meet Wizard

Here is my completed pup applique. It looks like another dog I used to know rather than my dog, Bridget. So I'm calling this one Wizard. I definitely needed some practice with this (and I need to wash out the pencil markings!). So I'm going to shop for some perfect fabrics..maybe hand dyes and then make a picture with my two labs, Sandy and Bridget. Then if Mosley is sweet and not acting like a criminal, I'll try one with his picture....if!
I really enjoyed stitching this boy. Marianne is posing here while I type this reminding me that she would also look beautiful in a quilt.  She's right, of course.








Note, this is an older post for Pets on Quilts 2017 of a quilt I hadn't shared yet.




In the meantime, the quilt group I meet with monthly has started a BOM. It is a mystery revealed one step each month. If you would like to join along with us, check out Pieces of Rana's Life for the pattern instructions.
This is my effort for the first month.  The edge is just turned over and will hopefully look alot smoother when I stitch it onto the background.

Pumpkins :-) just in time for autumn!

    Oh MY!!!! My beloved Golden Retriever, Morgan, has been gone for nearly two years now. I am still at a loss without her. She was my gold standard for love and affection.

    Needless to say, your quilt speaks volumes into my heart. :-)

    Labs and Retrievers are like God's gift to dog lovers, IMHO. You did a wonderful job. Also, the one with many dogs that you showed a few days back is astonishing. I can't comprehend that kind of talent or patience. Such an inspiration!

    Good job, I have not yet found enough confidence to make a Paw-trait. Plus applique is not really my favorite and I think the applique ones look so nice. That pumpkin is adorable!
