scottie dogs



Hi all, just a quick post of a quilt I finished at the start of the week, but it has now gone home to a happy owner.


Susan's mother wanted this quilt, so she happily made it for her, then sent it to me to quilt.
I thought the cross hatching would suit the traditional feel to the quilt, more straight lines on the borders with some stipple.





I am enjoying our lavender hedge when I sit outside for coffee or lunch, the bees & bumble bee's love it too!

  1. Oooh! Wow! I like your doggies. So neatly done.
    They look like happy old buggers.

    Today I posted a blog on quilted cushions on my blog. And last week I had one on a "côte d'azur" quilt: http://homeiswherethedachshundis.blogspot.be/2013/06/cote-dazur-quilt.html

    Have a nice weekend!

  4. Susan's Scottie dogs are so cute and I love the tartan look. The cross-hatching sets them off well!

  7. What a lovely quilt Leeanne, and your quilting brings those puppies to life. It really is the winterless North - my lavender is looking well past flowering, and in need of a good hack back. Enjoy your sunshine!
