National Dog Day!

Susan at QuiltFabrication is having a fun Linkup party for all the dog lovers everywhere.  I love dogs and have had a few special dogs in my life.  Our dog right now is Max.  He's a rescue and he couldn't be a nicer dog.  We were told that he was abused and chained up in the back yard all his life.  The very first night in our house, he slept on a soft pillow.  We are so blessed to have him for seven years now.  He's such a gentle loving dog.  All he ever wants is to be pet and go for a walk.  He loves his daily walk even though some days he had to take a break or two.  We think he's about 14 years old.  Last January, I made Max a new coat, you can read about it here.

     

                               

 

In April, I was commissioned to make this baby quilt for a friend's grandson.  I was told that they love dogs.  It was such a fun quilt to make.  This is the first dog quilt I made and I'm sure there will be more to come.



This quilt is made using Faux Rag Quilting technique in my book "Soft & Cozy Keepsakes - Faux Rag Quilting" by the AQS.


Go to National Dog Day 2022 to see all the dog lovers linkup.  

Have a great day and thanks for visiting.

A Gift For a Dear Friend's Sister

I took a break from quilting the wedding gift quilt to make a rush gift for a dear friend's sister.  She's undergoing breast cancer treatments.  I made this piece last year as a back for another quilt, you can see it here.  But it didn't workout well, so I saved it for something else.  I showed them some quilt top pictures and they picked this one.  Two weeks ago, I sent it to a longarmer to have it quilted and here it is.  I just finished the binding.

 


I named this quilt 'Sisters' Love' because I was so touched with the way they take care of each other.  Life is precious; to have someone devoted to you is a blessing.
