The miles of binding are completed, and Sara's Log Cabin quilt is installed on her bed. Remy jumped right up on it and told us he thought it would be ok. What is it with our pets and new quilts? They always want to lie down on them to test them out. How many times have you tossed a quilt top onto the floor to stand back for a better look, only to have your dog or cat walk right over it and lie down?
Here is a picture of the whole quilt, minus dog accessory. Classic, but somehow modern looking. It works very well with her bedroom decor, and Sara seems to be quite pleased.
I have survived my first week on my own since my husband went back to work. His job is some distance away from where we live, so he has to stay at the job location all week. I miss his company, particularly in the early evening, when we have the habit of sitting on the porch with a glass of wine and discussing the day's events. However, I am thoroughly enjoying being in charge of the tv remote control. I can watch shows directed towards a more female audience, which I normally wouldn't subject him to. Outlander is my guilty secret.
Our weather is becoming progressively warmer, and the sound of weed whackers is going on all day long in my neighborhood. I think this weekend may be the one where we get our herb garden planted! Whatever your plans for the weekend, I hope you are happy and safe.

It looks very nice Nicole. Good job! Hope your period of adjustment goes OK. I think you have been through this before but I am sure it is not easy. Have a nice weekend. The weather person is still saying rain in the Bay Area for us. We will see!

The quilt turned out beautiful, love the colors and the classic/modern feel. Outlander is wonderful. Have you read the books? I’ve convinced my husband to read them too, he’s enjoying them and now we watch the show together, so it’s no longer a guilty pleasure!

Wonderful quilt and Remy knows that! I have the same ‘problem’ as soon as a new quilt or quilttop lay somewhere one of my cats is one it.
Enjoy your rule over the remote control your hubby will reclaim it as soon as he’s back;-)

Love the quilt Nicole. For some reason I have never made a log cabin so I’ll have to add it to my list. I am Outlander obsessed too. I have read a few of the books and will read the rest at some point. That show makes me want to knit everything Claire wears.

The quilt looks great in its new home. I like the graphic-ness of it.

Of course we have to get the ‘paw of approval’ on any quilt project as soon as it hits the floor! I’ve finally given up & just let the dog be IN the photo because it’s easier than shoo-ing them off the already rumpled quilt! Sara’s log cabin’s layout looks perfect on her bed! Good job!

The quilt looks great! Sorry you’re missing your husband – my best friend and neighbor just moved away and we watched Outlander together – love the books and the show!

The quilt looks great, Nicole, worth waiting for. In my house each quilt is checked out by 1 dog and 2 cats.

Sara’s quilt is lovely and it’s no wonder she’s pleased with it and with your wonderful talents! I love Remy’s happy smile! 🙂
Yes, all of our pets have gravitated to what we call “the silly millimeter” that has them a modicum higher than their surroundings. Our beloved Basset Hound, Daisy, would stretch out on the corner of a tarp when the tarp was flat was on the patio. She seemed to imagine that was a special place. Too funny.
Wishing you well as you and your DH adjust to being apart during the week but I hear you about having sole control of the remote! Hope he has some family to be with during his work week.
Hugs!

Great quilt Nicole. I’ve made a number of log cabins, but yours looks a tad more modern for a younger generation. I solved our problem of remotes by adding a second TV in our bedroom. Turned out my husband loved it and I no longer heard alligator hunts and police shows. Other things we watched in the living room together. For a while my husband commuted from TX to St.Louis. It was always fun to look forward to Friday nights and Sunday parting for the airport eventually was something we dealt with easily.
