Do you remember when we brought this little lump o' sweetness home and into our hearts last summer?
Gads...her cuteness still just bowls me over. And the brains and the personality. People--believe me when I tell you that a Corgi is the BEST dog ever! (I know; everyone thinks that about their dog!) We're about a week late, but today I finally went to the All Dog's Bakery and got her a cupcake to celebrate (I reckon we won't know the difference when we look back on this pic years from now).
(We must be getting old. We're photographing our dog as if she's human.)
Yesterday, while thinking up a pattern for abc blocks on point, I came up with a quilt on point idea and just had to make it right away. I didn't have enough of the spotted fabric on hand to use the larger abc sets I have cut, so I made a small one.
Cute? As you can see I still have to sew down the binding (I sure don't like that part). It's only about 22" from edge to edge (not point to point). I think it would be cute as a wall hanging, or even a play pad for a wee one under a year old. While I was cutting it all out I went ahead and made a second set, so will probably sew that up tonight. I can't quite figure how to price these things for etsy so for now I just stockpile.
I'll be back tomorrow evening with a winner for the pillow. Thanks so much for all the sweet comments!
OMG! I am laughing my ass off looking at her pic. I just love it to pieces! :)

What a sweet puppy! I hope you enjoyed your cupcake, Sophie. Yes, we all think our dogs are the best. I even have a t-shirt that says, "My dog is cuter than yours." hehe.
Love the little quilt. You have such good ideas.

That's one adorable pupppers, a fantastic quilt, and you might not believe me but sewing down the binding is probably my favorite part of making a quilt! Wish I could send you some of my "binding is so fun" vibes...
