Here's my entry toSewCalGal's Pets on Quilts Show 2010. The pattern called Perfect Pooches by
Daisy Chain Designs jumped out of me when I saw it at a quilt show and I just had to have it. I adapted the original design slightly to make it bigger by adding more paw prints and bones at the top and bottom. It has been admired whenever I have shown it at quilt group events and people have offered to buy it but I don't want to part with it! I made this a while ago but it is still a favourite because we have two dogs of our own and my daughter has two as well. All have their own unique character and are great fun.
Here's Kate having a snooze on my 'Red Square' quilt on the spare bed in my sewing room - she always likes to be close by!
Kate (collie/greyhound) with Meg (Border Collie) and Pringle (greyhound/saluki). Pringle is Jennifer's dog and he's named after the crisps (chips to those from the USA). Have you heard of Pringle the makers of Scottish jumpers? Well that's a perfect name for this dog as he was born in Glasgow and can do this.............
This leap in the air was from standing on all fours and nearly took out the light on the ceiling!
Finally the 4th, youngest and liveliest dog in our lives - Fudge. This is a puppy photo. He's not much bigger now but he's a bundle of energy and much scruffier looking than in this photo. He's a Bedlington/Whippet cross.
Well I'm really looking forward to seeing all the pet quilts in the show! Visit

ReplyDeleteLove the doggie quilt. Kate looks as though she is not giving up the bed, trying to get her nap in before you-know-who (Pringle) starts jumping on the bed :) You must laugh a lot at these characters! What a great bunch! Thank you for sharing.

How cute, love your doggie quilt. You must be very busy...
ReplyDeleteOMG your babies are adorable. Fudge is the cutest puppy!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your quilt, thank you for sharing it!
I just got back from two weeks in southern England and am insisting on calling chips, Crisps as well as my cats are now Mozzies and I have to remind myself that back home in Canada we say "How are you", not "Are you alright". I really did not want to come home to Canada, its nice here, but I loved England!!
