Izz-A-Boo


"My little dog-
a heartbeat at my feet."
~Edith Wharton 


The IZZ-A-BOO quilt for my son,
my first free pieced adventure ever!

Nothing could be truer than this simple, sweet quote when I think of my wee Izzy. Always close, always underfoot. She doesn't see well but she feels with her whole heart. Total. Love. Bug.


I may or may not have jumped ahead of the Quilt-A-Long with the Gravity project so I'll not disclose where these pieces fit but when I pressed them I of course was tripping over the Boo...I'm always tripping over that girl. The pieces were labeled B, F, F.

Yah...she's my "BFF"

Best. Friend. Forever.

  2. Awwwww. There's nothing like the unconditional love of a dog. And Izzy boo clearly adores her Mummy.

  6. I've caught Little Black Cat in/on my fabric more than once and he loves laying *exactly* where I'm working. Lol. My ol' girl Belle (Jack Russell Terrier) is blind and bumping into stuff, but she loves a good cuddle too. :) Gotta love the furballs!
