Pets on Quilts Show

Hi y'all.  We are the current quilt dogs that assist here at Kinda Quilty.  OK, so assist may be a bit of an overstatement.  But today, we are finally having our way here and decided to join in the fun at the Pets on Quilts Show.

You see, we have a rule here at the house that basically says we are not to touch the quilts, quilt supplies, and anything quilting related in general.  But rules are made to be broken - right.  And what our dog owner doesn't know won't hurt her - right. 

OK, sure there may have been some incidents.  Like the time a previous quilt dog chewed up the entire stash of thread.  And there was that recent incident where my dalmatian cousin here jumped on our dog owner and grabbed the needle and thread from her hand.  Oh boy was that a sight to watch my dog owner chase my cousin and try to search that dalmatian's mouth for a large needle.  Ha, ha, I still kid my dog cousin bout that!

You see the dog owner thinks that we just sit around looking cute.  I bet she imagines that we mostly think about things like cats, squirrels, and other security threats.  But sometimes, I think about all those mini quilts hanging on the wall that look like such a perfect dog sized quilt - and we are not allowed to touch them!  Bummer!

So, we have to sneak on a quilt whenever we get the opportunity.  Like me on the tulip quilt.  My dog owner was standing on a ladder and I saw her with the camera.  I thought she wanted to take a picture of me, but I found out that she was trying to get a picture of a naked quilt.  (Naked Quilt = Quilt without a Dog).  I mean, like, who wants a picture of a naked quilt?  Am I right?

My cousin sneaks onto quilts as well, but she is just much faster than I am.  See that action photo shot.

Got to go now before the owner lady gets back.  We're gonna check out the other pets on parade and maybe even have a good laugh.. 

Happy Halloween - Blogtoberfest Day 31



Today is the last day of Blogtoberfest and its also Halloween.  Oh, I feel like a bad dog owner but I just couldn't resist dressing up quilt dog #2.  His costume I got on super clearance last year after Halloween for less than $1.  This is the only dog I have ever had that does not mind being dressed up.  Yes, I really think this one thinks he is human.

Oh by the way.......I did it! I manage to post a blog a day in October for Blogtoberfest.

Things I Have Learned From Participating in Blogtoberfest

1. Just try it, you may like it.  I found out about this on September 30th and even though I am new to blogging and didn't have 31 posts, I committed to the concept of blogging every day. 
2. Learned a new word - Op Shop
3. Having made a commitment forced me to get creative with blogs and plan them for the month (especially when I went on vacation and was away from my PC for a week)
4. Learned all about using Blogger and other techie things
5. Joined in memes and Linkys on other blogs
6. Had a great time meeting new bloggers and checking out other blogs with amazement at the creativity that's out there 

Wordless Wednesday - Blogtoberfest Day #5

Tulip top completed!

The tulip blocks are together and I really cant say enough about how much I like this top.  My mom, who wont even look at an art quilt or a modern quilt, wants this quilt.  I am not sure if she will get this one or another quilt, but I believe that I will be making more of this pattern.  My mom is the quilt photographer and now I realize just how hard it is to get a decent quilt picture.

All my other quilt dogs never seemed to touch a quilt.  I have many pictures of them sitting beside a quilt with just their nose laying on a corner of a quilt.  This new quilt dog, however, was just walking through the living room after eating his dinner and stopped to pose on the tulips.  Though when caught, he didn't move away from the quilt he just rolled over and played dead.
