I've got lots going on this week while I am at a retreat on Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho. Loving my time out so to speak to just get lots done on piecing projects.
Today is Furry Friday with the Island Batik Ambassadors and I'm sharing with you two adoptable furry friends.
This week’s edition is courtesy of Hancock’s of Paducah.

I blogged about making Kennel Quilts a few weeks ago here.
Here is a new Kennel Quilt with a brand new line called Fresh Pickins that will be released at market next month. I quilted it with Fantastico friend--thank you #Superiorthreads!
These are a fun way for anyone to use up scraps because these little kennel quilts are all only 12"×18", you can easily use up old leftover squares, orphan blocks, swap blocks, scraps, panels, just anything and then left over batting, flannel, and fleece to fill them.
When you make these kennel quilts to give to your local shelters or send them to shelters that need them, please consider the guidelines that TQPM has made so that you get the best possible kennel quilt for the pet they are giving them to.
Update on my retreat progress on many WIPs:
Here is a Beginning Paper Piecing sample that I got the binding on the front side and need to finish by hand.
A commission that will be all 'Texan' in attitude when I am done. Lots of fussy cutting on this one.
An Island Batik upcoming challenge project...piecing done! 5" squares are from Lake Life and the background is from Twilight Blush.
This month's IBA challenge-Adventurous Applique...top done using Aurifil thread to top stitch. Fabrics are from Seas the Day collection.
A future IBA challenge project with "Glowing Embers" collection.
This is a bit of a fixer from a shop hop in 2015. The fence ends in white instead of green now, and I'm thinking a green grass border might just finish it off.
Mitered symmetrical borders just give a quilt one more level of polish.
Sometimes it is fun to envision and create a group project all in a day. Here is my block in a bigger team project that was very spontaneous while we were here at retreat.
Linking up with Jennifer at Inquiring Quilter's WWL -Wednesday Wait Loss Program to show off my progress. Have a great weekend!
What an awesome group of projects! Can't wait to see them done, especially the IB projects. Love their batiks!
ReplyDeleteOMG. Those mitered corners are amazing.
