Gifts for Julie and Jim

I made this over-sized lap quilt for my friend Julie at work. The photo looks kind of naked without my favorite model LarryPug on it.
Julie wanted her quilt to be lightweight, so I opted not to use any batting and put yummy leopard print minkee on the back for something soft to cuddle with.
There are lots of wonderful animal prints in Julie's quilt. I have collected them for years. Julie's favorite fabric is the tiger stripes.
This quilt was beautifully machine quilted by my friend Val who blogs at Val's Quilting Studio.
Check out my new leopard print sneakers!
I made this Star Trek fleece blanket for my friend Jim. Luckily LarryPug was available to model. Jim loves his new throw and is buying a new leather couch to go with it! That's the ultimate compliment!
Linking up on Tuesday to Freemotion by the River and Scraptastic Tuesday. Linking up on Wednesday to Let's Bee Social. Linking up on Friday to Confessions of a Fabric Addict, WIPs Be Gone, Finished or Not Friday, Crazy Mom Quilts, Fabric Frenzy Friday, and TGIFF. Thanks for visiting!

Pugs and kisses,
Nancy
