Scotty dog pattern

My Hubby passed away April 2016.  His name was Scott when I met him.  His family called him that because he had a sister named Kim and his first name is Tim so he was tired of running to his mom when she yelled for Kim so the family just started calling him Scott to make it easier.
I make quilts and as a rememberence to him I am using this "Scotty" dog to label my quilts now.

Applique butterfly quilt

 I made a king sized quilt for my bed.  I appliqued bird houses
 flowers
 and even butterflies
I also put some owls to watch over me during the night

Tropical bowling pin

 How much fun is this bowling pin?  Beach style
Painted with acyrlic paint and sealed with plaid outdoor brushable sealer.

Bowling pin art

 A bowling alley by my house closed down and were selling the bowling pins.  I bought 10 at $1.00 a piece
 Sure did have fun with them.  Dracula, ghost/pumpkin/ and my daughter in law Megan painted Stuart the minon
 After they were painted I sealed them with a brush on outdoor sealer from plaid
 The paint used was regular acrylic

My tote bag with turtles

 I made this beautiful bag from byannie.com   She has the best tutorials I have ever seen
 This bag is so sturdy and holds everything
I have even see them used as diaper bags

Watermelon picnic quilt

 I have always wanted to make a log cabin quilt and I wanted it to be watermelon themed.  I love how it came out.  The name of this beauty is summer sweetness fills the air
 You can have all kinds of food, hot dogs, and  pack them in a picnic basket.  Who else shows up?  ANTS
 You also need watermelon
 Sometimes bees flutter by
And you have to have a bucket of fried chicken and corn on the cob
