Concatulations Julie!

One of Mom's Besties, Julie, made a houses quilt, except she made it with barns. She made one barn for every month of the year, and it was pretty spectacular. I got to see it, and it was really pawsome.

Julie really struggled with the quilt. She made all the barns and then put them together... and didn't like it. So she took it apart and fixed the sky and the ground below the barns, and then added some borders. The quilt is magnificent, if I do say so myself. (You all know I am an expert at quilts.)

 Julie decided to enter it into a local quilt show, and lookit this:

Not only did Julie win First Place for Machine Pieced and Machine Quilted, but she won BEST OF SHOW!!!

I am purring like crazy because I am so happy for Julie. She's one of my best buds. Go on over and give her a high paw!

Full Friday

There are four guys playing tennis at Wimbledon today.  Mom likes all of them, but she really loves one of them. You all know which one.

Mom can't watch because she'll be at her day hunting gig.  They are "re-organizing" the cube farm, and this is what her workspace looked like yesterday.

That's her desk behind the file cabinet. Mom says it had walls by the time she left last night, and today she should get it all put back together.

One of Mom's very best friends at the day hunting gig place had emergency surgery on Wednesday. Something about a gall bladder coming out.  Her friend will be fine, but Mom and I would like to ask you to send her some positive vibes.

Happy Birthday SheBean!
