Special Dogs

Some dogs are special. We have one such dog.

Her name is Lily.

 

She has epilepsy and a heart murmur and all kinds of crap sticks to her fur.

My eldest daughter decided she needed a quilt, because all 'special' dogs need their own quilt so they can make it smell their own 'special' scent.

I immediately thought of Stitched in Color's bottled rainbows. 

C picked all the colours and glued them in place with her glue stick. She then sewed around some of them and I sewed around others.

 

Sorry about the crappy night time pic.

 

I free-motion quilted the trunk to have a little hole for a parrot or sugar-glider. We also included a freshly dropped apple.

I'm so proud of my big girl, maybe she'll catch a quilting bug just like me.

 

Since then I've been playing in a sea of blues and greens.
