A Doxie Pillow

A Geometric Doxie Pillow

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-


 Geometric  Little Cat pattern  ... I made mine a Fig Tree Fabrics Calico Cat


The brand new pattern:   Geometric  Doxie   will be in her pattern shop at the end of January.  ( here)


Pattern:     Geometric Doxie    - a 12 inch block   by  Kristy @ Quiet Play

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 stash   piles for some fabrics that reminded me of our little Frauline.

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)




For the quilting:  a bit of outline quilting around the pup, and a few "wiggle lines" to suggest some tail movement.    The  background fabric , with the tiny flowers, in Patisserie  Butter Cream, is one of my favorites!  It is even prettier in person.






The back has a covered zipper.... of course.

I think that Frauline is looking for Whiskers....

Have a wonderful weekend!  


I'm off to my sewing room!

Feather Fun!

Feather Fun!

What do you get when you mix a new Feather Pattern with some
                   favorite Fig Tree and Company fabric scraps?           
                                                 Scrappy Fun!


Feather design  by Kristy at Quiet Play blog  (patterns HERE)

I was one of the testers for this brand new pattern by Kristy!  She will have it available for sale in her pattern shop Nov. 1 !

Ok,  for the perfectionists everyone  reading my blog right now....  

Yes, I did notice  that the background polka dots fabrics are actually 2  different fabric lines.   (Actually I noticed AFTER the block was finished. )

I did say that I was using my treasured bag of scraps of Fig Tree Fabrics, right?
So... it is  a Scrap Happy Block!!

Doesn't it look cute with my Geometric Cat block  { also a design by Kristy at Quiet Play)
