I made Emme a little quilt this weekend for riding in the car. When we first got Emme, I made a red polar fleece blanket to wrap her up in the cold car. We used that over the winter, but as spring arrived, it was just too hot in my lap. I rode a few times with nothing on my lap, but Emme's little toe nails are too sharp for that to be comfortable while I was wearing shorts. We get near something interesting and she is up, looking around and digging her little nails into the tops of my legs. I replaced the red blanket with one of Emme's white towels but I figured I could do better than that. In straightening up my sewing room recently, I came across a "cheater" wall panel and decided to use that as a car quilt. I layered, quilted, and bound it this weekend and it is Emme approved. It is more comfortable than the polar fleece, better looking than a white towel and just Emme sized.

Very lovely! I would like to make Chloe a quilt too and am collecting her PetSmart bandanas that she gets everytime she comes home from the groomer and will use that to supplement existing fabric I have stashed away to make my first quilt ... it'll probably take me about a year. So by the end of '08 it should be ready! I have lots more bandanas to collect - only two so far and they are half squares at that.
