Clooney – Three Birds with one Quilt
Hi There,
I do love, when I can combine tasks. It’s so satisfying to make something and ticking off several points on my to-do-list.
The owner of this quilt did not want to sit still for the photo, despite treats…
Yes, gasp!, I made the quilt for my dog, and it came like this:
When my previous dog turned 15 years, I realised, she wouldn’t be with me for much longer and also, that I wanted her to ‘go’ with dignity. So I made her a quilt, into which she could be wrapped for her last journey. She ended up using the quilt on her bedding for only 3 weeks, before she was gone.
So, when I got a new dog at the end of 2023, I knew I’d make him a quilt early on, so that it would be truly ‘his’ and a comfort.
At the same time my guild sent out a challenge to design/make a quilt inspired by a greeting card (I did not win the challenge, but hey what?). I combined the two uses.
So, this is why Clooney has now an elaborate quilt for himself. And unless he rips it beyond repair (unlikely), he’s not getting another one! 😊
Ha, but I topped that with a third use, when I submitted the pattern to the Make Modern Magazine,
and lo & behold, they liked it and it was published in issue 62.
Take care,
Rita
