Bloggers’ Quilt Festival




When I make a quilt, I seldom have plans for it.  I quilt to keep busy and to do something creative.

When my husband Bob saw this quilt taking shape, he said, "I want this one."  We're "dog people", so it's staying here instead of becoming a gift or being listed in my etsy shop.


May your bobbins always be full,

    Fabulous use of doggy fabrics. I can understand why your husband wants to keep it.

    As I'm a student in matching quilting to design, I love your doggie bones. Perfect for the lovely top.

    The fact that your husband loved it that much is heartwarming. I think he is right, the quilt is great.

    What a fun quilt and the quilting is adorable with those dog bones! My son's family lost their beloved doggie...our grand puppy this Monday and it's been so heartbreaking. Wanting to make a memorial quilt for them and your quilt will give me some ideas to use. Thanks for sharing and have a greatvday

    This is so cute. It's great when it just "has" to stay home, isn't it?

    I always like it when quilters tie their quilting to the motif present in their quilt top. Love the dog bones!

    I can't tell which of these two posts is your festival entry, but they're both nice. We're doggy and kitty people, but it takes something special to make a man request that we keep a quilt. Good going, girl.

    When my hubby saw the photo of my leaf quilt on my computer, he thought it was a photo I had found on Flickr or somewhere,...I said, "no, I made that !" I think I got his attention, too.

    I can't believe how the quilter changed the quilting plan on the commission you sent to her. Good thing your friend is kind and understanding. It did turn out pretty, though.
