A Quilt in Honor of Dad...

Hello All!

     Well no more progress has been made on my terrier quilt but I did want to share with you my quilt that I completed with my dad's shirts.  My dad passed away several years ago and I miss him a lot still.

Every winter he wore these long sleeve flannel shirts and they all had to have a front pocket for his cigar and matches.

     So since the shirts were made of cotton flannel, 50/50 and 100% polyester some of the fabric stretched so I picked an easy design.  Large 4-patches were just the ticket.  I matched those with blue cotton flannel.  The back was totally pieced with his shirts.  My daughter, who had a special connection with my dad, has already claimed it as her own.  I have enough to make one more quilt and I know my dad would be happy...

     The lovely model posing is my son's dog, Ket.

Until next time, make sure you do something you enjoy!

Hello My Lovlies!

It's been a while I know, life stuff....
But last month I started a new project and I wanted to share it with you.  I bought this pattern a while ago but didn't start it yet.

Isn't this adorable?!

If you cannot see the name, its a Block of the Month called Terrier Town and is created by Late Bloomer Quilts.  I have a little black Lapso Apso/Terrier and anything that has a black doggie just tugs at my heart strings.

So last month I started and my goal is 2 blocks per month.  Here are the first 2 put together:

Now I don't have all of the fabrics suggested for this quilt, so I am pulling from my stash but I think it looks great so far!

I already have another block for July done and when I finish the second one I will post that also.  I still have a few weeks.

Hope you all get to create something fun today!!!
