Another very small happy dance :)
Since I've decided to postpone quilting my monster (the Out of Darkness
BOM I pieced) until after camp in July so I can take advantage of the class I'll be taking there, I went ahead and made yet another of those small paper-pieced dog quilts. This one is for my twin and her DH. They have Scarlett, a miniature schnauzer, who is a real character. My problem with this one lay in the fact that the pattern showed cropped ears, while Scarlett's ears were never cropped and flop down. But I did my best to edit the pattern and am not totally unhappy with the result (though I'm not totally happy with it, either g). I bordered the block in an Oriental fabric I had, since my twin and her DH will be transferred to China for three years beginning this fall. I'll give them the "quiltlet" (it's not really a mini!) when I see them this summer. I've posted a pic at the bottom of http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1/dogminis.html. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 |

You are having too much fun with all those pooches Sandy!
Very cute, the quilts and real dogs.

Very nice and I would be proud. I'm sure she'll love it.I looked at all
the small pieces it took to make the dog pictures and I think you have wayyyy more patience than I. But I'm glad, our differences are what makes quilting appealing to so many people around the world. I think it's a universal language. Many things can be said with a quilt without ever saying a word. Joanna -- Remove Quilt to reply |

It's adorable, Sandy. And I think you did a great job on those ears!

G But I think this will probably be the last of the doggie quiltlets for a time; I really ought to get on with something else. Of course, since I said that, someone is just *bound* to show up and need a dog quiltlet, too! g -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 |

Sandy, you have a real flair for these! This latest one is also great! You
did a marvelous job on un-cropping the ears. :-) -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Sandy Foster" wrote in message ...

She's lovely Sandy; a fine addition to your doggie quiltlets. I love
that expression and will use it for my mini, but not true miniatures, from now on - if you don't mind of course. ..
