This is Heidi. She is our new RSB guile dog in training. Usually puppy educators get their pups at 8 weeks but Heidi needed a home so at 5 months she has been welcomed to our home, where she will continue her training to hopefully become a fully fledged guide dog.
The toy she's holding was a quick sewing job the other day. I had a squeaky thing that use to belong in a toy of Tim Tams. So I sandwiched it in between some stuffing and chose some fabric which looked fun. She really loves it and plays on her own while making it squeak, it's rather funny.
This is one of the reasons for the drought in blogging. I made my first quilt. I have wanted to make a quilt for my grandmother for ages. Mum and I used some fabric which you can print your photos onto and printed twenty pics of our family. Then quilted them together. Of course we found out halfway through sewing that there was going to be an addition coming to the family so we got a pic of a stork carrying a bundle. When the baby arrives we can sew the pics in the empty spots. We also made some white patches so at the family xmas everyone could write a message to her.
It took lots of pretty fabrics and the middle wadding is bamboo so it is soft , light and flexible. I'm quite happy with the end result and my grandmother was so thrilled to get it.
Till next time MnM : )
