You may have noticed that I love to make projects with cat patterns.
Cats Projects made by Susie's Sunroom |
This week, I had the pleasure of testing a new dog paper pieced pattern for Kristy @ Quiet Play. Kristy has been designing the cutest geometric patterns lately ! See this adorable Geo Little Cat block that I made earlier-

My Geo Doxie block by Susie's Sunroom |
My parents had a reddish brown miniature Dachshund, when I was growing up. So, I decided to make this block into a pillow for my mother's birthday in February. I dug deep into my Fig Tree
Fabrics used: Fig Tree Fabrics- Patisserie, Millhouse Inn ( the red), and Buttercup ( the chain link), and a brown blender from my stash ( the dark brown)
1 - 14 inch pillow form
I love using fabrics from my fabulous Fig Tree stash! { Are any of you crazy about Fig Tree fabrics like I am , and also have a big stash of it? }
I added a 1 inch sash on all four sides (Buttercup) |
The back has a covered zipper.... of course.

I think that Frauline is looking for Whiskers.... |
Have a wonderful weekend!
