I am ...Bonnie I am excited and can not believe why. I am one of those who complain about all the ads on my blogs, I will admit that. Tonight while reading yours one more came up (I try to x them before they show) but I didn't get there in time. Grumbling I glanced at it(what now..) But for a second I stopped, even clicked for more info. It was for a medication that would stop a dog's constant itching. Yes our poor Bobdog has unknown allergies. They thought it probably flea spit! I live in FL very near the Gulf. We had no freeze last year (1st time in the 36yr I know). Here you are talking about your cutie and because of an ad we may have found help for our dog. Sorry to run on but I am thrilled he may finally get relief. Benadryl and prednisone did not work nor expensive grain free kangaroo food. Fingers crossed.

So whenever i would grab a quilt and sit down to hand stitch the binding down he could be found nosing underneath the corner of the quilt, looking for a nice sleeping spot.<br />hugs and pats to Sadie and Emmy Lou.<br /> Glad to see that you're taking some 'me' time out of your busy schedule as well for that massage.pdudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372143874425562139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-76348397523533648712017-11-08T04:22:39.171-05:002017-11-08T04:22:39.171-05:00Hand binding is my favourite part, with or without...Hand binding is my favourite part, with or without TV.

I was binding a baby quilt last night, complete with both cats beside me on the couch, under the quilt! I like to use very close stitches for baby quilts as they get washed a lot. I was doing great last night, then discovered a place where a piece of binding didn't get caught in the seam. Sigh. Will do a repair later today and finish up tonight.

I...I wish I had the time to sit and bind sometimes. I usually bind entirely by machine for the many sample quilts I make for the shop I work in. I save those special quilts for my road trips which are often one or two weekends a month when we load our horses up and travel to our remote spot in the mountains of North Arkansas. Having a busy longarm business also takes my time away from me but I try to make sitting time a priority when the hub comes home from work..You’ve inspired me to start hand binding a few more of my quilts...I’m about to start watching Stranger Things thanks to my 24yr old son who suggested it. Special prayers for you and your family during these heavy days.

Love the cartoon in your blog I actually have that problem. I have 2 cats that think when Mom sits down at the computer it is time to nap in front of my monitor (desk top version). They take turns as to who gets to sleep there. lol<br /><br />Sorry to hear that your father-in-law's time to go home is near. Praying for you and your family.

Also, by the time I am done I don't mind giving it away because I'm sort of sick of it!<br />I don't like wonder clips either. I use old fashion metal (snap up to open - down to close) hair barrettes. They are less bulky to handle in my left hand. I got mine at the dollar store for cheap...I saw them being sold as a quilting item once for a crazy price. <br />Anyways, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for everything you do for us despite everything you have going on.Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465436654434163397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-20288167751849546602017-11-07T10:47:20.749-05:002017-11-07T10:47:20.749-05:00I too love to unplug from the real world and bind ...I too love to unplug from the real world and bind with an audio book talking in my ear.
