Binding company

I spent some time yesterday morning sewing the binding down on a bed quilt while Eleanor played nearby. Shadow loves nothing more than to rest his chin on the quilt while I do this, and since this quilt is going to a pet-friendly home, I obliged. Eleanor helped out by taking a photo and did a terrific job; you can see him (the black fluff!) by my left elbow, on the right of the photo:

She's at a bit of a low angle though, so this one below is zoomed in on him. Being black, it's a bit hard to work out; he stretches his nose right out on the quilt, then tips his head in to rest against me as well - you can see his left eye just above his nose, and his greying chin. He's a bit scruffy; next week he and Cocoa are due back at the dog groomer's.
