Foster Dog #5 - Shadow

My sister & I foster dogs from Northern Rivers Animal Services (NRAS), who rescue and rehome dogs and cats. We've fostered four dogs previously, and just got our 5th foster last Friday night. Her name is Shadow and she's about 6 months old. She and Honey are getting along fabulously. Shadow is available for adoption and her profile can be viewed at http://www.petrescue.com.au/view/55904.

New 'Jungle' Quilt

I've started work on a new baby quilt. It's based around a great jungle fabric that I bought, with a green/yellow/blue colour scheme. I'm hoping to have the blocks sewn together by the weekend - I'll see how I go....

Quilt 1 - Blue Sampler

Here are some shots of the first quilt I ever made. I was living in Brisbane and signed up at Kedron Sewing Centre (since closed) for a quilting class in 2004. I chose the blue and white colour scheme, and Elizabeth from the shop helped me choose the fabrics. Doing a sampler as a first quilt was a great learning experience, and I really love the end result.

Have only had time this morning to update my title heading. First photos of quilts will be posted tomorrow...

First Posting

I've been thinking about this for a while, but have decided to go ahead and set up my own blog. I've enjoyed following other blogs (mostly about quilting) and I'm joining in.

My post will mainly be about my favourite hobby (quilting) but will hopefully also have features on pets and foster pets.

I'll be back tomorrow with some photos of my quilts.
