Pets On Quilts on Display!!



pets on quiltsThis is so exciting!  A whole week of Pets on Quilts will be on display at Lily Pad Quilting's place.

Oh my LilyPad has a long list of sponsors giving away prizes!
So hurry up and get over there! You don't want to miss out on that! But best of all we can smile, laugh and grin as we share pictures of our sweet, wonderful and adorable furry friends on quilts!

I have quite a few pictures actually!

Of course at every opportunity I get my camera out and take a snapshot of my Miss Cassie on one of my quilts.
Here she is nestled in 5 quilted pillows on our bed.


This is another favorite picture of mine. She's looking quite pretty and princess-like in the picture below! She is seated on a quilt I made for my hubby. It is densely free motion quilted. The pattern is the Wyoming Star.




I couldn't resist - Here's a couple pictures of when she was a puppy! Look how sweet she looks in the oversized basket.




Cassie's favorite place is under the quilt rack. The quilt is made up of the Star Autograph block received from a block swap.





On our way to my son's house at Christmas Miss Cassie is laying on a quilt that was one of my first quilts to make. I almost threw the top away since the colors mauve and blue were from the early 90s.So glad I didn't!





Miss Cassie always wants to be right in the middle when sandwiching a quilt! My big helper! She is assisting with a quilt made for a very special boy!


 


Alrighty! A quilt to curl up on! It's free reign right if laying on the floor? The blocks in this quilt were from a Challenge block of the month. Each block was paper pieced and each has a muslin foundation. It is quilted with the Baptist Fan motif.




Yesterday Miss Cassie had a hair appointment at her favorite groomers place. She usually behaves quite well but didn't like the tangles being combed out yesterday. When picking her up she was ready to go and wanted go right now! She would hardly allow me to pay for services! Once in the car and in the back seat I looked back at her finding her staring at me, looking quite indignant, and panting heavily let out a loud yelp to inform me that she was not too happy with me for leaving her at the groomers all day!  Inspite of her not having a fun day she is looing good and smells even better! I have her undivided attention here since I am waving a "treat" in her face! She is posed on a quilt made up of blocks from a Christmas block swap.








This is a picture of a quilt I made for my son who has two cats named Mercedes and Beamer.   This quilt was made from David's ties. Notice the kitties are wearing ties.  Many of the blocks are 3 dimensional.with the background fabric being faux suede.





 Here is another tie memory quilt made for my oldest son also made of silk ties and faux suede. Each Ohio Star has either a picture or an end of a tie in the center.  The pictures are something associated with Ty's life. Notice the chocolate lab? That is Hershey. Unfortunately she is no longer with him having gone off to doggie heaven.


I hope you enjoyed looking at my pictures as much as I have reliving them!
Looking forward to seeing your pets at Lily Pad's Quilt Show.
