Food For Thought Sew Along With ThermOWeb

Every other month at ThermOWeb has been a sew along where four free block patterns are shared

 and then a week or two later, four free projects are shared to use them in. This month's blocks have 

the theme, "Food For Thought" and all four designers must have had a sweet tooth because they are

 all yummy treats to sew. My block is "Every Day Is A Sundae" and it's dripping in hot fudge.

You need to go check out the other sweet blocks at ThermOWeb and get the block patterns!

These are the designers (including me)...I love working with these creative ladies!

All of us will tell you that we LOVE using Heat n Bond EZ Print Lite Sheets when we make 

applique  projects. The adhesive comes in larger sheets, too. The EZ Print sheets can be run 

through an inkjet printer and then ironed on your fabric. No tracing all the pieces! Plus, the 

protective backing peels off so easy...I love that and think you will, too!

During the week of May 27th to the 30th we'll all be showing projects to sew.

May 27 – Carol Swift

May 28 –Amy Warner

May 29 – Stephanie Brown Cunnyngham

May 30 – Carla Henton

Here's a little snippet of my "Food For Thought" project with my new quilt model, Gage:

We'd love for you to join us in this sew along!

A New Addition To Our Family

This huge hunk of dog joined our family yesterday.

My son sent me a message yesterday that said, "Happy Birthday. I gave you a dog."

I'd rather have chocolates, but this is okay for now.

Gage is nine months old, weighs 56 pounds, and is a mix of a Labrador and pit bull.

So, basically he is a Pitador, Bullador, or Labrabull. I like Pitador because I adore him.

He was a shelter dog who was rescued by a friend of my son.

That didn't work out, so my son took him which gave him two big dogs in an apartment.

My son is moving to a new place that will only allow one dog, so he's tried

to find a new owner for Gage. Twice people took him and brought him back.

He's a lot of dog that has spent most of his time in a cage and was used to playing ruff with 

my son's other dog. That's not working for my two little ankle biters...they don't like him!

We're hoping they adjust once Gage gets some training on his manners.

It's like having a naughty two year old in the house!

I watched him last week for my son and his allergies really flared up...poor baby!

It scared me to death to see those eyes and jowls swelling up, plus he had a rash. Benadryl 

quickly took care of the issues, but now I'll have to figure out what bothered him.

Luckily he's cage trained or I'd never get anything done, because I'm constantly supervising

his whereabouts and making sure my little dogs don't attack him and/or become a meal for him.

Life is crazy with this guy in the house!

P. S. I'm taking a little break from blog hops for the summer, but Carla at Creatin In The Sticks

 will be announcing one in July and I'll announce one shortly after that. I love the hops and

can't wait to jump back in after a summer break. I love being inspired by you!
