Over the weekend a final serge of power sewing took place and we put the last stitches in Kayla and Spencer’s wedding quilt.
Here it is all ready to be ironed. As I was snapping a couple pictures, Ruby came over and started sniffing the quilt.
I figured it’s time she learn to pose on a quilt. Let’s just say this was the best picture…I was rolling around laughing at her it was so funny trying to get her to pose.
Then I put the camera away, went to answer the phone. When I got back she was posed so sweetly that I snapped another picture. I took the camera and went to write a blog post with the pictures I had. Then I went back and started to iron the quilt. I ironed the first row of blocks. Then I went to move the quilt but it was stuck….there in the folds of the quilts was…RUBY! She was all snuggled in. I moved the quilt top around enough so I could take another picture of Ruby sleeping in Kayla’s wedding quilt top.
On my agenda this week is to get this quilted..that means I need a backing and some binding AND Miss Ruby needs to quit being so cute that she distracts me from what I should be doing.

Love, love, love how this is coming out. It is going to be a wonderful gift.
I like how the colors in the quilt match Ruby’s coloring too!
She is gorgeous a learning early to pose with the quilts. Lol
Your quilt you made for the kids is absolutely beautiful – and of course you have the added bonus of having a superb model to show how comfy and cozy the quilt is!
A beautiful scrap quilt! Love it! And the quilty puppy is adorable!
isn’t it wonderful how they can fill our hearts, oh and the quilt is beautifut too
I am glad Ruby has excellent quilt instincts. Good girl, Ruby!
Happiness is a warm puppy!
(Nice, quilt, too. )
It doesn’t get much better than a gorgeous scrap quilt and a precious puppy does it? I’m thinking you had better not hold your breath on Ruby not being cute – I think you’re doomed! :)
That just melts my puppy loving heart! And the quilt is pretty fabulous!
Oh, isn’t that just the sweetest thing!!! And I really like the quilt too. :) You will have to include these pictures with the quilt when you give it to the kids. Ruby is proving a worthy successor to Gracie.
Beautiful quilt. Does my heart good to see you happy with Miss Ruby.
Precious! Ruby is a natural. Your quilt is fantastic. As a friend of mine says… ” life is good!” Fondly, b
Your quilt is beautiful and Ruby is so adorable!!!
I love scrap quilts and yours is a wonderful example of the perfect scrap quilt! Cute puppy dog as well!
BEAUTIFUL quilt but the puppy steals the show!
A lovely quilt and I think that it is going to be a treasured item. The pup is cute too. She is really loving to snuggle!
That quilt is gorgeous! What pattern is that? I think Miss Ruby is super adorable, she is a natural quilt model!
The pictures of Ruby with the quilt are adorable. Your quilt is great – I love those scrappy quilts. Thanks for sharing.
What a terrific quilt Jo! I’d have a hard time getting anything done with sweet Ruby around!!
Beautiful! Makes me want to make that quilt too. Ruby is adorable!
I enjoyed this post. I see you have some Jo Morton fabric in the quilt. Love to work with her fabric. Ruby is just too stinkin’ cute.
Love the quilt — it will be a wonderful quilt. What size is the square in the center of the star. You got some cute pictures of Ruby.
That last picture is the sweetest thing I have seen all year; truly.
And the quilt is just beautiful.Wonderful work, Jo. Congratulations once again.
Everything and everybody in your pictures was wonderful. I love the idea of a wedding quilt. And I love the idea of a Ruby.
I LOVE this quilt! I am madly trying to get all (okay, just some!) of my current projects completed so that I can make one of these!! Ruby is so sweet.
Super cute. Looks like Ruby will learn to pose on quilts just fine. The wedding quilt looks good too.
I love the quilt, and seeing the puppy warmed my heart!
