OK, this isn’t entirely true. I did draw Murphy digitally. It’s just that I am more comfortable drawing on paper.
As long as I get adulation, I don’t care if it comes digitally or otherwise.

With Independence Day coming and patriotism at an all-time high, consider adding this unique Armed Forces Quilt to your home decor.
An Armed Forces themed alphabet quilt is a great way to introduce little ones to the world Mommy and/or Daddy work in, or it could be a gift to a hero who has already served.
Each letter block in this U.S. Armed Forces Alphabet Quilt has a colorful, non-threatening representation of some aspect of military life. (W is for “World comma anywhere-in-the,” which is where you may serve! M is for M.R.E.) The corner blocks have pictures which represent the caring and kind natures of the men and women who serve in the armed forces. After all, a lot of what the military does is build relationships. One corner has a sailor kissing his baby goodbye. Another shows the special relationship between a soldier and the camp dog. Another has a service member playing soccer/football with a young boy. The final block is a family waiting for their loved one to return home after deployment.
This U.S. Armed Forces Quilt, and other fine gifts, are available at my shop at L Bowman Studios.

Your quilts are stunning! I really like the concept of the alphabet quilts, and the variety you create.
Aw, thank you! I had fun imagining them and creating them. I wish my hands weren’t messed up so I could make more!

HA! Murphy, you are so smart and witty! Yes, I agree! Bring on the adulation…I’ll take it any way I can get it! 😉 😁
Tell your mom I’m so sorry to hear about the scanner problem.
Thank your mom for sharing the sweet photos of you! Your photos bring me such joy! 🙂
By the way, does your mom ever call you ‘Murph’?
Tell your mom that is such a wonderful, special quilt!
PATS and RUBS for you! (((HUGS))) for you mom! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
She calls me “Perfect Murph(ect)”. Does that count? I’ll try to share more pictures of me so you can smile more! – Murphy
The quilt is even nicer in person. I wish it could find a good home. ❤️
Yes, it counts! Oh, please do, Murphy! 🙂 ❤️
you do the most beautiful work!
Thank you! Coming from a quilter like you, that means a lot!
I do love your quilts. Since you aren’t able to make quilts anymore, have you thought about making quilt patterns and selling them? I have no idea what would be involved in making patterns to sell, but maybe electronic patterns wouldn’t be too hard to make.
Good luck with getting your scanner working with your new computer. Plug and play – hahahaha!!! And that’s from someone who worked with computers for a living.
Murphy deserves all the adulation his fans provide. He is a cutie pie 🥰. Nox thinks he is very cute, but way too young for her.
Murphy says, “I’m not sure how old I am. Maybe I’m just perfect for you!”
I’ve thought about selling patterns, but I’m not sure anyone would want to do all of the crazy appliqué and embroidery that I do. Would you be willing to if you were looking for a pattern? If so, I might consider going forward.
Nox says, “Murphy, I am sixteen years old and start out my days stiff. It takes the pills Dad gives me to make me feel better. Mom and Dad say I am an old lady now.”
I don’t know that I would want to all that hand work anymore. Maybe if the pattern was designed to be done with a sewing machine, with some hand work I would give it a try. I know the there are a lot of people who do so much their machines.
Yes, it does seem that people look for more for quick and easy rather than lengthy and miserable. 😆
Wow Nox! You’ve sure had a lot of experiences! As long as you enjoy having them, I hope you have many more. 😊💕
