ReplyDeleteDitto! Love this and need to make some of my own.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute dogs! You are so creative--I love to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteWow, it sounds like life is in a bit of a transition right now; and I hope sewing/quilting is relaxing and therapeutic for you!
ReplyDeleteHi Lorna! I'm so happy to see your dogs! They look super cute and I can't wait to see more of them and to make many! x Teje

Yes kids grew up! 16!!!! What a sweet age, hope she will be a happy teener.
ReplyDeleteYou have your own signature with blocks. These dogs are typical 'SewFreshQuilts' of 'Lorna'. Lovely.
These dogs are gorgeous - will there be a pattern available? Linking up for the first time today!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to your daughter in her first job and driving! What an exciting time for her! The dog blocks are absolutely adorable!! Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteLove your dogs! toooo stinkin' cute!
ReplyDeleteScary how fast they grow up, isn't it? My oldest turned 13 this year...how is that even possible??
ReplyDeleteYour little dogs are so cute, especially the blue one!
The kids really start to feel older once they get that first job don't they. Love those puppies.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I can't wait for this pattern to become available!
ReplyDeleteYay dogs, I'm always looking for dog patterns for dog rescue fund raisers. Of course I still haven't finished my elephants....
ReplyDeleteI love them! Smiled the minute i saw this in my feedly summary!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday to DD, so many changes in her life, job & driving - good luck to her and be safe.
ReplyDeleteThese dogs are so cute!
ReplyDeleteyour dogs are sooo cute. I especially love the blue one.
ReplyDeleteDo you use a special pen to mark on your quilts? Date, to whom, etc.
What have you found to be the best one that stays on the fabric with repeated washings?
I would like to do this with the quilt I made for our sons wedding but do not want to just buy any pen and find out it doesn't last or worse yet it smears or runs after already on the quilt. I appreciate all the help you can give me. Thanks in advance. quilting dash lady at Comcast dot net
These dogs are my favorite blocks of yours yet! So many darling possibilities with each block. :)
ReplyDeleteLorna, this is so adorable! I have cornish Rex kitty boys (see my old blog) they have big ears and I could make this into a cornish kitty block. hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI love it, and I love dogs too! This is such a sweet pattern!
liven the dogs!
ReplyDeleteI love those little doggies! So cute! It is hard thinking about our little girls growing up! I can say, they always come home to momma! Not to freak you out...but wait until she decides to move out...now that is hard!!
ReplyDeleteBwahaha - I'm going to be singing that "who let the dogs out" song all day now (thanks). My link-up this week is about my first charm swap - I'm pretty excited to be participating in one! ...I can't imagine 16. My son is four and starting preschool...breaking my heart!
ReplyDeleteAck! That blue dog with the spot on his eye! So cute. And I'm NOT a dog person! Thanks as always for your great link-up, Lorna!
ReplyDeleteThey grow up way too quickly, Lorna!!! Enjoy your time with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteadorable dog blocks, Lorna! And even though my son is only 11, I still feel like time with him is flying by!

I love the dog blocks! Adorable! I am a dog person though I don't have any living with me anymore. Such cute blocks.
ReplyDeleteWow 16, what a big stepping stone! Love the puppies. Very cute :) Good luck with her new job and the driving lessons.
ReplyDeleteVery cute dogs!!

Another comment to say hope you have the dog block available for purchase one day. That dog looks just like my daughter's boston terrier/lab mix she rescued four years ago (in reality the dog rescued her). I'd love to make a pillow for her an Maggie from your block pattern.
ReplyDeleteLove the dog blocks!
ReplyDeleteLove the dog blocks!
ReplyDeleteWell, from 16 to gone is a really fast move, but then again, it might be easier for me to say that since both of mine are still so little.
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable block... I'd best not leave this page open where my little guys could spot it... they'd be pestering me without end until I made them one too.
Enjoy her! Soon she will be gone!
ReplyDeleteLove the dog blocks, can't wait for the pattern!
Oh! Dogs are up next? Super cute.... lovin' the scruffs!
ReplyDeleteI love the dog with the spot over his eye. Both are very cute blocks!
ReplyDeletewhat a great designer! the dogs are too cute

I am going to have to call that last blue block Cooper. You'll see why if you scroll down to the bottom of my Barn Dance post. It's the one I linked up today. I am will be making that block the moment I get a breather. Happy Birthday to your daughter! Drivers Ed is the best. I can't believe parents skip it when it is optional. We got an insurance discount that paid for it in less than three years. My sons were prepped and ready to hit the road the day they got their licenses, which is 16 here if you take DE.Thanks a bunch!
ReplyDeleteThese are so very sweet! This will be a hit in your pattern store! Well done! Congrats to your girl! xx
ReplyDeletePretty adorable Lorna! You have another winner on your hands!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought you couldn't surprise me with yet another cute animal....yet you have done it again. Wow!!!
ReplyDeleteHang in there, mom! Are you going to go on some practice drives with your daughter? I love the dogs!! Especially the one with the spot on it's eye, so adorable.
ReplyDeleteVery cute pups. I especially like the one with the blue eye patch, he's whimsical. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely doggies Lorna! I can't believe you would have a 16 year old....
ReplyDeleteGreat dogs Lorna! You sure are on a roll with these animals. You do an awesome job :)
ReplyDeleteLorna, what cute little dogs. I hope you will have the pattern. Your blog always makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteLove your work.
Time sure does fly, doesn't it? Congrats on the job Erin! =) The dogs are adorable. I love their "masks". As always, thanks for the linky party.
