Bon Jour!  Sophie here,
Yesterday I couldn't resist joining in on the boys' sleepover.  Who knew that sleeping bags are almost as comfy as quilts?!  Unfortuantely, all the quilts around here are being stashed away upstairs, furniture all being moved our for something called "new tile install".  Whatever that is, it is making me very nervous!  There is mention of going to Grandma's house, for a week,   Quelle catastrophe !

There is an evil black monster at grandma's house, and they bring it with them here all the time, to remind us of it's existence.  It has large teeth!  Sharp claws!  A pointy whip at the end where it should have a fluffy tail!  It tackles us and takes our toys away!  It eats our food, runs around our yard, barking at our neighbors,  and I always have to jump up on tall furnishings to get away from it.  Thank goodness it is not as good at jumping as I am.  I think it is Mom's way of reminding us that we better be good or she will call the Sadie Monster.  What have I done to deserve a week with it?
Grandma tries to make the monster behave but when Grandma turns her back, its on us, tackling and growling and cracking its whip...

But, the worst thing about going to Grandma's house...her fabric stash is only about 1/10th the size of Mom's!

Patriotic Poodle

Hidy Ho, Tess here,
We all know that July is coming up fast, or should I say Hot and Heavy?  It is 103 + here this week with the heat consuming everything-hot enough to cook an egg on the patio and definitely to scorch little poodle feet, so what's a poodle to do?
I chose to stay inside with the refrigerated air and hit the red white and blue fabrics!
Threw together this free pieced banner to ring in the Fourth!
Now if I sneak upstairs and throw it on the quilt frame, quick while its empty, I could even have it quilted by then...

 The bright sun kinda takes some of the detail out but had to shoot quick before my padsies got burned!
Hope you all have a fun Fourth of July!
I don't like all the loud noise that much but I manage since it is only once a year...
Toodl-oo,
Tess

Blocks for quilt guild and a bad hair day...

Bon Jour!  Sophie, here.  Please excuse that I haven't been to the beauty parlor yet today.  Bath yesterday but mom hasn't taken the time to give me a good brushing just yet.  Isn't that terrible?  Well,  there are a lot of things mom isn't getting around to these days so I finally decided I better help her out a little.  These blocks have been waiting for half a year, yes that long, to be sewn together and returned to the quilt bank for the quilt guild.  Frankly, I was tired of looking at them piled up by the sewing machine and decided I would just take care of them myself!

Here they are, six lovely purple and yellow blocks.  Now, if I could only do my own hair...
Bonne journée,
Sophie

Three Lazy Poodles

Thinking of changing the name of the blog to 3 lazy poodles based on what has been going on around here lately.  Not a lot of quilting going on...

Poodle art...

Mom found these while out shopping yesterday at Marshal's.  She didn't buy them but I think she really should have!  Aren't they just the coolest thing ever?
Toodles,
Tess
