woof! woof!
If you were born in 2006, 1994, 1982, 1970, 1958, 1942, etc, this is your year.
Here is a darling foundation pieced dog to celebrate the season. He is a very old pattern, which I found and ripped out from the November 1995 issue of Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine! At the time, I really didn’t quite understand foundation piecing and I lived in Shanghai China so there was no one to ask. The pattern is by Helen Giddens.
I think he needs a bigger googly eye, but this was the only size I had for him. I don’t know if this pattern is copyrighted and I have not been able to find out about that. If you are interested in having a copy of him, let me know in the comments.
Go out and have a yummy Chinese dinner tonight, even if you aren’t a dog. ;-D
Love the dog! If only I quilted…

I think weaving should be next on your list. You could use all your funky fibers easily. I belonged to a weaving guild long, long ago with my mother. There was a fabulous old lady (I hope to be her in a few years) who wove the most interesting things. She gave me the idea to weave window shades. I used all sorts of pretty colored cottons and wove thin dowels between them! In another I used newspapers. They were wonderful.

That’s really cute! It pays to keep every magazine you ever got . . .

To some degree… We have moved so much and magazines are heavy. So I rip pages out. Quilting changes, but not that much so it is good to save patterns you like. I keep thinking that I should modify that pattern to make it a cat. ;-D
