I got to play a little with free form applique this week.  I have been reading about it lately and wanted to give it a try so I found this plain sweater and decided to embellish it with a little birdie.  I like it.  Now I want to try more.

During the Christmas holidays my friend Jackie Bourque, an amazing fabric artist, emailed me about a dog park quilt pattern she had seen and thought she would like to make.  Would I be interested.  WOULD I BE INTERESTED????  Are you kidding?

Seeing the pattern, a McKenna Ryan creation,  I couldn’t believe Jackie would want to do something so intense.  And to say it turned out amazing would be an understatement.

We piled together the fabrics we both had along with some we ordered and a few embellishments and Jackie went to work.  She showed me the first block when she finished it.  After that she asked if I wanted to see each as she finished them or wait for the finished quilt.  I am glad now I waited for the finished product because it is JUST EXTRAORDINARY!

I am going to share some photos with you here.  And tomorrow I will share the rest.  It is just too much to take in so I will break it into two posts.  (And I am sure I will share even more over the months to come because I can not believe how lucky I am to have this wonderful work of art.)

Please click on the photos so you can see larger versions of them.  You will see that every dog has about 20-30 pieces in them.  The eyes, the nose, the shadowing….all different little pieces of fabric!

Beautiful!  Amazing!  Ingenious!  Splendid!  Fascinating!  Charming!   I don’t have enough words to describe this quilt.  I hope to have it on display somewhere soon so that you may come and see the amazing quilting skills of Jackie Bourque.  She is a brilliant fabric artist and a wonderful friend.  Thanks Jackie for such a beautiful piece of art. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!
