Doghouse sample

This is the sample I made for the Book Club.  It's the Karen Montgomery companion pattern for the book club.  The pattern is called House and Home.  I'm not sure if I want to make the table runner or not so I just worked on the houses.  I used leftover Minick & Simpson fabrics.

A cute little top

This was the other half of a Karen Montgomery sample.  I plan to bind it with the striped fabric that I cut on the bias.

And it's a top

One of my goals for the weekend was to get the borders on this quilt.  And here it is!  It is nearly a square quilt, the length is about two inches shorter than the width.  I'm proud of it as it was a lot of work to get the dogs all facing the correct direction!  Now I need to piece some minky for the backing. . .

After this is quilted and bound, I plan to snuggle with it on the sofa-with my dog!
