Pup & Duckies


When I make a baby quilt I always use the leftover fabric to make a coordinating mini quilt, which I attach to the paws of a stuffed animal. I include these with the baby quilt. The puppy and mini quilt above mark the first time I've sold these separately. One of my steady customers requested it for a baby shower gift. The mom-to-be likes duckies, and the gift-giver loves dogs (she has FOUR yellow Labs!) So I used a rubber ducky print for the stars, and the puppy to hold the quilt. I think I'll make more mini quilts for the shop, just to have a wider spread in the price range. Probably more table runners and placemats, too, for the same reason. Also, these smaller items will be easier than quilts to transport and display at craft shows.

Have A Cow!

This little cow was the perfect "baby buddy" for my latest quilt. The fabric is "Hungry Animal Alphabet" by Janet Frisch, and there's a cow in the "C" block. The buddy cow
has her own coordinating mini quilt. At baby showers it's always the
buddy who gets the oohs and ahhs! (You'll note that I still have to finish the binding.)
