Puzzle is Finished; Christy Adopts a Puppy

My granddaughter Christy Ginn came to visit and in the first 15 minutes she sat down and finished the puzzle. She has a double major in wildlife/fisheries and entomology from Texas A&M and has loved wild things all her life. While here she continued her search for just the right dog and adopted Stella from Southern Pines Animal Shelter. Stella will go back to Texas with Christy, much to the delight of my three cats. It was neat having my own personal techie who could answer all my questions about my TV and my computer.

Christy had no trouble finishing the puzzle after I had given up

Here is the finished product

Christy made friends with Tarbaby and insisted that he accept a little loving.

"Help!  Somebody come and rescue me!"

He wasn't very happy, but Christy can charm anyone

My quilt guild invited Katie Pasquini Masopust to present a lecture and stay to teach a two-day class on Artful Log Cabins. She shows how to use log cabin blocks in a creative way using an inspiration photo for color placement. I call Katie a "rock star quilter" and enjoyed renewing my friendship with her after taking a class with her in the early 1990s in Houston. (Pictures of my quilt coming later.)

I am so proud of my daughter, Linda. She quilted this top she had made several months ago. It will be hung in her home or office.
