I went to a baby shower today for "Mein Freund" (German for "My Friend") Monika's daughter, Nicole. Monika was my boss for several years and we've become good friends. Any way, this is Nicole's first baby and I wanted to do something special for her as Monika has always been generous with gifts for my kids.
I contacted Nicole and asked if she had a baby theme and/or colors and told her to check out my quilts posted on www.thesewingroomutica.com, so she had an idea of what I do.
She was excited and said they decided on a "Bull Dog" theme as the have 2 of their own. She sent me pictures of the dogs, and suggested doing cartoon dogs or character dogs, but gave me free licence to do what I wanted.
This is the photo I chose to work with. The brown dog is Cobo and the black one is Jozie.
I used flannel, mole cloth and polyfleece so it felt like fur. The quilt measures 45 x 35

The funny thing was, as Nicole was taking the quilt out of the bag, all you could see was the "Dog Paw" print. Everyone was wooing and aweing!!!! She hadn't opened it yet. Needless to say, the reaction was "Oh my gosh!" "You made that ?" "That looks just like the picture." "I didn't expect this, it's beautiful." It made Monika cry.

I'm pleased with the out come and have a few people interested in one for themselves.
So what do you think, has my quilting gone to the dogs?????
