A Mother and Daughter Collaboration!

Hello Everyone!

 

As a Christmas present to my sister Lori

from my daughter Pep and

I, we collaborated on a Dog Wallhanging

or a little lap quilt.

 

Me, thinks that I have a little quilter in

my midst!

 

This little dog quilt was made because Lori

loves Terriors. She has had 2 of them. One that

died about 4 years ago from cancer and a dog now

that she owns names Grissom. Grissom is so sweet.

The colorful binding and colorful sashes were

created from Grissom's bandana's. Everytime

he went to the groomers, he came back with a

pretty bandana. The bright colors just enhanced

the black linen.

Here is the finished quilt. The sashes and borders

are black linen and so is the back fabric.

 

I hand stitched the outside borders and binding while Pep

stitched the colorful sashes and inside blocks and borders.

The bandana's were cut on the bias so the fabrics were

stretchy. I did the best that I could in trying to make

them straight and sew down even. However the quilt

is still lovely!

 

A close up of some of the bones and dog paws that

she hand stitched. So cute!!! Pep even made the

tiny stencils for the bones and paws.

 

Here is the cutest Terrior dog patch that I have ever

seen. Look at the lovely small stitches that Pep

appliqued the dog down with. The stitches are even

and just as they should be. Hey, that's a wonderful

job you did there, Pep!!

 

Here is the little quilt in it's binding stage.

 

The back linen with Pep's and mine hand stitching

along with the binding sewed on.

 

The little quilt all folded up and ready to give to

it's proud owner.

 

Hope you enjoyed seeing the little doggy quilt.
