French Snowballs...
...all bound and labeled
I like this quilt a lot. But I have to say that I did not enjoy making it. It was a tedious and boring quilt to make. As you can see, it has about a gazillion tiny squares and triangles in it. That's why it took me several years of sporadic work to finish it. But it's done now, and I'm glad.

More Kibble Art
Sophie and Skipper wanted me to show you their latest work of kibble art. I swear, folks, this is exactly how I'm finding these images. I am not rearranging dog food to make the pictures. I told my Facebook followers that if I ever find a picture of Jesus or of Ronald Reagan (or Elvis, for that matter) in that bowl, I'm going to seriously freak out. Skipper is demanding that I buy him a beret and refer to him in the future as Master Skipper.
Linking up with Beverly's Pink Saturday blog post. She's got some really cool links today.

The finished quilt is wonderful! How large is it? I'm loving the kibble art. Our dog Chloe always leaves a blank canvas.

I love your quilt. What a great way to use up your French General fabric. I have a lot of it left over, but I can see this might be a long term quilt unless you are truly dedicated to get it done quick. I am sure you will enjoy it now that it is done. It is gorgeous.

All your work and time paid off. The quilt is gorgeous. I love all I see and want them. However, since I have many, old and new, I just touch and look now.

Lovely quilt. Sometimes we just have to persevere on some projects.

The quilt is absolutely fabulous. You should be very happy with the finish. Terrific colors too. The kibble messages are great & I bet you can hardly wait to "read" the bowl every day. What fun. Keep up the good work - all of you!

Applause, applause on finishing your delightful Snowball quilt, label and all!! I love it and have one very similar planned for the near future.
Your new Kibble art is too cute, too. Our dogs never left anything behind in their bowls. Will you print and frame these pictures for adorning the wall near their food bowls?
It's a joyously warm, sunny day here and I'm just in from my first walk of the year.
Hugs!

Love the quilt and its range of colors, soft, brighter, brightest. Sometimes our hardest quilt (or most boring to do), being a challenge to construct (or persevere), turns out to be a favorite. The kibble art is, well, artful and fun. My biggie grand dog just inhales the whole bowl at once, never leaves art or a scrap.

Your French Snowball quilt turned out fabulous. I remember how you were not thrilled with it when you were ripping all those seams out a while back. Now that it is finished I hope you can fall in love with it all over again because it is no longer a UFO, but a beautifully finished quilt (BFQ). I have a lot of the same French General collection, about 6 charm packs worth and I am thinking of using them to make a simple snowball quilt with alternating nine-path block. I have always liked how those two simple blocks look together in quilts. Hopefully, it will go together without too much of a struggle. I can only hope it turns out half as lovely as yours looks.
The dogs kibble art is a hoot. The pig is especially good and reminds me of my favorite book as a kid "Charlotte's Web" where Charlotte the spider spells out her words praising her friend the pigs best qualities to save him from being made into bacon. I wonder what Sophie & Skipper are trying to tell you with their art? So far it looks like they love pigs. Maybe they want you to buy a potbellied pig to live with you. Now if you do see Jesus or Elvis let your readers know before you alert the tabloids. The pig seems to good to just be an accident. Maybe the dogs a are artistically frustrated & the kibble was all they had to work with. Who knows what strange things lurk in the minds of dogs? Hope you don't get people knocking at your door wanting to see the kibble art now that you've gone public about it (tee hee).

Susan, you are a REAL finisher of projects!! You are still going strong with your UFOs even though we're not officially doing those projects on your sidebar any more. I miss it. I'm working on a Row-Along now, it's fun and certainly not as tedious as your Snowball quilt looks. But that Snowball is gorgeous! Great job finishing.
