I collected these charms during another Kate Spain swap sponsored by Michelle of Crayon Box Studio. It makes for the perfect lap size quilt measuring 37" x 51". It was a quick finish this week and another one I can check off my Winter Sewing list.
So, with it's pantograph of Angels throughout...
...and soft minky backing...
Jackson and I will use it to cuddle up under as we settle down to watch TV each winter evening.
For, no matter the conditions. or how long the walk, he is ethusiastically at my side...my loyal companion. I got him as my empty nest puppy and my buddy he has been ever since.
I know many of you have studio pets too and feel the same way about them as I do him.
Sometimes we rescue them, but more times than not, it has been my experience that they actually end up rescuing us don't they. I count my blessings for the Guardian Angel I have in Jackson...and remind myself of this often especially when he acts all Jack Russell crazy!
PS: You do know all dogs go to heaven right! Just checking.
It's very pretty. All of those colours go together so nicely.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect quilt for you and Jackson to snuggle under! Have a wonderful Christmas, Val!
ReplyDeleteOur two dogs were empty nest dogs too. It's certainly an awesome time of your life to commit to a new pet. Like you my angels are always watching over me 😀😀
ReplyDeleteSuch a cheerful and cuddly quilt! I hope you and Jackson have many pleasant evenings cuddled up together.
ReplyDeletelooks like you are having a white Christmas, have a lovely time snuggled under your lap quilt
ReplyDeleteLovely snowy scene and that colorful quilt looks great against the snow. Enjoy your Christmas with Jackson by your side.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt! I agree with you about our little guardian angels. Best little friends you could ask for. Merry Christmas! Hugs,
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Val!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, gorgeous quilt, and love the pantograph!
ReplyDeleteLovely post. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOh how very pretty! And you have snow as a quilt backdrop - bliss :)
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty patchwork, and the photos and stories of Jackson! A Jack Russell lives behind us, and I sure enjoy seeing him when I get the chance. So fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt, love that little fuzzbutt too.
ReplyDeleteIsn't patchwork great? It made a bright and pretty quilt. It just shouts of warm and cozy. However, those photos are. amazing. The snow really enhances the colors. Great, great way to show a quilt. Best pics of the year!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! Looks so cozy! Jackson is a lucky fellow if you ask me!
ReplyDeleteI have a little Jackson too Val and understand exactly how you feel about your guardian angel. And yes, they more often rescue us and not the other way around, LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty and cozy and cheerful quilt! I am glad you are keeping it for cuddling time. It made me laugh that you photographed it laying in the middle of the road... but that is actually a a very fun shot.
You have some of the most fun pantographs. This quilt looks so cuddly.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of you and Jackson snuggled with this pretty quilt in the evenings!
ReplyDeleteTotal sweetness!!!! And I am a big Kate Spain fan too....enjoy your winter sewing and snuggles! Happy New Year!!!
ReplyDeleteJackson is going to really enjoy your pretty Kate Spain quilt after walking in that snow and ice. Aren't empty nest pets just the best? My little Cotton (a Maltese) has kept me company and sane for 14 years. So, yes, they do end up rescuing us. Have a great new year!
