A little material time, doggy style!

Good afternoon all and a beautiful warm sunny afternoon it is turning out to be here in Scotland.  In total contrast to the back end of last week.  Another busy day at work Saturday followed by a trip through to Huntly for Pipes in the Park and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers.  Oh my, the weather was bad, the rain was lashing down and I mean lashing down, such a shame. Muddy and wet, I felt like a true festival goer!  So not my scene I'm afraid to admit.  Don't get me wrong, I love the music.  Too many people, wet, cold and muddy.  The band however, were fabulous as always.
Yesterday I was back into work for the morning and then spend the afternoon chilling, fairly worn out after all the fun at the weekend!
Today I wanted to share with you my first finished quilt.
Yes, I finished my dog quilt for Holly, she appears to like it too, which is a relief.


Proof in the pudding, look......


She snuggled in to my eldest and he put it over her before going up to bed and there she stayed.  Bless!
Today I am having a quiet day after a busy weekend, even though I have plenty to do.  I have a few bespoke cards to crack on with which I think might be an afternoon job after my youngest comes home for lunch.

For those of you who haven't heard the Red Hot Chilli Pipers here's a link for you.  Magic!

Enjoy your Monday and more from me tomorrow.  x

    It turned out so lovely...what a sweet photo of her under it!

    I will listen to the pipes a wee bit later as everyone is still asleep! We leave to go home today, so lots to pack up and haul home. Mountains of laundry as although I do some here...we have lovely clean laundry rooms right in the resort...I just do not want to sit inside waiting for it.

    I can sit inside at home. The lake is our time and place to be outside! Or in the bunkie crafting! lol

    Hi Erika,
    what a super quilt.
    Love the fab colours, and your little doggy seems to like it so much too.
    I would dearly love to make a quilt, but my sewing skills are not so good, as I can't sew a straight line.
    Used to dress make years ago, but if you made a slight mistake on the stitching it didn't show, but I think I am right in saying you need your lines to straight for a quilt.
    So admire anyone who can make one.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
