This evening I finally finished the borders on my Plaids quilt top. It is a smaller top, baby size. I am thinking in all of the muslin blocks I am going to hand quilt an animal. Maybe a bear in one, an elk in another, then a moose. One block may have a cabin in it. Just make it a real "woodsy" feel. I have the binding all ready for it and it is leftover plaids that I am going to join in 6" increments. That will give it a real scrappy look I think. Any thoughts on that???
Today also saw me getting my new Keepsake Quilting catalog! It is like Christmas when I get these! I sat down and immediately ordered almost $100.00 worth of fabrics to make a quilt for my first grandbaby. We do not have one on the way yet, but Nicole and Bryan have decided to start working on a family. So, in anticipation of a new grandson, I am going to make a cute pirate quilt. I did check with the kids and they said they would decorate in a pirate theme if they have a boy. I also ordered the cutest pattern to make a penguin quilt. Still not sure when I am going to have time for that, but it may be something I work on occassionally when I am in a "funk".
I had to attach the most adorable picture of my buddy, Barney. Barney is my Beagle. He is just over 2 years old and is a total lap dog. He keeps me warm when I need it and snuggles like no other! He is spoiled rotten and I love it that way!
Anyway... need to get to bed and see if I can kick this cold I have had for a week now. I am so tired from not sleeping because of coughing and sneezing. I honestly did not know that one little nose could make so much snot! YUCK! I gross myself out!
Have a great day. I hope you all get to quilt to your hearts content.

Plaid top is looking so nice. I have my Keepsake Quilting catalog here on the desk with a Post-it note of my 'wish list'. Love to open my mailbox and find this little book. :)
Thnak you for visiting my blog!
You've made a lovey plaid! Ninepatch is so suitable for any project. Fourpatch was actually the first thing I learned on my first quilting course 8 years ago. You have a very nice blog with a lot of inspiring photos. I'll be back for sure for more inspiration later on. Wish you a very nice weekend.
Woww a great job Denise, I find it very beautiful!!! You have worked well indeed, believes me :))))

The plaid top looks very nice. I think you have a great plan for the quilting.
Nice to meet you Denise! And thanks for your comments on my blog. I love your plaid nine-patch quilt. I can't wait to see it finished with all the quilted animals. That will be adorable.
By the way, Barney is just adorable too!
The plaid quilt looks really nice and I like very much your idea of quilting animals in it and making a scrappy binding. I have made a few myself and I like them each time.
