his breakfast, let him out for his morning constitutional, and got my coffee made. At around 10:20, I went to see what was keeping him, and couldn't see him in the fenced back yard. But the yard is big, so I called and called...and called and called. And finally, there he was, at the back gate, waiting for me to let him in.
This is the second time Skipper Lou Blue has escaped the chain-link-fenced back yard. I have examined the perimeter of the fence and can find no gaps or holes where he could be getting out. I don't believe he's climbing the fence, or he would have scratches or some kind of injuries. Somewhere in my back yard, there is a secret tunnel. Next thing I know, I'll be getting a call from China to come get my dog.
Needless to say, with my schedule so discombobulated, I didn't make it to church this morning. So I'll just have to put the time to good use and sew something. I have a few garments I want to make before I get back on quilts, so maybe I'll do that.
And here are the prize ribbons that my quilts won last weekend. Thanks to Lena Colley of New Traditions for doing the longarm quilting on each of them.

Congratulations on your quilts winning ribbons. You did a beautiful job. It's so easy to forget that you have health issues when you accomplish so much.
As for Skipper, some dogs are just great escape artist. One of our labs (she is 2) always finds a way to escape. She is a high energy girl and loves to run. Skipper is older so I can't think of a good excuse for him.
Enjoy your week. Patty Mc

Lovely heart-warming quilt, lovely ribbons, and a mystery about how Skipper is getting out of the fence!
Hugs!
