Swinging By

My friend Tommy and her dh G and dawg Bella came for a visit on their way to Florida on Sunday. Did I take her picture while she was here? Duh, nope. So I swiped this one from her blog.

We ate and laffed and did the house tour, and tried to get the three dawgs to stop barking. All the noise! It was just like old times, only without the wine. because they were driving, of course.
I insisted that Tommy bring her newest quilt top in from the car.
Here it is on my design wall.


Each one of these blocks is a quilt in itself and so inspiring. Pieced, and some parts are pieced stripes. You know how I love stripes. O my, yes.

It kinda gets my juices flowing to do some small works. Can you see these in sets on a wall? I sure can.

The husbands got along swimmingly and if it hadn't been such a rainy miserable day, we might have let the dawgs run out some of their excitement.

By the end of the visit, Tommy and I were on the couch looking at Pinterest, like a couple of nerds, which we are.
She thanked me for inviting her to stop by and duh again, I asked, "you mean you came because I invited you?" Yup.
Why didn't I think of that before?
Well, that makes me think of inviting lots more people to pop in. Dawgs and all.
