Happy Seventh Birthday Hazel

She was born seven years ago and she's one of the best and goofiest dogs we've ever owned. She's my constant reminder to take breaks in the studio and has to come and check on me often throughout the day.

Taken early spring

She loves pillows as you can see as well as the water and playing "glove". Happy birthday my precious girl!

After the guild meeting up in Hale, of which I became rather emotional talking about donating all of those quilts, I scurried home after making a quick stop to pick up softener salt at the Standish Milling company.

Let's side track for a second. Standish Milling is worth the trip over! Their salt is less costly than anybody here in Gladwin, not to mention a better quality. But that's not the shout-out reason. Their service to their customers is OUTSTANDING! I no sooner pulled up by the salt and a guy came over and loaded it into the truck before I even finished paying for it. The cashier was extremely pleasant and made one feel at ease. They have a large variety of items in their store and it's a place we'll be patronizing in the future!

Okay, back to quilting. Jim was already home for lunch but had to scoot out to a dentist appointment and I scooted out to the studio. While I was quilting this piece...

An E2E was requested in here

DW was over stitching out the Soothing Log Cabin. Once I got the wall hanging done on Bernie, I got it off and started loading the next back. Meanwhile, Marty's back was finally dry and I was able to get this one set and ready to go for today...

The next one up on Marty

DW finished his thing and he did fine, so I'm not sure what happened to Linda's stitch out on DW previously. It was probably something I did. Who knows? Anyway, I pulled another one of mine out of the tote and am now frame ironing for the Tula Butterfly. That ones going to take a while I'm afraid.  

I was supposed to have a customer come and pick up yesterday, but that never happened. Maybe today?
