Wally & Bella: Family Reunion
Way back in October 2003, when he was only 2-1/2, Wally’s first litter of puppies were born. There were 12 beautiful, pure bred Golden Retrievers. I was drawn to one of them immediately because she was a lovely dark red/golden colour like her Dad. I named her Bella and I was lucky to foster her until she was 6 months old.

Play time!!
The last time I saw Bella was when she was 2 years old but Wally has not seen her since she left us in April of 2004. That was until now. Wally is 14 years old and Bella is 11-1/2. They took one sniff of each other and it was like they were long time buddies. Bella is a little slow moving and has some trouble with stairs but the two of them ran around and played like puppies. It was so wonderful to watch.
Beautiful Bella and her handsome Dad Wally

WIP
I was great at keeping up to date with Quiltessentials BOM (block of the month) program until June and then I lost the handle. We are a week away from picking up August’s fabric bundle so I got my act together today and completed June and July.

Little black dress lap quilt is almost done…I am just hand sewing on the binding.
My scrumptious lap quilt has been quilted and trimmed. I just have to attach the binding and then hand sew it on the back.
I’ve made no progress on Leftovers V.

It has been so stinkin’ hot that Spirit has found herself a cool, shady spot under the weeping birch to get out of the sun and chillax.

Lisa Calle Classes
I was very fortunate and had the opportunity to take 3 classes at Sparrow Studioz this weekend with the lovely and talented Lisa Calle. These are pictures of a couple of her samples that she brought to share with us.
I enjoyed all of the class but I felt especially inspired by her Divide and Design Class. I was one of the few that managed to finish their project. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out….a few boo boo’s but that is what happens when you are learning new things. I’m a ruler junkie so I added several of Lisa’s amazing rulers to my collection. Here is my finished class project from Divide and Design:

3rd Quarter FAL List
It’s time to post my wish list for the 3rd quarter of the 2015 Finish-a-long hosted by Adrianne at On the Windy Side. I have 3 in progress projects that I would like to finish.
First is my little black dress quilt. It was on my 2nd quarter list and also on the May and June ALYoF list but still hasn’t been completed. I have most of the FMQ done and then I have to add a label and bind it. It is a gift for someone and it has to be finished by the end of August so hopefully I will make my goal this time.
Second is a lap quilt that is in the planning and piecing stages. I had a couple of charm square bundles of Scrumptious from Bonnie and Camille. I am making up the design as I go along so I don’t really know how the final quilt top will look.
And last but not least I have started Leftovers V. I am using strips and small rectangles left over from my Blue Odyssey Quilt. I’m also planning on incorporating leftover blocks from Blue Odyssey and Leftovers III somewhere in the quilt.
