Default 'Shambles' is now a UFO

Shambles is my friend's golden lab (8yo) and the Quiltmaker paper
pieced pattern was the perfect picture of her. I made it up this
weekend in the hopes that I WILL finish it before I see my friend
again - it is her birthday this month and I had planned to make
something special for her this year since she has always helped to
make my birthdays memorable. Pix can be seen in my shoebox album at
http://community.webshots.com/user/barnyowl

If the weather stays not-humid for a few more days, I just might get
back to sewing/quilting. I have also uploaded other pix of more ufo's
that have been "new-to-me" try-out designs in the same album including
2 hug quilts which are intended for the two sisters who recently
underwent surgery for colon cancer (both have been given the 6month
clear signal). jennellh (change the mail to news)

He's beautiful, Jen. Your friend will be thrilled to bits. The hug
quilts for the sisters are lovely too. Pretty and bright to lift
spirits and celebrate.
You have some really pretty work in that file. I love the batik UFO. A
glorious riot of colour.

I have the pattern of the puppy and want to find the pattern for the
kitty from the magazine also.

Want to make a WH of the puppy for my sister and the kitty for me.

WHAT A QUILT SHOW. I spent quite a while in your webshots. Your
Mctavishing is excellent. I'm into line dancing right now and hope to
learn McTavishing next year.

Thanks for the eye candy.

I intended to look at the lab quilt, I really did, but as ever, I got
distracted by the precious busy kitty QI pictures. It seems to me that you
have a whole lot of cute going on there. Polly

Shambles is great but I want to know more about your McTavishing. Did
you take a class from her? I want to do the 25" square piece in one
of the latest magazines. I have some of her books but have not tried
anything yet.
You did a great job!

Thank you, Pat. I have only met Shambles (named for a certain Tudor
street in York - my home town) once but I have a photo of her that is
the exact same pose as the magazine pattern - the timing couldn't have
been better.

I have some childhood photos of the sisters that I have scanned to
incorporate them into the backings for their hug quilts - it will be
fun to work on them and get them finished. Yvonne has been given the
go-ahead for plane travel again but has decided not to make the flight
over this year - this delay will give me the time I need to quilt.

Kate, I have 2 copies of the kitty magazine (one was a gift from
someone who knows that I like quilting and kittens and the other was
my own subscription issue) - let me know if you would like one or a
scan of the pattern (I don't consider a scan of the pattern an
infringement of copyright since 2 copies of the magazine have been
paid for).

Polly, there is so much more than just cute going on here! You
wouldn't believe the new tricks that the lit'divils have taught each
other. I'm glad that the photos entertained you. jennellh

No classes - only dvd, tv and book learning in all aspects of quilting/
sewing. I realized that the quilting that I did on the Navan-Vars
church quilt was my own version of McTavishing after it was completed
(pre-dvd and book). The sampler was my play therapy during the hot/
humid days to stave off quilt withdrawal. I think that I will be
doing more samplers (lots of black fabric available) to test out
variegated threads which are my passion - I can't resist buying them.

Wow, Jannell! That's gorgeous! I'm really impressed with how lifelike it
looks.
