I hope you are being encouraged to dust off those books, magazines, patterns, and net downloads. We have that long list of 'I want to make' and then let it sit - or add to it. Me list had a dog mini for my Vet on it so I pulled out this book and wanted to use the cover quilt - modified.
I went to my scrap basket and pulled 'doggy' items and fun prints - we want our pets to have fun at the Vet's office right? Luckily mine only take their annual trek and that is always a fun trip! (shhh - Moe cries like a baby the whole time) See, I had to take those Santa hats off - a minor adjustment to the pattern.
Here's the finished quilt. I wanted it fun and fresh. I tried beads and buttons and other embellishments for the dog's faces, but in the end I decided to stay with just the plain setting. The day I delivered it, she was in surgery, but she called later to thank me. Have you ever made a little something to thank someone who supplies you with a service?

Your doggie quilt turned out so cute!! A great gift for your vet! I have not made a quilt for someone who does a service, I did make one though for a friend that gave me her serger.
What a sweet quilt to make for your vet...a lovely gesture!
Your dog quilt is adorable :-)
Oh goodness, those dog blocks with bone material is seriously adorable!!
Very fun doggy quilt! It's no wonder the vet loved it, it's bright and colorful.
I've been enjoying the challenge. I just wish I sewed faster, so I could switch my challenge subject a bit more frequently.
So cute. I'm sure your vet was thrilled to receive it.
What a sweet idea to give your vet a gift! And such an appropriate one to give too. It has turned out very cute.
That is a gorgeous quilt for the vet Sharon. My old dog, a huge golden retriever, used to insist on sitting on my lap whenever we went to the vet. Very squashy on those little reception chairs.
