SPRINKLER

I finally have a new quilt to show. I showed it for the first time at the State Get-Away which was last Wednesday.
The breed of the dog is a Newfoundland and I named him Sprinkler. Why? I have been thinking that if I ever get another dog I would name him Sprinkler. Just think it is a cute name.

Truthfully, it started out as a red dog on a turquoise background, but that didn't work for me so I switched gears and went on my own gut instinct, and think it worked. I've learned over the years to just go with what feels right and I must say it almost is good advise.

BLAZING SUNSET

Blazing Sunset is also hanging in the show and is for sale also. It measures 55 3/4" x 39 3/4".

This quilt showed in a number of national quilt shows and also showed in Istanbul, Turkey. In 2003 I took a trip to Istanbul, where I was invited to teach a class and show my quilt in a local show.

The price is $800.00

BAGEL THE BEAGLE

For some reason the quilt did not show up in the same post, so here it is.

BAGEL THE BEAGLE

This is Bagel, our Beagle. He came to live with us about a year after we were presented with Sally. He does not play with toys, but has a bone that he has had at least 4 years. Every day he hides his bone. Sometimes when I go to bed at night I find it under my pillow. Yet other times he will put it just in front of my husbands recliner. Quite the character. I made a quilt of him because he has such an expressive face. Not for sale, but just had to share.

TOOOOO CUTE

Have you ever seen a cuter puppy. This is Sally at about 6
weeks old. Now she is almost 12 years old . Very loving but also a little devil.
