New Friend that supports quilting

Don't know if I can keep her.....but she does come to visit me in Sewingville.  Loli and Fabiola and I love her but Guzman does NOT and the man of the house doesn't want another mouth to feed......so far it's visits to come in and eat and take a nap and try to get milk out of Fabiola.....not going to happen.... but Fabi seems to like playing Mama!!

I'm BACK!!//Ya Regresé

Just got back from vacation.  We loaded up Frankenstien and took the dogs on a fun filled adventure to Lake Atitlan in Guatemala.  It is our favorite vacation spot and we loved the cool climate.  Oh, to wear sweater and jeans!!

But the roads going down were a nightmare!!!  Landslides and disappearing pavement.....several times we asked ourselves if we were getting too old for all this mess.....  This one really made me fill like we might actually slide off the side of the mountain....YIKES!

But  few days after arriving the rain stopped and we had lovely sunny weather and it was all worth the bother.  Besides we just love the Marimba Music.

 

And I found a bit of inspiration for a future project......

OH yes, and if you were wondering about FRANKENSTIEN.....

our Chevy Van with the cut off top of our old and terminally broken VW Camper welded on with VW Camper windows installed on the back sides to add a bit of air throughout the van.  Frank may not be pretty but we love traveling in him just the same.....have bed will travel!!!

Fabiola says "Let's do it again real soon!"  The dogs were very good and we all had a blast!!!

Milky Way Blocks

Yesterday I worked a bit on my Milky Way blocks.  My goal was to see if I could get the blocks to consistently finish at exactly 9 1/2"   There were some adjustments needed to the seam allowance but I did it!!!

Ayer trabajé un poco con los bloques de Milky Way.  La meta fue para cumplir los bloques y tener los terminar a las 9 1/2 pulgadas cada uno.  Tuve que ajustar la costurar ¡pero finalmente logré!

Surprise Visit/Visita Sorprendente

What a coincidence!  Yesterday I was lollygagging on the computer looking at photos of Loli and her babies and remembering all the fun we have with the 12 little pups and guess who stopped by?  Willie, the daddy of the pups stopped for a visit.  Loli and Fabiola really enjoyed playing with him as well as we human components did.  They ran and jumped and played with doggy bliss the way Airedales do so well.  So here in the photo are from left to right: Daddy Willie, Mama Loli and Baby Fabiola (she'll be 10 months old in a few days - where does the time go?). 

¡Que coincidencia!  Ayer yo fui gastando tiempo mirando fotos de Loli y sus cachorros y recordando como fue con 12 cachorros ¿y adivina quien nos visitó?  Willie, el papá de los cachorros llegó para visitar sus chicas favoritas.  Loli y Fabiola divirtieron mucho jugando con el  tanto como nosotros seres humanos a ver los juntos.  Corrieron, brincaron y jugaron con tan dichoso como hacen los Airedales.  Aquí en la foto es la familia de izquierda hasta la derecha:  Papá Willie, Mamá Loli y Nena Fabiola (Fabi va a cumplir 10 meses en unos días……que rápido corre el tiempo)

Pups/Cachorros

Georgie and Fabiola last May when Georgie was still our puppy.  This is a one of my favorite photos of Georgie (now known as Don Julio by his forever Mama, Julieta) and our little Fabiola.  Someday SOMEDAY I will learn to make a protrait quilt and this will be the inspiration for that.  Georgie is the upright pup and Fabiola is the sideways pup.  They played so nice together.  But Georgie has found a wonderful home with my very very good friend in Mérida.

Georgie and Fabiola en el mes de mayo 2011.  Todavía Georgie  vivió con nosotros.  Esta foto es uno de mis favoritos de los muchachos.  Georgie ya ha encontrado un nuevo hogar con mi muy buena amiga, Julieta un Mérida - su nombre ya es Don Julio pero a mi siempre va a ser Georgie.  Un día quiero hacer un quilt basado en esta foto - pero primero necesito aprender el técnico.  Georgie es el cachorro recto y Fabiola es la cachorra en su lado a la derecha de Georgie.  Jugaron tan bonito juntos.  Pero ahora Georgie está muy contento en su nueva familia.

 here another good photo....aquí está otra foto buena

New Inspiration/Inspiración Nuevo

This book is a very nice book for me.  I have found something (well many things) inside that has set me to cutting, cutting and cutting fabric for the last several days......

Me gusto mucho este libro.  Encontré un diseño que me ha puesto cortar, cortar y cortar telas por los últimos dias......

The colors will be different.  But this is the quilt "Milky Way".

Voy a camibar los colores.   Este es el quilt "Milky Way".
