Jill, Alex has to be one lucky dog to have made his home with you and how wonderful for the shelter to have it happen. Sandi, I'd love to see a full picture of that quilt lying beside your very comfortable dog on his bed there.

This is a quilt, now completed, by friend Beckie. It was placed on a wall as she was vetting greys for the borders. It won second place at our recent quilt guild exhibit here. The background blocks, which are soft grey batiks, are octagon shapes as can be seen and fitting these all togther, which she repeated in the border treatment, nearly drove her to distraction. She hasn't been able to start another quilt since this one was finished...it took a lot of her creative energy. The pattern is from my Canadian Provincial Flowers pattern.

Snow fell yesterday, a light dusting overnight and November has turned into early winter. We're lucky to have had such nice weather until this week. The fires are going, the last of the wicker furniture will go down to the basement for the winter, the picnic tables are tarped and tied up and the deer are coming out of the bush. Cooper, our dog-guest leaves on Sunday but has been facinated by these very large 'dogs' with the white tails.
