Pets on Quilts...........

If you have read my blog for any length of time, you know I am crazy about my babies.

You also may be a fan of  Lily Pad Quilting and have seen the 


Well, I would be remiss if I didn't share one of my most favorite photos of Sophia Annabella on some of the Quilts of Valor we ALL were able to make from last year's QOV block drive I hosted.


So, here is my entry in the "Dog or Pup on Quilt" category to the 




Here Sophia proudly protects the Quilts of Valor we all worked hard to make.
She also salutes all of the veterans who have helped shape our great nation.
THANK YOU to ALL VETERANS!


What about Gracie Lu and Valentino?
Well, they get a little camera shy at times.
Sophia is the model of my little herd.

Please go to: THIS LINK
to see all of the entries in this year's show.
You may even like to add your own entry?

I have to tell you all, I had a WONDERFUL time in Glen Carbon, IL with the Ties, Needle & Thread guild!  You can read more about that visit in an upcoming post!  

Thanks for visiting!
Thanks for all of the encouragement!

    Sophie Annabelle is very photogenic. I'm sure she really enjoys cuddling on your quilts along with the two shyer babies.

    Sophia is beautiful, how nice to have a model in the bunch, most of us chase, stalk and bribe to get pictures no where near as nice :)

    Aww, what a good girl! QOV quilts deserve to be protected by someone who cares. Also, I stalked your blog and saw the pillowcase your nephew made, he did fantastic! I've heard your name on QuiltCam before, it's nice to finally "meet" you. You do some amazing work!
