pillow Talk

http://www.rileyblakedesigns.com/cutting-corners/

Pretty pillow , for a lovely gift or for your own decor.  I like this one as it is the red I see first and red is one of my favourite colours.
 
Here is a tutorial for making a plaid pillow cover.

Well the Canucks management have fired Alain Vigneault the coach. The Canucks were out of the playoffs in the first four games.  It is always the coach who gets the knife. Some of the players have iron clad contracts so they can't be fired. It will be an interesting summer.
 
For Ray and me we had one of those quiet days. Rick met his son Ricky and they went out to their boat. Ricky was able to get Richard on the boat . The marina management had put his boat in a easier slip so that was very kind of them. Rick has had his boat at this marina for 15 years so they are all well acquainted with each other and they have been so helpful to him because of his ALS.  I called an hour ago and Rick is on the way here for dinner. but it is a long way and in rush hour traffic so who knows how long that will take. He said he would tell us all about his day when he gets home.
He got home and said his day was so wonderful as he and Ricky
figured out how to get Richard onto the boat. He was very happy.
 
He and Katie years ago when Rick was well.
 
I makde chili for dinner, Rick had two bowls and I was happy LOL.
We also had fresh buns with butter. No one here has much of an appetite despite Rick having two bowls of chili or I would have made a salad. Neither Ray nor I could handle that. If we have salad that is our dinner. Appetites seem to disappear as you age. Isn't that weird?
Yesterday I took pictures of quilts made by the ladies of the quilt group and forgot to take them off the camera. I had forgotten to put the little card inot the camera so had to use the on camera photo album which only allows 7 photos. But here is what I took.
Betty is the champion of heart quilts. This one is made of plaid fabrics and is so nice.
Pretty in purple, these quilts go to the hospital for children.
A different border treatment  on this one.
WILD!! says Betty with a twinkle in her eye!
This is really wild. Betty loves all these wild fabrics.
 
Pat made this beautiful quilt, the part on the left is a pillow piece and should be viewed from another angle. All appliqued and quilted by Pat. She does such wonderful work.
I can't remember who made this one but I really like.
Time to change.
So cute! This poor dog can never have a happy face , his dewlaps will not allow it hahaha.
And I don't believe any of it. Cats are so supercilious and sure of themselves.
 
 
 
No matter what the cat says dogs know how to relax too.
 
 
Time's up.
Have a lovely evening folks.
Good night.
