Hi Cuties!

I have an inside dog!
Lol-I made this dog pillow for a friend with dementia or Alzheimer’s. He always had these kind of wiener dogs over the years and has one still. His wife said, if he got any worse, she would have to put him somewhere. I made this ‘dog’ so he could take his dog with him. I hope he likes it. I first tried to stitch in the ditch around the dog, but I decided to quilt his sweater with a crosshatch. I also went back over the black trim of sweater and nose, with a zigzag stitch, in black. My SID wasn’t that great so I covered the stitches with the zigzag. I had made a cat in PJ’s last year without a pattern. I told my granddaughter in law the dog should be easier. She surprised me with the Dog in Sweaters pattern for Christmas, in with my other gift. It’s taken me this long to stop and make it. With making QOV and 70 something bus gifts, I haven’t took time to make anything personal.
By the way, a tourist/passenger got my number from my niece that organizes the bus trips, so she could call me and thank me personally, for making all those gifts. She loved her vinyl mini notebook cover and zipper bag she won. She said she used her notebook to jot down & record things about the trip. Sure makes a body feel appreciated when someone goes to lengths to thank you for your work. Well look now at my pictures, of my dog, coming to life-lol I think he’s so darn cute!
