Every spring my quilt guild has a retreat. We have been going to the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center in Mansfield, Georgia. It is such a nice place, and we have so much fun. Last year I made these paper-pieced barking dog blocks. I have since then completed the top, but have not quilted it. I have been stagnant in my quilting life for the last couple of years. However, I am coming out of it. I have been mostly doing some handwork, but have also been venturing down to my sewing studio to work on some maple leaf blocks. I have a gazillion of the blocks, I just need to make them into tops. Yes, tops plural. I have so many of these blocks. I think I can make three tops and one wall-hanging. I am not sure what to do with my barking dog blocks, but I would love to get it finished.Julie

I am so glad that you are back in to quilting again. Good on you Your quilt is very nice.
I love the black and white backgrounds on the blocks - they are so much fun! And welcome back to quilting and blogging!
like your dogs must have been a pain of a job though
The dogs were a pain to do!! Paper piecing is fun for about 5 minutes. LOL
Love the barking dogs quilt! I may have to make one for myself, to go along with my barking dog. Where did you get the pattern?
I saw a barking dog quilt at Red Hen Quilt Shop in Atlanta. I asked them about the pattern, and they handed me a photocopied pattern from Quilter's Newsletter Magazine for the dog. I will see if I can find the pattern and post the info.
I have been looking for this Barking Dog pattern for a long time. I have a lot of Quilters Newsletters, but havent found the pattern. Does anyone know where to get it?
Many, many thanks
