Orange RSC blocks

I am finally getting around to sharing my June orange blocks for the RSC! They actually have been done but I never shared. 

Here are the 5 traditional pieced blocks.

Here are all 6 month's colors together. I'm not sure of the final layout yet - whether in rows or intermingled.

Here are my 5 improv pieced blocks.

Here are 6 months of RSC improv blocks!

Another quilt project that I made from a class through the @craftymonkies platform was a caricature of my pet, Nellie. The class was taught by SarahSpencer, @iothealien Sarah's methods were new to me and I really enjoyed the class.

After creating a likeness of Nellie (not her true colors) from a photo using raw edged applique, I outlined it using a technique new to me, quilted, and stretched it over a 12" x 12" canvas frame.

She has been a sweet girl to us and is now in her senior years of slowing down.  I really wanted to see if I could make a quilt from a photo of her. I may try one in her true colors!

National Dog Day!

 Today is National Dog Day! 

I have some special dogs in my life that I would like to recognize. We rescued our dog, Nellie in 2013! She is a very smart and obedient girl! We love her so!

Nothing better than lying on the picnic quilt!

Miss Sadie is my grandpup and lives with my daughter and family. She is a sweet, cuddly girl that loves to chase squirrels!

Milou is my grandpup that belongs to our oldest daughter and her husband. He is timid until he gets to know you. He loves to be dressed up!

I would be remiss to not mention my grandpup, Ole. He was a sweet Frenchie that survive many trials in his life. We loved him so much! 

RIP Ole

And finally, the quilt I made titled Dog n' Quilt. I made this quilt in honor 

of all the dogs that 'bomb' a photoshoot! 

This quilt was made as part of the 2018 RSC challenged and was donated to charity.
