It has been a long, unintentional summer break from blogging. Apparently, all things techy at my house decided to go on permanent vacations. My computer was one of the more distressing losses. That brought my blogging to a halt. My new one should arrive next week and get me back up and running again. For this post, I am using my old, old computer which has a mind of its own. If I do not reply to your comments, please understand it is only a temporary situation.
I simply wanted to link up with Susan at Quilt Fabrication for her National Dog Day post.....all things dog.
This is a quilt that I made many years ago for one of our grandsons. He is currently a 6'5" high school senior so I am sure he is no longer using his quilt. I have always loved this pattern. It was posted in a Quiltmaker magazine. If I were to make it again, I think I would appliqué some black eyes on at least a few of the dogs.
Although we have had cats for pets in the past, we are currently sharing our home with two King Charles Cavaliers. They are my constant sewing companions and check my work at each stage of quilting.
How lovely to visit you, Mary. Technology can be a beast. Your grandson's quilt is very cute. The fire hydrant and sweet dogs do make me smile. Your little doggy guests seem to have made themselves completely at home. Fabulous they are keeping you company as you see away.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet doggies! I do love the fire hydrant quilt - whenever Percy sprinkles on one we find ourselves laughing. The quilt would surly remind me of that.
ReplyDeleteYour pups are adorable! And they sure do love to ham it up for the camera don't they. Gibbs wants to be in the center of my outdoor photoshoots. Good luck getting your new computer set up the way you want it. I find blogging is much easier on the desktop than on the tablet.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your computer woes. Never fun. I hope you get a new computer soon and the migration goes smoothly. I do so love dogs it is fun to read your post and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your four legged kids help celebrate international dog day. I sure wish I had a dog. Some day we'll be home enough to adopt. Right now I just don't think we can provide a good home, so in the meantime I'm a free volunteer to dog sit and dog walk any dog that might need such a "free volunteer" in So. Cal.
ReplyDeleteYour doggie quilt is adorable! As are your pooches! You sure do have a lot of quilty fun going on with your pooches. Computer problems are the worst. I hope you are back up and running soon.
ReplyDeleteYour fur babies are so cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I just thought the doggies on the quilt had hair over their eyes..lol.
was pleased to see you pop up and know all is well with you.
Beautiful quilts Mary and love seeing your little dogs! I hope you had things backed up on your computer, seems sometimes like our whole lives are on them. Welcome back after your summer of travel.
ReplyDeleteOof, had my own computer issues not too long ago and yep, a new computer. My sympathies! LOVE that fall quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour dogs and quilts are so sweet! My sewing room has turned into a catio annex housing my sister's 3 cats. I'm a day away from being finished cleaning out her house...and then it will be my house to clean as I brought stuff home after I just couldn't make any more decisions. I'm grateful to get this far.
ReplyDeleteOMD so cute. I've wanted a black and white cocker forever. Our 4 year old black standard poodle is turning gray! So he's a "blue" I guess... LeeAnna at not afraid of color
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the computer issues. Love seeing the pups and all of those pretty quilts.
ReplyDeleteI love all the dogs, both quilted and live!
ReplyDeleteAdorable dogs on great looking quilts! Thanks for sharing with us on National Dog Day!
ReplyDeleteI especially love that last quilt in its simplicity and scrappyness.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful doggy heaven! Isn't it amazing how our pets will zero in on our quilts when we are trying to get a photo? I managed to adopt 2 kitties this summer that must have heard St. Francis was living at my house......
ReplyDeleteYou have the cutest pups, how fun! Love that first quilt!
ReplyDeleteYou have some great helpers there. Hey mom, I don't like this layout, I think it looks better this way. LOL Looks like you have some awesome quilts going on.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a fun dog quilt! Your grandson must have loved it. Your two dogs are so sweet. They belong on your beautiful quilts. I love the photo of them trying to squeeze together in the bed, both hanging out a bit!
