Pet's On Parade...

Yahoo!  It's Lily Pad Quilting's Annual Pets on Quilts Parade and I can FINALLY participate!  This year I completed a dog quilt for a VERY special, dog-lovin' baby!  I know, I know...you don't have to have an actual dog quilt to enter... I could plunk my own (very cute) dog onto any quilt that I finished and enter the parade...but somehow if you have an actual Dog Quilt, it makes it SEW much SWEETER!

  My loyal readers have already seen this quilt...(sorry)..but for the rest of you, this will be new....


This was a FREE pattern put out by Fons and Porter!  You can get it HERE...

                                        

I love that the ears of the dogs really do flap...causing the dog to change facial expressions!  I also like the fact that the eyes are appliqued on...no buttons make it a safer quilt for wee babies!


YIKES!
Don't you want to take him home with you?  He's potty trained too and won't chew on furniture or toes...
I put minky on the back so he is soft and cuddly... like a real dog!

And you don't have to get off your couch to walk...all nine of them!
Here's the whole quilt...stars and all!

Even folded up, they speak to you!  
                            
Love the expressions....can you hear them?
"Ok...she's gone!!  It's time to jump off this quilt and have some FUN!!"

If you want FUN, then jump off this page and head over to Lily Pads and see the rest of the critters on parade...real and not so real...hmmm?

Have a magical Monday and Happy Stitching!~P
