From when I first started Friday Feet in 2011. 

This doormat is pretty ratty now, but the slippers are still my favorite.

Too much KoKo? 07-28-16

You'll need to be patient with me.  KoKo is just so darn cute.  And when he curls up into a little ball I wonder where the rest of him went.  His favorite place is between my feet while I am at the computer.  But he discovered this stack of quilts which suits him fine.  He has this new friend, Ducky, who is a pillow I've had for decades.  One side is plain, the other is from an old "cutter" quilt. Seems to fit KoKo quite well.

 

Wednesday night he arranged it this way.

Tonight he has flipped it and butted  up against it.

He knows how to get comfortable.

A new home for KoKo 07-26-16

I'm going to have a fur-baby permanently.  KoKo and Froggie are going to come live with me and I am thrilled.  There will be problems to work out, but I think I can make it work with the help of people who will be willing to take care of him when I travel or will be gone for an entire day. Nancy will take him sometimes, so she will still get some KoKo loving.  While she and I are both out of town for four weeks a nice lady in Placentia will take care of him.

Revisiting a 2004 Ruth McDowell quilt 07-24-16

I think this is one of Ruth's happiest quilts.  Baron von Ruffhausen, "Harvey", a Bernese Mountain dog, belonged to Ruth's daughter Leah.  Ruth used the bright, happy Marimekko prints in the background because she felt that they indicated Harvey's happy, mischievous personality.  Harvey has gone over the rainbow bridge, but Ruth has one of his relatives, Sepia, from the same breeder.

"Baron Von Ruffhausen" Ruth B. McDowell 2004 35"W x 45"L Commercial fabrics.

Machine pieced and quilted.

Notice those cute toes!   I previously posted this quilt on February 1, 2009.
