DQS9 & a Parting Gift...

Here is what I've done so far with my doll quilt swap quilt.  I'm thinking it looks okay.  Except for the mistake I made.  I am going to leave it, though...don't think it takes anything away from it.  Plus, I'm being lazy.

 
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Sophie Petersen, the neurologist who treated Allegra last fall, is leaving the VMTH.  I am very sad.  Not that I know her well, but because now I won't get the chance to know her.  She is moving closer to her family...cannot fault that reasoning.

For those of you who don't know anything about Allegra, she was my little collie girl...diagnosed with a lower brainstem lesion last fall.  She was euthanized on Halloween.  I was so impressed with how Dr. Petersen was with her...so very kind, soft-spoken and gentle.  She took her time examining Allegra every single time I showed up at work with her.  She was always willing to answer my questions and was generous with her time & explanations.  

If you're interested in reading more of what went on with Allegra, just enter her name in the search bar...or go to 'what I write about' in the sidebar and click on her name.

Dr. Petersen's last day is this Friday and I wanted to give her something to show my deep appreciation.  So, I made a table runner for her.  I had always intended to make her something...but you know how that goes. 

This table runner measures 15 3/4 x 32 1/2 inches.  I quilted with straight lines, one on each side of each seam.  Most of the fabrics are from the Iced Mocha line...one of my absolute faves...


Back to work tomorrow, but only for 3 days.

More Iced Mocha?

I have a plan.

Finally.

Been pondering this for 2 days.

I'll be cutting into this fabric in a bit.
A very special project for a very special person.
She is leaving the vet school.
I have 5 days to get this done.  

And, of course, more iced mocha scraps can only mean one thing!  
(psssst Sharon...are you paying attention?)

Done for the night...

I put this table runner top together this afternoon...
another 'disappearing nine-patch'
using the scraps from Kimmer's apron.
It's about 10 1/2 x 21 inches...not big at all.



Here's a better photo of the fabrics I used...
part of the Iced Mocha.
Need to put it together with batting/backing
and quilt it...then finish it with the binding.

I am done for tonight, though.

Time to put my jams back on
(yes, I actually took a shower and got dressed this afternoon!)
and do more reading.



How's your weekend going?
