Thank you CAROL for hosting this month's Hop "It's a Dog's Life". This has been a fun and inspirational tribute to one of our 'best friends' in our lives. If you haven't visited all the hosts, please do and give a little cheerful comment.
I have no photos of my beloved dog SKIPPER. What few photos were divided up into my childrens' photo albums that they now have as adults. He was an Ausie/English Shepard mix - super herding dog! He traveled to many horse shows as my 'shotgun' rider and stable guard dog. Herded cattle on the farm (and my kids too) and hunting compainion for my Dad. He lived a full and bright 19 years with us.
I enjoyed playing with some plaids to make the cute PUPS using the pattern 'Dog Gone Cute' by Lorna McMahon at Sew Fresh Quilts.
A commissioned memory quilt for a family who raised champion show German Shepards.
POODLES - BLACK & WHITE HOP pattern by Sally Trude at The Objects of Design
Another Lorna McMahon pattern - DOGGO I've done a few of these for baby quilts in different color dog faces and accent colors. Quick and easy!!
My Doxies with Moxie is an Elizabeth Hartman pattern "Dogs in Sweaters". I used this for our guild's President Challenge for color block of the month.
I've done a few dog blocks (site freebies) over the years to donate for quilts put together for fund raisers for various Animal Shelters.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
