Is it raining cats and dogs?

This week it has been raining off and on all week.  I am actually happy about this.  Evidently we didn't have a lot of water this year so our irrigation water got turned off a little early.  With the rain, I didn't have to worry about some of my plants that still needed some watering.  Then, when it wasn't raining, we have had absolutely gorgeous fall days.  Just gorgeous! 

Anyway, my Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting came in the mail today, and these two quilts caught my eye. 

They are Bonus Quilts online.  I have noticed that many of the quilt magazines have been adding extra patterns to their websites.  Anyway, I am not really an animal person, but I know lots of people are.  While I don't love cats and dogs, I can appreciate a good quilt.  These are some great quilts! 


I like the two cats that are sideways.  You can see one of them on the picture.  The dogs ears are dimensional.  I don't know what's up with the turquoise in the corners.  It seems a little bright, but it probably isn't too bad on the actual quilt.

Have a good weekend!

  1. Those quilts are cute! I love how the dogs are all wide eyed and ready to please, and the cats look totally bored with the whole thing and ready to take a nap. Just like real dogs and cats!

    Thanks for the link!

  7. I just got my magazine, too, and the puppy quilt was my favorite part. My 21 month daughter is obsessed with all things "puppy" and this may be one I need to make for her!

  10. And did you notice the mice? I, too, had already printed out the patterns. I'm thinking about combining cats and dogs, since we now have both.

  13. The designer made an owls quilt, too - I'm sure you can get it straight from her. The shop is Starry Night Hollow, in Encinitas, CA. (As for the hunks on her calendar, I've *never* seen them in the store...though she is about 1 mile from from the ocean...)
