Good Dogs Too Panel plus ........

 I was recently inspired to make the Good Dogs Too panel into a lap quilt.  I would have preferred a rectangle shape,  but  square it is ............ 52 x 52.

It is quilted with the serpentine design in a cross hatch,  just to keep it simple.  I didnt have the energy to FMQ around all those elements.  It is backed with a fabric that says "sisters forever"  in purples and navy.  Since it is not backed with a fleece,  I used a puffy poly batt in between.  


Here is the back .................


I've been taking photos with my IPhone but when i enlarge them,  they are a bit fuzzy.  Maybe I should go back to using the camera and see if I can improve on the details.

In the meantime,  I'm joining these wonderful linky parties this week.  Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing this week.

Machine Quilting With Rulers QAL

 This project is a ruler quilt along with Angela Walters.  It is worked on a pre-printed panel.  I added a couple borders and a flange for a final measurement of  58 x 72.  I enjoy these challenges that have weekly progress.  You can find all the info for this project  at

Here is my finished quilt.  I used a poly batting, Glide threads on top and bottom line thread in the bobbin.


Here is a photo of the back, it is a gray and white print.  I usually love seeing the back of the quilt to see the whole picture of the quilting,  but it's not showing up very well.  It's still a cozy quilt to gift to someone special.


I'm joining these linky parties this week.  Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing today.

Tree of Life - October blocks

 Time to share a pic of October's blocks for my miniature Tree of Life project.  This project is led by Denise of  For The Love of Geese  website.  Don't let 'miniature' scare you, it was my choice to make it that size.  Denise is sharing the project in full size.

So,  here are my 7 blocks for October.



and since they look similar to the other blocks,  I will also share a pic of  August, September and October blocks together ............  just for fun.



Be sure to visit Denise  at   For the Love of Geese  to see who else has joined in to share this project and get the instructions for yourself.

Thanks so much for stopping by  and stay safe.
