Since I needed to do a little rearranging in my sewing room for Chris to sew some RWB HeartStrings blocks with me this weekend, I decided to make a few blocks while I was at it.
This room is still a mess but I think we can work in here. If you’d like to make some blocks with us this Memorial Day weekend you can view the guidelines at the HeartStrings blog.
While I was working upstairs – look who found the quilt I’d folded and set on the chair. Chesty needs his summer haircut but I wasn’t able to get him an appointment until Tuesday so he’s really curly right now!
Chesty looks so much like my grand-dog Max that I just want to give him a hug. These little white cotton ball dogs are such sweeties.Linda
He’s so cute! I love your blocks….very nice!
Mary, I love that your son is planning to do some string blocks with you this weekend! I remember his post card a while back 😉 Have a great time!Hope Chesty loves his soon to be summer cut – our schnauzer got one the last time and wow what a difference – he was so entergetic like a pup!Thanks for your email reply today – I knew you’d understand 😉 and I hope to blog about it later on tonight after my kids are in bed. 🙂Love from Texas! ~bonnie
How great that Chris will help you sew over the holiday. Chesty looks so cute in his curls. Have a GREAT weekend.
Do you use a muslin foundation for your heartstrings blocks? Any problems with quilting it?Marianne
I’m glad that Chesty is finally comfy in his new home!

he is just too cute! Looks like maybe he’s starting to settle in.
It seems that all animals know that a quilt is the best place to relax!
Thanks for sharing the picture of your string blocks – now I’m 100% clear on the fabrics to use for the patriotic blocks.Chesty looks so cute on the quilt – looks like he is much more settled now. Enjoy the weekend with your son 🙂
I’m sure sewing rooms are supposed to be messy LOL. And I know for a fact that folded quilts are almost the most inviting!
Chesty is hilarious! What a hoot and a great photo. Your blocks are fantastic. Love them. One of these days I’ll have to make some myself!
It is good to see that Chesty is doing well again.I need to sew some string blocks before Wednesday evening.I miss doing the blocks really, and now I need some, to show at my guild. They are planning some charity sewing in the autumn.
Is Chesty back to his old self healthwise? Spencer is really coming along. What a relief!
