I had to grab this quilt from a few years ago (dated 2009) and take it outside to see the sun. There is a quilter's show and tell over at the
Quilting Gallery and I wanted to play along. And... a great "Pets on Quilts Show over at
Lily Pad Quilting.
Here is the text I included with my quilt in the Show & Tell: "I made this quilt in memory of my cat Mischief. She was my first baby after I got married. Every day she managed to live up to her name. She brightened my life and kept my feet warm for over 16 years. Today I have two beautiful, fun-loving, rescue dogs to keep my feet warm and make me laugh."
This picture doesn't show the quilt very well, but it does show you the smiling faces of my puppies. The pattern I used for the applique is by Darcy Ashton in her book
Claire's Cats. This book doesn't appear to be in print any longer, so availability may be limited.
The contest starts on Friday, so please go check it out and give me a little voting love.
Joanie over at
Joanie's Trendy Quilts pointed me to Pets on Quilts. Check it out at the link above. I'm totally torn on this one, is it a "dog on quilt" picture or a "pet-themed quilt" or both? Can it be both? I don't know. I suppose if I had to pick one, if I can't pick "dog on pet-themed quilt," is
pet-themed quilt, since it really is about the quilt.
Great quilt ! Go check out Lily Pad's blog. She is hosting pets on Quilts this weel!
