This quilt is of my babies. The three of them had to learn to live together and after much training and patience, they are family. They all love to play outside so this is my design of them in the backyard. 

For more info on this contest, please check out SewCalGal's blog here.
When the dog, Lucky, was introduced to the family, my large white cat, Tika (he is 32 inches long from nose to tip of tail) launched himself on top his back from across the hall. Then the little grey cat, Jada, tried to "save" Lucky - and all hell broke loose! My husband tried to introduce without me and lets just say it did not go well. 2 1/2 years later and now they are buddies! Well, as close as cats can get to a hyper Jack Russel Terrier!!
The large panel.

Quilt was hand quilted on a loom and I made a stencil of the three pets to do the edges.

  4. Your settings are as a no reply blogger. You may want to check the page I have on my blog, titled giveaways/contests, as I have some insights that may help you understand the implications, and how to change your settings.
    It essentially helps if you leave a comment on a blog, for the blogger to respond via email. And definitely important if you want to win giveaways/contests via blogs.
