Real mean watch dogs huh? "hey, come on in! We keep the good silver over
here. You can find the jewelry in the back closet under the blanket
chest. Just rub my ears and I'll let you know where the cash is!"

Really Maureen, I can't tell you that! How effective will they be if you
come armed with ice cream sandwiches and tennis balls.

Very sweet looking (oops, I meant intimidating) stash protectors. And
they
can be bribed with what--hotdogs, burger, milkbones? (Got to know in
case we
plan a stash raid)

I'm beginning to feel there are cracks in my defense system.g

Normal is good Donna.
Those pooches sure are sweet looking for being such attack machines!
I bet I have a doggy treat that would be a good bribe ; )

Some bumps in the road of my life have kept me away from the group for a
few months, as well as away from quilting. Things seem to be back to
normal at this point and quilting is slowing starting to happen again.
In the meantime, I thought some of you might enjoy seeing my very big and
MEAN stash protectors, Crusher and Killer. (I put their alias' in the
photo captions so as not to frighten the general public.) They're "at
ease" in these pictures but don't let that fool you. They can attack at
a moment's notice should they sense a threat to the safety and security
of my stash. They have very large teeth and are not afraid to use
them......
Look in the "Pups" folder and prepare to oohhh and aahhh.

Wow! That's beautiful! Now I think I know what I'm going to do with all
those strips I've been saving!

Thanks Sandy! To be honest, I wasn't sure how that string pieced quilt
would work without a foundation. I'd always heard that, because of the
bias involved, a foundation was needed. So I dutifully printed some
paper foundations out of EQ. I wanted a certain amount of organization in
the blocks so I thought the foundation would help in that. I quickly
found out that I don't like paper piecing. I can do it with no problem,
but the process is just too tedious for me. I was using official paper
piecing foundation paper, but removing it drove me crazy. I can
absolutely see where it would make life much easier for certain blocks,
but not here. So I ended up just piecing the strips, being a little
careful not to stretch them. I made the blocks a bit larger than needed
and just whacked them down to size at the end. I really didn't get any
distortion to speak of. It was a fun way to use up some scraps. Now all
it needs is some quilting.....

Howdy!

Of course I love the pics of the pooches, esp. the Spaniel
(that long nose is very familiar).

On Topic: the WIP pic of the String Pieced quilt,
without foundation-- that's the way I do it.
Since I handquilt everything I don't want another layer under
the top, I like to use batting and backing as usual.
Just sewing narrow strips together gives the top plenty of structure.
Very nice quilt, Donna, well done!

For more On Topic, see Donna's quilt pics of the chair quilt,
starring her Stash Protectors. ;-P
