It's called, Fairey Tales!
There are 20 adorable fairey tail blocks, such as Hansel and Gretel, Jack and Jill, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, and more! Each block is a work of art and they are all just adorable! Mom's block is Pinocchio and Geppetto and it's on the third row and all the way to the right! If you want to see it up close, click here! You can see all of the blocks up close and read about all of the quilters and the quilt block artists and the person who sews the blocks together and then quilts the whole thing. There are a lot of people who work on this project before it's all said and done! It's a lot of work but so well worth all of the efforts!
Make sure you click on the bonus quilt button too so you can see "For the Love of Chloe"! Susann Trandem did a fabulous job on the quilted wall hanging!
The quilt will be raffled off on October 4th at the Montgomery County Kennel Club dog show so if you are so inclined, and you'd love to have a shot at winning this quilt (and who wouldn't), please purchase tickets! All monies support Airedale rescue!
And guess what else?
Mom FINALLY at long last finished BOTH of her socks! We think she deserves a standing ovation at least! Geez, it's been forever, mom!
The other miracle is that they fit and they both look pretty much the same size!
And here's the exciting part! She started another pair!
Do you think there might be a chance that you'll finish this pair in 2010, mom?!Our buddy Emmitt is 13 years old today! Head on over to his blog and wish him a happy birthday and stick around for yummy meatloaf that Emmitt and his mom have been baking all week long for today! There will be food and music and games and FUN!
We're ready to pawty, Emmitt!
So until next time...................
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
some very talented people have been involved in the making of this quilt obviously. Your mu did well finishng those sock; you must be very proud of her. Maybe the next few pairs of socks she'll make are for you???
ReplyDeleteOur mom just loooooves the quilt! She's going to see if she can afford to buy some tickets. The socks look very nice and very warm and toasty! We're going over to see Emmitt now!

Hi Maggie & Mitch
ReplyDeleteOur mum just loves the quilt - even though we can't see any bassets!
She is certainly going to buy some tickets - of course we will be hoping she doesn't win.
Well it wouldn't be right would it - all those airedales!!!
We seem to be meeting so many too - we are worried our mum likes them so much!
We loved the socks too although we would need four - one for each paw.
Probably just as well humans only have two paws - think how long it would take your mom to knit the socks then......
love you lots
Martha & Bailey xxxx
That is a beautiful quilt - your mum did a splendid job! and on the socks as well! We'll head on over to see if we can buy a ticket!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if my mummy can knit socks? I love socks!!!!!

Good evening m & m
ReplyDeleteThe time of a wonderful Airedale kilt is considerable time.
And, the success of the kennel club is certain.
Immediately, it lives in blog of Emmitt and it lives in play.
While enjoying the weekend at the chicken party.
：D
from loved ume tyan
The quilt is gorgeous! Airedale moms are so talented. I'm glad your mom finished her other sock. Since they don't have fur, people need to cover up. Those socks look like they will keep her nice and warm.
ReplyDeleteYour friend,
Niamh
Crikey that quilt is pawesome. You know what?? One of D's most favourite stories when she was little was about Pinocchio & Old Geppetto, yep it's true.
ReplyDeleteYour mum's socks look great too.

Maggie and Mitch. The Airedale quilt is lovely (but then so is the subject matter) Your Mom's bock is fab!! Love the airedale puppet with his long nose- too funny. I Hope it manages to raise lots and lots of money. I'll send Mom over to see if I can buy a ticket.
ReplyDeleteMom's socks are great...Mom says she knows we know how she feels...they take forever. Turning the heel makes Mom all grrrrrrr!!. Lucky my Granny was one of the best at sock knitting so Mom has planty of pairs to wear with her wellies!!

Hi Maggie and Mitch,
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is booti-fully done! It has lots of interesting details and I bet your mom had spend lots of time working on it! You mom is amazing. She cooks delicious food, she's good with crafts and most importantlu, she love you.
Love,
Homer
Hey Guys,
ReplyDeleteThose socks may have taken years, even decades, to knit, but we bet that you could unravel, or otherwise destroy them in just a few minutes.
We can't even imagine how much work went into that quilt but we sure hope that it sells for lots of moola. We want all of you aviation dogs (Airdales) rescued and in good homes that feed you constantly and then take photographic evidence to post on blogs. Heck, just half of YOUR annual treat and goodies budget would probably be a record high bid for the quilt.

Oh my gosh! That quilt is AMAZiNG! We love it and hope it brings in lots and lots of money!
ReplyDeleteGotta go back and look at it again... that may tie the computer up for the rest of the evening! Wow!
Jake and Fergi (and Moma - she wants to learn to knit someday)
That quilt is beautiful! And the socks too! Your mom is so talented!

Hi Maggie and Mitch,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to stop by and thank you for sniffing around my place a while back. My secretary gets side tracked at times and I have to nip him in the butts to distract him long enough to help me bark.
That's a cool quilt. Bet it took a long time for your mum to quilt it. My mum works on quilts too. She's making one for a nephew right now. She is does something called paper piecing.
Those socks look really warm. Do they taste good? :o))

The quilt is amazing, my Mom wants it bad. The socks are really nice too. Did you get to chew on them and give them a shake. I am a sock thief in my house. We are going to wish Happy Birthday to Emmit.
ReplyDeletelicks and sniffs, Sasha
Congrats on finishing the socks - they look great!!! And that quilt is fantastic. Mom will be buying a chance or two. Have a great Sunday - we are resting up from all of our reunion activities and all of the food.

Your mom is so talented. That quilt is simply pawsome and your mom's square is wonderful and those socks...they are for dancing around in the house in...I am sure. They are pawsome too.
ReplyDeleteM and M
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous quilt. I loved looking at each square to learn about the quilter. What a great idea! So neat. Thanks for sharing
Now the socks. I can't believe it's the middle of July and you re wearing socks.

Wow - can't imagine how many hours went into that quilt - probably all under the watchful eyes of doggies that don't get how needles, thread & material can be so fascinating to humans....
ReplyDeleteAs far as the other project - talk about knocking our socks off!! So great you finished them just in time for the hottest month of the year... Makes my feet hot just thinking about them, but awesome job!!
That quilt it spectacular! And my Granny knits socks - at pretty much the same rate your Mom does.... She's been promising Dad a pair of socks for the last year and a half... Of course, she's been working on a sweater for my uncle for (literally) the last 6 years - good thing he hasn't put on any weight!

ReplyDeleteWoos, the OP Pack
Wow, that quilt is just GORGEOUS! Your Mom and the other talented quilters did a wonderful job! I think it will definitely raise lots and lots of money to help other doggies...*grins*

Scottie
What a fabulous quilt! Mom has always wanted to get an airedale - but she has the two of us and finds us a handful! So she is going to buy tickets in the raffle - she will do anything to help an airedale.

Take care and lots of licks
