An Ideal Day

I had a great day yesterday. 
Four of the eight green borders are quilted. My machine was so happy to be working...no tension issues! During my practice drawing on plexiglass, I morphed my design through several versions to get to this leaf and flower combo. I still like my original idea but it felt cramped in this particular situation. 


McKinley and I got a great walk in right before my quilting session. Fall is here. Each day the leaves are more brilliant. This is a mountain stream that is a nice hike above our house.


It's not easy to wear out a puppy! Once back home though, Kinley took a nice long puppy nap.


One of my son's came over for dinner so McKinley had someone new keeping her busy. After doing a few clean-up chores before bedtime I couldn't find Kinley. She wasn't in her doggie bed...after a search I found her in the dark living room, sound asleep in an oversized arm chair...on top of a quilt. Too cute...I had to turn on a light and take a picture. She didn't move. It didn't last long. I carried her upstairs to her crate in our room...it was time for me to get some sleep. She does great most nights...sleeping in the crate until about 5:30 a.m.
