Animals in Quilts

My daughter Michelle went with us to the quilt show in Paducah and then to Nashville.  I learned something new about her that I didn't know before - she doesn't like animals or people on quilts!  She is a faithful reader of my blog, so as a favor to her I grouped all of the animal quilts together and tomorrow I will group the people quilts - so she can skip two days of blog reading - haha!  Although.... she does have a thing for sheep....

Moms and Babes - a group quilt by The Village Quilters from London, TN, quilted by Cathy Witt

Oops!  This quilt has a person and an animal!

Dear My Dog

You have to love this quilt - Ally's Apps by Pauline Salzman, Florida

If your dog had a cell phone, would these apps be on it?

Saw Who Owl by Yvette Sullivan, Canada

These quilts were both made by Masanobu Miyama, from Japan.  One is a large wall quilt (above) and the other - Animal Kingdom of Nagano - was in the miniature category!  When I saw the miniature, which is behind a glass case, hence the light reflections, I thought it looked SO familiar.  Then I realized I'd just seen a larger version and had to go take another look!
