“Snow Buddies” formerly known as “the dogs quilt” is finally finished! It measures 48 x 48″.<\/p>\n

\"SnowBuddies\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quilting it took a long time due to the size of it and the density of the stitching. These are my dogs, a Komondor, 145 lbs and a Shepard mix, 165 lbs!<\/p>\n

\"SnowBudDet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I took the photo several years ago and have wanted for some time to make it into an art quilt.\u00a0\u00a0 Komondors are a fairly rare breed and it is not easy to find them in art so I was especially interested in doing this for a special exhibit that will take place at International Quilt Festival in Houston in the fall.<\/p>\n

For those of you who are not quilters, my work is entirely pieced by machine from bits of commercially printed or hand dyed fabrics and then machine quilted.I love the search for just the right fabric to portray my vision.<\/p>\n

\"Komface\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Koms are always white and are usually shown with long cords to the ground so they resemble a big rag mop. I don’t show this one so I keep his cords cut back so as to lessen the amount of stuff he can collect outside.\u00a0 Still he can bring in a lot of trash as he loves to roll in leaves and dirt.\u00a0 They both have huge feet and I dread mud season!<\/p>\n

The Kaw Valley Quilt Guild met yesterday and I learned that my quilt “The Merchant’s House” won First Place in the Viewer’s Choice voting in the show last weekend.<\/p>\n
