a great way to use up some 2.1/2 " scraps ,I have made 11 so far ,and 8 of them have been sold ,I like to add a small embroidery to the front to make them a little more special

These little cuties remind me of the the doggie I had when I was little. It was made of crocheted granny squares. Both versions are so cute and considered "shabby chic" by most of the young mothers I know. Wonderful Shower gift- just substitute felt circles for the button eyes!

I like them much but that is a lot of hard work. How did you wind up with so many small squares?/Lillian

Very Cute well done L Sherene X

These are so cute!

I am 60+ years old and still have my Scottie Dog from when I was a little girl. In fact I used it as my pattern for when I made them for my kids and again for grandchildren. I recently saw the pattern resurface on one of the quilting sites. They are and always will be very cute!

Does your machine mind embroidering over the seams?

no not at all Vicki , I have a janome 350e ,I try to pick designs that take no more than 30 minutes to embroider

thanks.

They look great Monika, well done.

I am able to collect lots of 2,1/2 " square because I make my quilt binding 2,1/2 " and the gusset in the dog is 2,1/2 " , so when I finish an item I cut all the left overs up ,I now have a tin full of squares

great use of scraps, love them

fabulous xx I love them all but the black and white one is my favourite as would suit my rooms xx

What a brilliant idea Monika, love these little doggies. I love the owl fabric and my favourite is the black and white one of course! Love Chris

I had to water 7 posts! Come one ladies don't forget to water the flowers. Love Chris

I always water the flowers - and sometimes would love to give even more than one flower!

Your patchwork Scotty dogs are adorable! My mother used to make these. One of my first sewing projects was to make one of these. I still have it 40 years later. I like to make them as baby gifts. How much do you sell them for? My mother never knew what to ask, so she let the ladies at the church bazaar price them.

yes its a free pattern , but I do 2.1/2 " square rather than the 2.1/4, and yes the back is patchwork as well

by decojo 24 Mar 2015

Thanks for adding the link!

Your patchwork dogs are indeed a perfect way to use up all the scraps we collect! Love them.

What delightful scottie dog pillows you've done& sounds like people are enjoying your creativeness too. I think I'd enjoy it too. If you wouldn't mind telling where did the pattern come from? Thanks for sharing your work. ~D

I found it on Pinterest

These give smiles, so they are well worth the cuteness.

What a nice present. To hug love and squeeze. Love them.
