Gunnr is ......... a Calendar Boy !





Gunnr 8 weeks

They spend lots of lazy days in the Thread Shed
asleep under the sewing machine:


So......you can see how I was inspired to create a Gunnr quilt.
Actually, I have made several quilts with Gunnr on them over the last few years.

My most recent quilt was picked as a finalist in the




This year’s theme, Getting Pet-ty inspired hundreds of you to depict your beloved furry or feathered friend with fabric, thread, and heaps of love. From the countless entries received, the decision to winnow the lot down to 13 was very difficult. We saw lizards, llamas, parrots, horses, mice, dogs, cats, iguanas, you name it.

  1. Congratulations. I just saw the calendar on the quilting arts newsletter. I love your Gunnr - the quilt and the dog! He looks like such a character.

  2. Hi Rona,
    Gunnr was thrilled to hear your kind comments. Yes, he is quite a character. We have never had a Boxer in the house, and enjoy each day with him. He makes us smile and laugh.
    My Best To You,
    LuAnn in Oregon
