    Hey Lori, don’t forget us in Aussie Land too! Where also here watching, practising and learning! We love what you do and I certainly don’t think Rosie and Ruby will ever forget you because you are the hand that feeds them! They will certainly forgive the occasional C. A. T. cat mentioned sewing project!!!! Hee hee he!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Such beautiful dogs!!

    They’re living the good life – who wouldn’t want to be laying on that beautiful hand made quilt? But something has upset them if they’re not talking. Australian Shepards are pretty active dogs so the snow has probably put them in the dol-drums. So – as humans do – they take it out on the ones they love.

    Oh yes – once they see you doing some doggy stitching they’ll feel better. They don’t want to think mom’s “going over to the dark side” – cats. It’s interesting how animals can’t speak English but they sure can get their point across. I’m happy – I’m unhappy, etc. Give them a tummy rub and a big squeeze from me.

  • oooooooh. this makes me want to design a PUG motif! thanks for the inspiration!!

  • Laura Phipps

    Love your dogs! That would be wonderful if you had a dog tutorial! A Westie one would be especially terrific!!

  • HILARIOUS!

  • I miss having a dog. What sweet faces on yours.

  • Terry Sheldon

    Ruby and Roxie are beautiful!

  • MelanieV

    HOW COULD YOU?!?!?! A CAT? Oh they might forgive with the right incentive, but they will NEVER forget.

  • Whiskers

    Such pretty girls. Good thing they haven’t taken a bite out of your —- parts. If this project requires little fabric trimmings, I can donate so they have wonderfully soft, fluffy beds. Good thing my feline just went out for his AM constitutional (we don’t have that white stuff six feet deep). He’s been pining for the green quilt mama promised before Christmas.

    What sweet dogs. I know they will forgive you.

  • wendy snyder

    Makes me happy to know another quilter with aussie dog love! I’ve been considering trying thread painting a picture of my older blue merle, Joey, but having a dog motif to quilt in the border sounds awesome!

  • I have sewn many of my practice FmQ exercises into a large mat, stuffed it with my quilting scraps, and will give it to a “grand”dog! Be fun to practice the cats and dogs…

  • Oh I can’t wait. Since joining in with the mystery quilt along you have given me so much confidence with my fmq – thank you. I too live with dogs – 2 leonbergers and a dachshund and have been thinking about some canine fmq motifs. Thanks so much for all of your inspiration. Happy sewing.

    Oh those girls are steamed! I see it. I love my kitty boys Miles and Pierro, and I fully understand this equal opportunity dilemma. Get to it, missie.
    Happy Monday.

  • LOL… What a riot Lori! Love those pictures of Ruby & Roxie!

  • Marta. south Georgia

    Glad to hear you have a plan… you need something and quick! Dog house is no place to be for a FMQ teacher ! And since it looks like R and R are in your house, they have the best deal !

    • Marta. south Georgia

      R & R are gorgeous animals…you are blessed…I made afleece bed blanket for Belle, our son’s Aussie, a few years ago. She is gone and we all still miss her.

  • You better do something quick! LOL! Are we making dog pillows!!! Dog blankie’s?! I’m sure it’ll be fun and cute no matter what it is. 🙂 Have a good Monday…we’ve had beautiful weather…old man winter showed up this morning though! Brrr!

  • Judy Buzby

    two very cute puppies….. mine is 13 years young and with this cold winter is not as active as usual. it is -10 degrees on Grand Island NY. this morning… another perfect day to work on my fmqing…. fire up the machine, and lets get going!

  • Linda Prial

    I can’t’ wait! I have a fourteen year old girl, (mix bread) that I would love to make a quilt for. And three grand dog for future project. Love your art!

    Love your dogs! I tried to use the link for Log Cabin quilting but kept returning to home page . Looked for something in tutorials. Was looking for some inspiration other then SITD.

  • Great thinking, Lori. It’s never good to let hurt feelings fester. I’m looking forward to your plan (and enjoying your posts and tutorials so much)!

  • Ohoh…. I think a dog-candy (Sorry, I don’t know the English word for German ‘Leckerli’) could help. ;P
    The cat looks fantastic and I would like to know how to quilt it.
    Greetings from Germany, Rike
