Monday Happenings 28 In My Studio
I have been working on a quilt that I’ll be sharing next week as part of the Timeless Traditions Blog Hop with Island Batik. I am using a beautiful new collection called Garden Gate and I can’t wait to share it with you.
Here is a little sneak peek of my quilt before I quilted it. Beautiful fabrics!

Rusty turns 10
We adopted Rusty 3 years ago around Thanksgiving and I always think of that as his birthday but I received an email from Rusty’s vet wishing him a happy birthday on the first. That is pretty special.
Everyone who meets him falls in love with him, he is so sweet.
Studio Cleanup
Over the weekend I took some time to clean up my studio and rearrange some things. This side of the room actually looks more like a cardmaking studio instead of a quilting studio.
When I don’t have a quilt on the longarm, it serves as a catch-all. I love my big studio, especially having a walkout so Rusty and I can sit outside and enjoy the fall weather.
Monarch Sofa Quilt
I thought I would share this cute sofa quilt that I made for Rusty. He loves this couch and then I made him some matching pillows. Doesn’t every dog deserve his own pillow?

Happy birthday to Rusty! Where have those years gone? I remember when you first got him.
Those are such pretty fabrics in your sneak peek. Can’t wait to see it finished.
You have so much lovely space in your studio.
Happy Birthday Rusty. You are one lucky dog.
Love your spacious studio, so well planned.
Happy Birthday Rusty, you so deserve a treat or two, and very best wishes flying north from down here in New Zealand.

Happy Birthday Rusty! Dogs are so much a part of our lives – the best part – unless you are my Husky who sheds all year long adding texture to everything! Your Quilts are always so beautiful, the vibrant colors, the eye catching patterns! Thanks so much for sharing all this!
Happy Birthday, Rusty! So cute!
Love the new quilt you are working on. I look forward to seeing the quilt next week when you share the finishing.
I have all the blocks (30) made for a queen size Stacks quilt using Field of Flowers by Katherine Watson for Moda. Now’s the hard part in putting the blocks so they look the best before sewing together.
