YGRR Golden Stars

FA5EC21B-04F8-48A5-9291-460A8B9F2F5AI made this quilt to help support Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue of Hudson,MA. This will be the second one I’ve donated to this wonderful group. I got involved with them last year with a quilt I made that had incorporated a patch of fabric signed by singer/actor David Soul. That quilt was so well received that I decided to make another, although using a much different design. You can read all about the first quilt and how it came to be here on this blog known as the “YGRR Quilt”.

I found a great golden retriever fabric and used it in the center of the stars, the outer border and even had enough for the backing! The quilt measures a generous lap size 58” x 72”. I quilted this using black thread in a design of paw prints and hearts.  This one will be put up for bids on October 17,2020 when Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue holds their annual fundraiser auction. (New date: The 2020 Auction has been moved to Saturday October 30,2021.)You can find out more about this great organization and how they have been helping New England’s Homeless Goldens since 1985, by going to their web site at http://www.ygrr.org .

I’m a work from home long arm quilter/quiltmaker.I learned to sew on my Nana’s treadle machine when I was around 8 yrs old but didn’t start making quilts til much later in life.I’m mostly self taught and have been making quilts for 30+ years.I enjoy making scrappy quilts and love working with batiks,but I have a fondness for antique reproduction fabrics as well.I tend to work with more traditional style block patterns but I put my own spin on them with use of fabric choices.I also do some pantograph quilting for people who want their tops finished into quilts.
