Yesterday was the first meeting of the season of the Crosstown Quilters Guild in Weymouth, and my first as its president. I am happy to report that all went well at this agenda packed meeting. Seventy ladies were in attendance, and all were delighted to see these teddy bears which were made by Clare on the left and Nancy on the right. They had taken a class on making these patchwork bears at Dragonfly's Quilts Shop in Bellingham, MA. The pattern for these bears is Kwii Sew K 3246.
Notice how Clare and Nancy color-coordinated their outfits with the bears . . . not a requirement for "Show and Tell" but always a lovely fashion statement. ;-)
Clare also showed this adorable cat quilt which she is donating to a cat-themed raffle basket for our upcoming Crosstown Quilters Quilt Show in October. The quilt is even cuter in person. The pattern is "Jazz Cats" by Janet Kime from a book called The Cat's Meow, The Patchwork Place, 1994. It was machine quilted by Maureen Anderson of Foxboro, MA.
I wish I had taken more photos as there were many wonderful quilts shown.
Now, as for the title of this post . . . Meet Cordelia, an eleven year old Cocker Spaniel owned by Joyce, a Crosstown Quilter member. I haven't stopped laughing since she showed me these photos yesterday.
Here's Cordelia approaching the tomato patch.
Joyce said that each day Cordelia goes into the garden and helps herself to a tomato for lunch.
It doesn't matter if the tomatoes is red or green she seems to enjoy them all.
Now, if only they could teach Cordelia to weed. . . :-)
We had a dog that would "pick" her vegetables of choice--zucchini, garlic and onions were safe; but the rest of the garden was fair game. Once she had her "bounty" she'd settle down and have a feast! It was a couple years before I figured out why the beans and peas were so easy to pick--vines produced veggies were thigh high. . .where she didn't reach!
