Yay! It is August :o) It is time for the Pets On Quilts Parade!!! Snoodles and Padsworth over at Lily Pad Quilting are hosting the 2012 Pets On Quilts and it is awesome! Who knew so many pets all did the same thing, yet were all different too!?
So, here's my entry to the parade (and a bunshof other pics that I couldn't resist when I dug them up):
This is how I, er I mean, WE bind quilts.
Since all three are on the quilt (and two more under Annie) - I can't decide if it's a cat on quilt or dog on quilt category...any suggestions? There are two dogs and one cat...
And here are the rest:
A wall hanging I made for the breeder we got Oakleigh from. This is a Silver Linings Originals paper piecing pattern and I modified the spots to match the ones on her beloved Harley.
A close-up.
O looking at the camera - she's still a baby!
O and Annie looking at me, what the heck Mom? Still a baby....
All three of them on the sofa with me, O is curled up, Molly is wondering why she's lost her spot to a small annoyance and Annie chillin at my feet.
I wouldn't let O on my lap when I was binding this one, I think Molly is under it in my lap.
Molly cat on a kitty quilt her Aunt Nancy made for her. The only way I can get her to use it on a regular basis (she isn't a normal quilty kitty) is to put it on a chair in a quiet room, so it's in my sewing room.
Annie found a warm spot under a quilt that just came out of the dryer. I think O may be under it on the other end of the couch.
That's the girls and Molly! Our furchildren. Just thinking of them makes my heart happy (and I start to worry about my cucumbers in the garden disappearing too). Make sure you check out everyone else on the parade - they're all awesome and totally fun :o)
You have some really good looking furchildren. And your quilts are beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteGreat post/entry for the Pets on Quilts Show. Loved it.

What a sweet bunch of pets you have. Your quilts seem to have a calming affect on them. All are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have a house full of children/helpers don't you?
ReplyDeleteWow the wall hanging you made for Harley is outstanding. And your "helpers" look very pleased with themselves.
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable troupe of helpers, they certainly seem happy and very comfy. Hand sewing bindings must take no time at all with all that help...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt- still too afraid to even attempt paper piecing but WOW!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun group there. We had a pointer/mix which was the best dog we ever owned.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics. I'd never seen any puppy pics of O before. Cuteness. And cute quilts too of course.
ReplyDeleteI love the group effort! The quilts are beautiful and I can see the great inspiration.
ReplyDeletelove that german shorthair pointer...my brother had one many years ago...lovely dogs
ReplyDeleteWow - what a lap full! WOnderful and fun helpers for sure.
ReplyDeleteAdorable Happy Helpers!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have quite a group of furry friends! The first pic is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pile of pets, is that a category? I really like how there's someone under the quilts each time, nice to know all of your work is so appreciated.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts and beautiful babies. Trying to bind a quilt with 2 or more animals in your lap is a lesson in logistics isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI can't get my three youngest to be lap kitties which is very disappointing!
ReplyDeleteHi! How nice to meet all of you! You really have great company for binding! Your furchildren are really sweet and your quilts so beautiful! And , wow, I love your bike! I would love to have one, but here the traffic is too scary and I prefer car even the weather is better for a bike. Hb used to have a big one and we made great trips. Now (unfortunately) he has changed to scooter.

Great to meet you and your feline/canine family and beautiful quilts. And Django says thanks for the comments on his fashion sense!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! All of them!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love all the help?
ReplyDeleteWhat great looking pets you have.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful helpers! So cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in at the Pet Show!
Your pets are all so cute, especially your binding "helpers".
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable. You have the entire parade on your lap when binding. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the pile up!
ReplyDeleteIt must be fun when binding time comes and you have all your helpers!Lovely quilts.
ReplyDeleteAll the pets are beautiful but O has such a place in my heart! Love those GSPs (second to my vizsla and lab/vizsla of course). :D Great quilt! I want to do one of the vizsla but haven't found a pattern I like enough or feel comfortable enough adapting yet.
ReplyDeleteWhat precious fur babies and quilts! I really love the paper pieced wall hanging too!
ReplyDeletewow, the wallhanging is a piece of art! And you fourlegged friends are just adorable. My jrt loves also to go under the quilts :)
ReplyDeleteI understand about the binding. My pets who are no longer with me used to "help" me by pulling out pins - a budgerigar and rabbit. The rabbit also used to pull at the fabric so that he coudl sit on my feet.
ReplyDeleteYour furchildren are lovely and the quilts are great.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing about the photo of Oakleigh on the quilt while you are trying to bind it -- that is what our Lulu used to do! Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos and quilts, and I especially love that paper pieced one -- what an amazing gift for the breeder :)
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts - how do you manage to get any quilty work done with so many cute paws helping?
