Good Morning friends! Welcome new friends! I am so glad you stopped by today. It is Mabel's 4th birthday! ♥ She is recovered from this last horrible bout of disc pain. We hope and pray that she stays pain free for a long time now.
I wanted to share with you the wall quilt I made of her two years ago.
I saw a quilt like this three years ago on the internet. Not from a pattern. Made from a poodle lover like me. I have tried and tried to find it again, and cannot.
So I used my book,
How To Make An Amish Quilt by Rachel and Kenneth Pellman. I call it Amish Mabel In A Square. I used the Diamond in a Square pattern from the book. I used plain colors (my favorites, pink and purple) as the Amish would. However, I am guessing they have never added a toy poodle in the center of a quilt!! ;)
This hangs in our front room. =) The quilting isn't the best, but I am very happy with it. It is the best that I can do.
Jo asked me to show a picture of all the poodles I have stitched. I believe this is all of them. I may have missed one, I don't think so though.
The collection will grow of course. ;) I always find another poodle somewhere and then HAVE to stitch it. Gotta say, the French Knot Poodle is probably still my favorite.
**EDIT** Yep, I forgot one. And I just stitched it too!! Geesh! Here it is.
Ready for Palm Sunday? We are!
But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
Have a fabulous weekend friends!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Many happy returns, Mabel. Vickie, you've made some wonderful poodle portraits, that quilt in particular is gorgeous.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MABEL. I hope you have the happiest day today.
I love all you made, Vickie, but the pillow is my favorite. All the different poodles in your house. Thank you for sharing them with us. Hmmm your work would make a nice post on another blog, too. I won't mention any names. LOL.
Hope you have a Happy Easter,
