I’ve had pets all my life — usually dogs, but often goldfish or pet mice or the occasional turtle would join our family. All were lovingly welcomed. It only seems fitting, then, to create patterns that celebrate these special members of our households. Dogs and cats are featured– but you’ll find other critters, exotic and otherwise! These patterns are available through Fiddle Sticks Quilt Shop (360) 718-7103
Boxer — I love his floppy ears and adorable dark patch of fir around his eye. Making of whitish dog with dark spots can be a challenge. The “white” fabrics are all light with some small pattern in a contrasting color. I particularly like the white and blue plain for his ear. I also chose blues and purples for his other ear and dark spot……it is a quilt afterall. And what better choice of background than bright orange dots, it reminds me of this cute guy’s love of playing fetch. (22″ x 18″, 2016)
Labrador — Labs are great family pets — yellow, black, chocolate — I love them all!! To keep it fair, I made my lab in blues. Love the striped fabric that shows the folds in his ears!! (23″ x 18″, 2016)
Yorkshire Terrier — Yorkies are petite, lively and adorable! They have such expressive faces and the cutest fur! (19″ x 18″, 2016)
