My Pet Deer

Quilting Arts Magazine has an annual calendar block challenge. This year's theme was "Feeling Pet-ty" where you make a quilt block of a pet or animal.

I live in a small town on the shores of Lake Michigan. My yard backs up to a large marsh, adjacent to the open waters of Lake Michigan. The marsh supports much animal life including "my" herd of "pet" deer.

Every evening they travel along the lake shore dining on the local bird feeders. We keep the feeders full and put out corn for them in the winter. My quilt shows one of the girls looking in our sliding door. I think she is saying "I would like some more please."

My quilt did not make the list of finalist. Oh well.....I love my "deer" little quilt.









Happy Quilting
