Love the bike material. I had some of that but don't remember how I used it.
Sad to say, Boxers were not involved with the "smart gene". And they stay puppies till close to 2 years old. The larger the breed the longer they take to mature. I am on my 2nd Great Dane. He has no idea he is 6 years old, but luckily he is very well behaved. He was a rescue and has anxiety issues, so is on Prozac, which has made an amazing difference in him.
Well, the day at the sew-in at the LQS was good, but I fell off the wagon, skinned my knees, and severely damaged my wallet. But everything I bought was from the $5 a yard bin. Two are bolts of 12 yds and 10 yards, will be perfect backing for the current project, and may just make 2 of the same pattern. I also got several 1 yd to 1 1/2 yd pieces to add to the Civil War fabric for a soon-to-be quilt. All-in-all, all the fabric was planned out carefully, and will be used in the near future.
