Stay at home round robin next row, two colors

 


it's too much this year, adding in a row each week is frantic to me.... 

we brought this lovely boy into our home on Sunday... a  one and a half year old standard rescue.... 
today he was perfect, he's been here 8 days and perfect. 

This evening I ran up to make a block for the SAHRR... I had wanted ,and pulled fabric, to make two color 4 patches.  One would go above, one below the center...

I couldn't kick into design work this week. Then tonight, 
In my rush to make something, and exhausted, I decided one block with a circle. 
I cut two circles out to put on the background

LOVELY! exciting! 
then  I realized the prompt is 2 colors, not two fabrics... 
oh my heck
and while I was upstairs making something two color to add in, hurting my shoulder, my new dog who doesn't know how to ask to go out, peed on the LR carpet. 
God Bless Him, He was with dh when it happened and I'm the one who usually notices him getting frantic.... 
anyway.... we are finding the experience a very real but worthy challenge. Dewi has brought love back to my life, and laughter, so this is more our fault but we are very tired.... 
I betcha when I sew the whole quilt together in the end, this block will get another applique of a lily

or the two other circles will join the party.... at that point I've met the challenges, but have to make the quilt that's in my mind also.... so for now, finally at 8pm dinner, rest my eyes, pet my puppy and remember my life includes more than creativity even though sometimes it takes over! lol   
mama, put down the fabric and come pet me now

Dewi and his humans just have to get used to each other and get in the swing of things and then all will be well!

Poor Dewi - together you will work out a sign language that works for you both.

Looking good. Can't wait to see the final quilt.

Your quilt is shaping up to be quite gorgeous. You, Drew and Dewi are still in the getting to know each other's moods and signals. It'll all work out. He seems like such a terrific boy. Happy trails.

Every dog is sweet and all mistakes are human . Your new puppy will give you so much love and comfort.

I’m tickled pink that you have found another fur kid to love. And his name is perfect. Love the way your quilt is evolving. I need to put the finishing touches on mine. I’ve had to take on the role of plumber’s apprentice for the last several days. Nearly done!

Dewi will find a way to let you know he needs to go out. Duke stares at me until I ask him if he needs to go out and then he bolts for the door.

The small additions to the SAHRR are still creative and look good. Spending time with Dewi, and learning his mannerisms is more important right now. Soak up the doggy love!!!

Oh goodness, I think Gail wouldn't mind two fabrics as an interpretation of her 2 colors prompt, but the bright great does look really good and like a perfect place for a lily to be added. I hope that the adjustment to the new pup in the house continues to have more love and laughter than exhaustion.

Quilting Gail said...

Your SAHRR is looking fantastic. As Yvonne correctly said, I wouldn't mind if you used 2 fabrics instead of 2 colours! Remember, it's YOUR quilt and there are absolutely NO quilt police!! Enjoy Dewi!! He looks like a darling! Thank you for joining the SAHRR'26 and linking to Round #5!

Half the fun of reading your posts is reading your life all around you. Glad you have a new friend in your home, and happy that your finish for this week's SAHRR was successful!

Hey, two fabrics works for me! And you have a new pup! I'm so happy for you!

It is such an admirable thing to rescue a pet. He is a beauty for sure. Your two fabrics are fabulous. Have a great day.

Kathleen said...

I am sorry it has been a challenge this year but I love the way it is turning out. I hope you use both, as I think they both add something. This week will give you some space to add what you want to make it your own! Dewi is so beautiful.....

Twyla said...

Congratulations for your new family member. Dewi looks perfect.lol

It's always a learning curve when you get a new dog because it seems every one is different when it comes to their signals. It's early days yet and I know you'll figure it out.
