Flashback Friday And It's A Dog's Life

I love checking old posts for a flashback of some of my sewing projects. This quilt was from a post in April 2014 that shows almost all the pets I had up until that point. I'm a sucker for stray dogs, which is why my newest baby, Charlie, was a foster fail.

I'm not sure, but I think there is a secret neon sign on my house that says,

"Lost or Stray Pets Welcome Here!"

Using a pattern by Amy Bradley, I made a few modifications to the animals.

The front of the quilt has 11 dogs, 7 cats, a bunny, and an iguana, all made using Dr. Seuss fabrics,

including the Lorax fabrics. Each pet's name is hand embroidered on the appliqued collar. 

Besides the dogs and cats, the quilt includes the names of our snakes, bunnies, hedgehogs and hamsters.

(Only a few hamsters made the list because there was only so much room on my quilt.)

It's a wonderful memory quilt of all our pets (minus the gazillion pet rats we had.)

The back of the quilt has a hedgehog, snake, a hamster, and my label created by my oldest grandson.

Speaking of pets...

There is still time to sign-up for "It's A Dog's Life."

Let me know if you want to play along!

Flashback Friday Restless Raven's Room

Flashback Friday is this fun mini quilt I created for Wicked Wednesday on our Facebook Cackling Stitches group page in 2021.

Flashback Friday

This "Wicked Party" happened in 2019 and with a little imagination, I think you can figure out who's going to that party. 

I love my brooms that were from a friend.

There's a new one waiting to get hung up...I'll share it later.

Flashback Friday

In 2015 I made a "Count The Ways We Love You" quilt.

Sometimes people need to be reminded of how much we love them, especially when they are sick. This "manly" heart quilt let us count the ways we loved our family member who was sick.

It has some Tim Holtz number fabric in it that I'd been holding onto for something just like this. The total size of the quilt is 54" x 68" and I added a little corner pocket on the back for love notes.

The photo was taken in Utah, one of my favorite places for taking pictures.

Flashback Friday Block

Someone emailed me about "A Time For All Seasons" block of the month that was way, way back in 2019. I know, that's not that long ago, but when I look at all the BOM's that have I've been involved with since then, it seems a long time ago!

Since I'm off hanging out with the Monkey Boys and Monkey Girl (and loving it),

I thought I'd share a few of the blocks with you for free.

They are just the right size to add to pillows, tote bags, or even a small quilt.

This was a fun one for June as the traditional wedding month.

You can find the block pattern HERE.

Too bad Father's Day is over. This one was perfect for all those ties dad's receive.

You can find the block pattern HERE.

Maybe we just need to sail off into the sunset with this one.

Enjoy!
