Apologies and NTT

Hey there, friends!  Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday.  First of all, I'm going to come right out with a big apology to all of you.  A few weeks ago, before we got our new puppy, I had every intention of continuing to post NTT each week, even though I knew I wouldn't be able to sew.  Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans!  

We are completely smitten with Tucker.  He is precious, playful, lots of fun, and EXHAUSTING.  It took him awhile to sleep through the night without crying, and we are still working on house training (though both are getting much better), and he had some tummy trouble for the first week.  All of this is to say that NTT just didn't happen, and most days I didn't even realize that Wednesday had come and gone until after the fact.  Throw in the Fourth of July holiday, and four weeks have flown by in a flash. Things are steadily getting easier though, so I'm looking forward to getting back into the NTT routine.  I keep joking with Tucker that one day he is going to grow up to be a very good boy, but it's not looking like today!

Alrighty friends!  I've missed a ton over the past few weeks, so be sure to link up ALL of the projects you've been working on.  Before we party, check out a few highlights from our last party.  Andree at Quilting and Learning linked up this super cute floral wall hanging-

Look at this sweet tote from Anja Quilts-

This piece from Margo at MY Quilts and Crafts is so intriguing!

And finally, I love all this scrappy goodness from Viridian's Blog-

Okay, y'all!  Let's get this party started!

1. You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing!

2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others.

3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link within your 

    post.  

4. Spread the comment love far and wide!

5. Following me is not a requirement to link, but is so very appreciated!

*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop"  when selecting your thumbnail photo.  For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work!  :)
