What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

These are some of the new blocks I have been creating. Most of them were customer requests.

HAPPY PIT BULL is a rendition of a customer’s pet. Although pit bulls are not my favorite breed, I’m loving them more now that I have this sweetie. I love this image so much, I put it on the back of a shirt. No one will mess with me now.

This SHELTIE is Caroline’s pet named Skittles. Adorable!

This is a very serious dog, the MASTIFFF. And this is a sweetheart of a ...

This adorable handmade paper pieced DOG QUILT is being offered in an online auction, benefits to go to the Street Dog Foundation.

The quilt was lovingly paper pieced by Janet, using my dog patterns, of course! She donated all of the materials and her time for the Street Dog Foundation’s benefit. It would be great if you would show your support by placing a bid on this lovely quilt in the next 2 weeks, after which bidding will end.

This is a Valentine doggie block I designed in 2019.

This cutie I designed this year…

Wouldn’t these blocks make cute pillows or potholders? I’m going to try to sew them up before Valentine’s Day.

Both patterns can be found in my ETSY SHOP. I’d love to see what you can create using these sweet pups.

Another customer requested a boxer pattern. Here’s a photo of her pup. Isn’t he a cutie?

I decided to tackle this breed from both angles. Here’s ...
