These past weeks have been pretty much the same routine. . .
I've been crazy busy with making new quilts from new patterns that I've designed. . . (& getting to use my own fabrics has been such a wonderful experience!) In fact. . . although I want to make more designs, for the past few days I've been making myself stay out of the studio. . . & I've sat myself down at the computer - to get the patterns written & completed. (The creating & making of the new designs is soooo much more fun than writing the patterns!) Pattern writing is so important though - & I'm trying to be sure that directions are clear, & that things are checked, rechecked & then checked again. It's quite the process.
But. . . in making the new designs. . . that means that my quilter, Nubin, has a lot of new things that keep coming her way. . . and bless her heart - she turns my quilts around so fast for me when it's Quilt Market time, & often, she even delivers them. (I ♥ her!)
So this is a scenario that has been happening on a fairly regular basis. . .
"Hey Bailey! . . . what's going on?"
"Nothing much, Mom. . . . um, but. . . wait. . . I think I see a car!"
"Hey Mom! It's Nubin's car!! I love Nubin, Mom!
"I know Bailey. . . but you know the rules. . . you have to sit until the car stops."
(. . . & the car has no sooner stopped then Bailey becomes 'Johnny on the spot' & at Nubin's car. . .)
"Hi Nubin!!!! I'm here!. . . I'm here!. . . I'm so glad to came to visit me!"
"Do you need me to come in & help you with anything?"
"Really!. . . I can carry in something for you if you need me to!"
"Oh, okay. . . you got everything?. . . "
". . . like 'loves' for me?
Thanks Nubin. . . I love getting 'loves'! "
This happens each & every time Nubin comes over. . . (even when she doesn't have a quilt!). . . & I never tire of it! What I couldn't capture in these photos is how much Bailey's (aka "Mr. Wigglebottom") bum wiggles! I tease Bailey that Nubin is his 'girlfriend'. . . (& honestly, she is!)
. . . This is the scene when Nubin gets inside. . . & according to Bailey . . . it must happen as soon as we all get indoors. . . if not then he literally grumbles & cries until she gives him all her attention. Then after a minute or so of 'loves-'n-rubs' . . . he lets us talk & he happily goes to one of 'his' chairs. . .
. . . After all. . . his 'girlfriend' is in the house. . .
Hope you have a great week!. . . I'll try my best to check in as often as I can!
xo, Bren

How Belssed you are to have a friend like Nubin. She not only likes you but she also likes Bailey and it shows in these pictures. Wishing you and Bailey and lets not forget Dad a great week.
I can just picture baileys bottom wiggling and wiggling, your pictures are great. looking forward to seeing your lovely new creations.
I adore the look of the black tin? birds in your gravel. They are gorgeous.
I think Nubin's twin brother lives at my house, only, he's not as patient as Nubin! What a sweetie pie!
S.W.A.K.
THAT is so cute! What a sweet little doggie! They always "know" the good people, don't they! Good luck with your new designs, I know they will be awesome! LOVE your work!
Bren, please do a little video! I'm trying to get a doggie and every bit of evidence they are fun would help my case--my DH wants a big yellow lab and I want a Westie, but I still love Bailey & Rosie...can't wait to see Celebration!
What a sweetheart! Bailey is so adorable!
That darn Bailey is so cute! I wish I could meet him in person!!;)
You have the best welcoming committee! Are you getting excited seeing all of your wonderful quilts getting ready for Market?
Hi brenda...I know just what you mean about the creating being WAY more fun than writing about it! I can't wait to see all of your new patterns...
