Special thanks to the dearest husband for being the quilt holder

Finished!!

A long time ago, I was asked to make a quilt for my local Shar Pei Rescue Group

The breed specific fabric is available at  Hot Diggity Dog

Fussy-cut dog heads for the quilt, two pillow cases and a cushion cover (quilt displayed sideways on my eldest son's bed)

Soldi fabrics are "Iron" and Dark Brown Prima Homespun from Spotlight stores

Sorry that I can't remember the pattern source, will add due credit when I find it!!

Linking up with:

Finish it up Friday

Link a Finish Friday #49

Thank Goodness it's Finished Friday

Getting "it" done...

I'd like to be more organised

NOT a New Year's resolution, it's a fact

To this end, I'm joining the group over at Patchwork Times

Simply list 4 things that you would like to achieve for the month

EASY!!.....harder to pick *only* four

ok....

1. Quilt and bind my Hexagon quilt

2. Piece my Granny-along blocks

3. Sort ONE box per week

4. Cut up ONE drawer of my scraps

will check back and let you all know how I go

Merry, Happy......

Christmas!!

From my family to yours....

I'm officially on holidays until the 28th January 2013

may blog or not, depending if I finish something   

Stay happy and safe and "see" you on the other side 

Ta Da.....Design Wall Monday

A big day in the Studio

I pulled my Dear Jane quilt out of hibernation

Have been working on random blocks

Row A is complete

13 of 169 blocks in their proper place

Linking up with Judy's Design Wall Monday

Design Wall Monday

A bit scattered here, not a lot of things going on....

Single Girl quilt blocks, hung so I know where they are

String spiderweb stars, again so they don't get "lost"

"Omigosh, it's Denyse" second set of blocks

A BEE block, some 3 inch blocks (bow-tie, star and spool)

and two lonely "Sylvia's Bridal Sampler" blocks on the far, top right

 These are crumb blocks.

Miss (now) 5 and I pieced them last year

The top *only* needed 2 triangles and a few seams to be complete

now I'm waiting on decisions to be made regarding borders

....but you can't hurry 5 year old quilters!!


I'm linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times, head on over and check out the creative!!

It's been a long time since I finished a quilt top

this one was started a couple of years ago

pattern is "Double Delight", a mystery quilt by Bonnie Hunter
