Not the dog's fault!

Beau is now 16 weeks old and a real pleasure to have. Only last night I told someone, that he is as good as gold and no he has never chewed anything. I mean would he, he has the face of an angel.



Well this afternoon, that all changed. I had ben busy planning for school and ironing until 3pm. Then I sat down for a cuppa and to browse through the book that had arrived today, 'Quilted Symphony by Gloria Loughman.' I then decided to go and do some sewing as I have a 12" square wallhanging to complete by next Tuesday. I was only gone 5 mins, when my husband called me to say there is a load of ribbed paper in the lounge. I actually laughed and said 'expect he has had some fun with the newspaper'. When I came in an hour later, all I could see was the front and back cover all torn and the pattern totally shredded. I will have to order another book now. At least I had, had a quick look at the book. I will not leave any of my books around again.

I also had a disaster with my mini wallhanging. I was using fabric that I had dyed myself. Not quite sure where I had gone wrong as it was all tacked carefully, but when I started to quilt it, the fabric seemed to stretch and looked horrible. I will have to start again, this time I am going to use batik fabric. I have to show the month of June on my quilt and I am going to do the summer solstice at Stonehenge. Picture to follow next week.
