Pink Lightning Streak and Finished ( or not!) Friday

Today my finish is in top form! I snuck in just under the wire on getting this top topped - but I did it!!!! Got it done within the month of May!!!


Ta Da!!! - I love doing the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, but May almost beat me!!! My Friend Vickie let me borrow her chuck its so that I can keep my arm alive ( you know from playing fetch with the dogs) and I said something about May going fast.


When I got home I texted her and said - Oh my!! I only have 4 blocks done of my RSC challenge for the month - and she graciously told me to get to work!!! ( okay maybe she encouraged my - but its my story!!)

And I am forever grateful for her Chuckits - I can throw A LOT more for the dogs!!!

Bella is a full service dog - she carries the chuck it and the ball until we get to the play place - and then she gives me the whole thing. She might also walk a few miles carrying it... she cracks me up!

Judy asked who was who in my family - so come back Monday - We have 3 more vacations days to go - and I will identify whos who - haha!!! If I can remember!

Alright - now my quilty friends - you have tolerated me long enough - what did you finish ( or not) this week? Please use your direct link - a few of you aren't and I am so slow that by Wednesday it takes me to your blog and there are more posts.

I like the purpole and pink. Congrats on getting the quilt top finished, it shouldn't take long to quilt once you get to that step. Have a great weekend.

Hooray for catching up on your RSC project for May! The pink with dark blue is a great combination. I love the photo of Bella - she knows what to do!

Wahoo. . .a May finish in the nick of time! Good for you AND which is more impressive. . done in spite of being on vacation. That deserves ab additional Wahoo! I'll be doing a little quilting on some sashing today.

That pink looks great with the blue! Great choice. Those Chuckits are game changers. My daughter's first dog would chase a ball until he would drop from exhaustion, so using the Chuckit was the only way to keep throwing after awhile. LOL He got excited if he even heard the word BALL. Her current dog(s) are not interested in ball chasing.

My dog used to play with a black lab that loved, I mean LOVED her chuckit and she would obsessively chase the ball and my dog chased her

Seems I'm not the only one working to the last moment to meet May's RSC. Congratulations on getting your pink quilt done.

Bella, the full service dog, cracked me up.

Love the pink with blue. I would never have thought of putting those together.
