Pickles by Brian Crane for September 01, 2023

Earl good work. Do whatever it takes to get out of going to the quilters convention.

That’s sad all right

Quilters convention or death?

Tough decision!

Did Lazarus’s sisters use sad puppy-dog eyes on Jesus?

I must not be doing it right

Earl looks really spiffy today!

Back on June 24, we saw Roscoe passing along the trick.

In the 1950s my Grandmother and her friend used to make quilts in the “parlor” I remember them setting up some sort of rack, and they made good use of old rags!

My dog has the eye thing down pat!

He could use that quilt on the couch tonight.

What, she didn’t give you a snackie ?

They had a quilting exhibit at the local museum and the quilts were amazing. My wife and I have taken up quilting because of it. It’s a great hobby.

Just remember though, Earl…if she learns it, Opal can do the same thing to you!

Does he use that same look at 10pm?

How does he get his glasses to jump over to Opal and back?

I’d be happy to go just to get a ride in their Studebaker Champion!

It only works if ya take your GLASSES off..????

Canine reference with no sight of Roscoe today. Yayyyyy.

Oy! It’s much worse than shopping at the fabric store!

Reminds me of when Felix the Cat looked at something.

Smoot as silk, Earl……..

My wife developed immunity after just a few years. :(

If you have to use “sad puppy eyes” to get out of something you hate to do, you’re in real trouble.

Those puppy dog eyes ……… works every time …… :)

My rabid quilter sister in law’s going to love this. She also made Covid masks, but my clinic and hospital didn’t like their “R-1” rating.

Awwww. Grandpa Earl’s got cute button eyes! <3<3<3

I like looking in puppy’s eyes

But not when they’re all covered with flies

Dead puppies aren’t much fun no oh oh

Wow, I did not see that happening. My wife always said you are going and that’s final.

Why would Opal WANT Earl to go to the quilter’s convention with her? As much as theses two spar, you’d think they’d both relish a couple of days apart.

To make Earls life much more enjoyable, he should take the time to write down stupid jokes about quilting, knitting, etc. He should practice them at home taking note to make the most pathetic laughing sounds followed by a big, toothy grin. It will guarantee his permanent banishment from said hobby establishments.

The power of dog….

There’s one I go to most years in Fredericksburg VA at the end of September. Sewing and Quilting Expo..
