Foxes

This is not a fox! This is a Sheba Inu dog. We have one. This is not his photo-he is much handsomer –but they all look very similar. If I had a “fat quarter”* for every time someone said, “Your dog looks like a fox!” I would have enough fabric for two king size quilts.

*fat quarter–1/4 yard of fabric cut 18″ x 22″

This morning dog and I went on our usual 7 am walk in suburban Wichita, when I noticed two unleashed animals across the street—On closer inspection they were foxes! I zoomed in on my phone to capture proof I had seen two foxes in our neighborhood.

They were watching us so intently. I imagined they were thinking–“That is one fat fox.”

,Images of fox are very popular in fabric and quilts…often they are wearing glasses…that stereotype of “brainy”, or in baby motifs.

This baby quilt is a panel featuring a vixen and her kit. Hedge hogs, ducks, a pug and a kitten are also shown. It is 38″ x 40″ and machine quilted. Soft pink, blue and beige make up the border.

The backing is the softest possible. Minky is a super soft 100% polyester microfiber that is very light weight but also very warm.

Look at the handwork on the binding–well done. It will stay after many, many washings. This woodlands baby quilt is $150.
