Dog Coats

My friend has two gorgeous French Bulldogs and I made them a dog coat each .  One is a female and the other a male, brother and sister.  They were made out of scraps of canvas and flannel. I put velcro on for easy fitting around the neck and tummy.  Unfortunately they didn't fit bu they have gone to another good home.  I have made more for other dogs but to order.  Lesson learned!!!
I go through stages of making a few of one item so any extras of dog coats I gave to the local SPCA Op shop for them to sell.  They are grateful and I must make some more as winter is upon us.

Introducing The Blue House Next Door

Well here I am with my bestie starting this blog.  We both love quilting and sharing our experiences, hence this blog.  The blue house next door is my partner's house where he used to live.  I have always loved this wee cottage and one day thought of it as my studio.  It has inspired me to create weird and wonderful things.

This is my very first quilt I made at a night quilting class.
