3 More Days!!!!

 He found a box on the shelf and thought it might be nice to just sit in the sun and think about his quilt that will  appear in The Quilt Pattern Magazine at http://www.quiltpatternmagazine.com on March 1. It is only 3 more days and he is so excited. There is a lot of other good stuff in the magazine as well, so you better subscribe if you have not done so. But as far as he is concerned, his quilt is the best!!!!

5 more days!!!

Well, the shelf was just not that comfortable for him, so he chose to curl up in a cushy chair surrounded by dogs!
This is truly a PURRFECT SPOT! Anyway he is thinking that it is only 5 more days until he gets his quilt. It will be in The Quilt Pattern Magazine at http://www.quiltpatternmagazine.com along with other quilts, articles, tips, stories and new faces to see. However none will be like his, because it is his quilt!!!!

In the midst of the 10 day countdown, an unexpected surprise!


















In the midst of the 10 day countdown for the March issue of The Quilt Pattern Magazine at http://quiltpatternmagazine.com/   in which a new design of mine will appear, I found out that another quilt of mine is going to be on The Wednesday Quilt Show  at http://milo-designs.blogspot.com/  and I wanted to share. The name of the quilt is "Mr. & Mrs. Noah - Original Animal Disaster Planners". It is pieced as well as fusible applique. As with all my quilts, there is a story. As you may or may not know, I was a member of the Disaster Animal Response Team for The Humane Society of The United States http://hsus.org/ and I worked quite a few disasters in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and New Mexico. It was one of the most meaningful times of my life. As a result of my participation with that group, I wrote The CASEY Plan (Caring for Animals Safely in Emergencies during the Year) which can be found on my website at http://www.purrfectspots.com/  and it is a national program. Because of my experiences in search and resuce,  Animal Disaster Preparedness Education is a subject very near and dear to my heart and I have given seminars and workshops at different national conferences. I felt very strongly about sending a message through my quilt making and this is what evolved. I was in the process of making this when Hurricane Ivan was headed right for our area. We evacuated and of course I took all my quilt stuff with me. It was an awful hurricane and really hit Pensacola, FL  and surrounding areas very hard. We were very blessed as we had minimal damage. Anyway there you have the story of that quilt!

O, Lord, what a variety you have made! And in wisdom you have made them all! The earth is full of your riches.

Another one of my quilt patterns and how it started!

It all started with these little kitty pitchers in my guest room - all were gifts!! I kept looking at them and you can see what happened next! 
A cross stitch design depicting my little pitchers.
Then came a needlepoint canvas! Then a quilt, then another quilt  - only this time I used the method of Broderie Perse for the flowers!
This is the quilt with the technique of Broderie Perse Flowers. That simply means that I found a large flower print, cut the flowers out and appliqued them on my quilt. This was a method used in the middle 1800's when printed chintz fabrics were used to applique on squares.
Let me know what you think!
