Moral Support Needed
No matter what is tackled on Stauffer Avenue, moral support is always needed and appreciated.
Dennis makes his appearance in the sewing studio quite often when I am plugging away at something. Yesterday he asked how many of the eight point pinwheel quilt blocks I was planning on making. I had always planned on 42 of the pinwheel blocks. After adding sashing and borders, it would be a good sized double bed quilt.
Dennis knows that when I do laundry of the beds, I always rotate the quilt that is on each bed. Wear and tear needs to be alternated. Dennis’ suggestion was to made the quilt with 49 blocks, making the quilt square. With the embroidery unit, than apply the small numbers one through four on each corner, making it easy to rotate the quilt in all four directions rather than two. Hmm. His moral support, questions and suggestions are cowboy wise. As of this afternoon, I have 49 pinwheel blocks done and trimmed. The rest of the project will take some time.
I tend to stay out of the garage when Dennis has a project going. When he needs help he asks for it. It he wants my opinion, he asks for it. In respect, I don’t budge in on what he is doing. It’s not to say Dennis does not get moral support the entire time he is in the garage. Snuggles and Harriet are right there lending all the support they possibly can. Of his three cats, those two are the most hands on. Honey Bunny can’t be bothered by the mundane goings on. If Dennis gets out more supplies or materials for what he is working on, Snuggles and Harriet check it out. It is enough to exhaust them. Ya right!
We appreciated the warmer temps today, though is was a very gray day. Maybe tomorrow the sun will show itself.
