Yey! It's time for .....
I hope our entries put a smile on your face.
I hope our entries put a smile on your face.
I couldn't decide which picture to post for the "pet on a quilt" - if you've read earlier posts on my blog...you might remember our #1 pooch...Miss Magnolia Blossom (aka "Maggie") is not the most cooperative canine when the camera is aimed her way.
When she was a baby she thought the camera was 'cool'....
Even a few years later...I was sure we had a 'camera hound' on our paws....
What a Diva!
Perhaps the "Ruff"led collar was a bit too much.
Shortly thereafter she just absolutely refused to 'look' at the camera
One time I snuck up on her...but she was quick to react...
Well..Pffft!!!!! I guess she told ME!
Thankfully...before 'diva-dom' cluttered her head...she posed for the camera on a couple of quilts (then again...maybe she just needed something "pretty" to pose on...I never thought about that). These are our entries...we hope you'll give them your vote.
First up: "Dog on Quilt":
Yes it's our little Beach Babe behind those Foster Grants....soaking up the rays on a quilt of batik strips I called
"Maggie-rita-ville"

| #1 - MAGGIE-RITA-VILLE |
Our second entry (remember I told you I couldn't chose which one to enter)....is our little Birthday Girl (hmmm...besides pretty quilts...maybe Maggie just loves 'dressing up'). The quilt was made by a wonderful group of quilting friends for one of my "many many" birthdays.

| #2 - MAGGIE THE PARTY GIRL |
Now it's on to the next "Cat-agory"...
Inspired by "Miss Midnite"
- the ultimate 'Diva' (and Maggie's best friend...ya know...it wasn't until after Midnite arrived that Maggie became a diva herself...coincidence? I think not)
I designed this wall hanging with Midnite in mind. It never fails to muster a smile as it hangs on the door to a room often sought out by students and traveling customers in our quilt shop .... I'm sure you can guess which 'room' that is....

Thanks for stopping by - I hope you smiled...I can't wait to visit all the other entries and give them my vote.
A GREAT BIG THANKS to LILYPAD QUILTING for giving me the chance to share some of my furry 'kids' with you...this has been the most fun blog to write. To see who else came to the SHOW, click here!
Before I sign off...I promised a couple of our other kids I'd share their pictures too...you know how kids can be ....we don't need any of them getting all 'hissy' because their "big sisters" are getting all the attention. These are not contest entries (but don't tell the kids that).
Marvin is now almost 2yrs old (I think...omgosh...I've lost track of his age...what kind of mother am I?) - here he is as a young kittah...
This is Mia as a wee babe (she's now about 10 mos..where does the time go...it seems only yesterday I was mixing her formula)
Mia really REALLY wanted to be an entry...she simply couldn't understand why I didn't make her a quilt from all those fat quarters she loves to sleep on .... if only I could teach her to make her own.
MeOwHaHa
There's plenty more felines in the house but I'm stopping right here. (You know us 'moms'...we could go on with baby pictures FURever! Another time...you can be sure).
Again thanks for visiting. And as they say in the south....
"Hope ya'll come back real soon"
