A good quilt for a good puppy. My coco will be turning 1 year old on Christmas Day! What better reason do I need to make her a special quilt just for her.
My friend, Sheila, will recognize these blocks. We exchanged them years ago and I decided to use some for this scrap happy quilt.
In honor of Tonya's new book, I used her style of liberated letters.
I did my favorite unmarked liberated cross hatch. I developed a new method of doing this and will share it with you soon.
I think she likes it! And yes, I do intend for her to use it on her bed, in her crate, wherever she likes.
Yooray! I finally finished my Christmas Red Work. It only took about 10 years..... I love this 50/60's Santa, he is the real one for me.
I also finished my house for Beth's House Project. You still have until January 1st to send her a 12" block.
And finally, from my home to yours, Merry Merry Christmas!! Poor coco, she just had to endure it.
I am still planning to do a post on my marking techniques and tools. But first, a Christmas break and a road trip to the "Farm".
See you next year!
