After spending the last 3 weekends vending at local quilt shows, I am free this week to play with some new patterns.
I met a sweet customer named Lynn at my last show and she requested a paper pieced Panda pattern.
This PANDA turned out so cute, I plan to create a Panda pillow.
Another customer, Dori, is a dog lover. Her favorite breed is Shiba Inu. I had never heard of this type of dog, so I had to do some investigating.
The SHIBA INU is an ancient, Japanese breed.
I also recieved a message from a longtime friend who wanted me to design a Retriever dog quilt for her new grandson. I have a GOLDEN RETRIEVER block, but I wanted more than one retriever in the quilt.
I designed another RETRIEVER to add to the quilt. I decided this dog should be in profile.
Here is the finished Retriever Quilt.
The first dog is a pup that I thought could pass for a retriever. It is HAPPY DOG from the CATS N DOGS pattern.
Happy Easter to all!
Linking this week with:
I love all your designs but the Panda is over the top – how cute is that??? Keep up the great work!
Your vendor booth looks wonderful. How happy for your customers that you are sew creative and can help them with the blocks they wish to make. May you someday venture into my area of the country. I would love to see your quilts and meet you … 🙂 Pat
Such cute pups! Hope your vending experience was a good one!
The panda is very cute. And love the dogs… I will continue to work on my winter blocks — one of these days. Other projects have been getting in the way. But, I really would like a new wall hanging for winter 2020. (eek… I thought I had made a mistake on the date but realized winter 2019 is done.)
Wow, that is a terrific response to customer requests. All of those blocks are seriously CUTE! Love the panda especially, my daughter’s favourite animal.
