The center panel of this quilt is only 12 inches across. The houses were paper pieced using bright colored batik fabrics. The houses were outlined quilted and a small heart was outlined in each doorway. The lettering and the dog were embroidered with my embroidery machine. I love to quilt, and I feel that by donating my work to charitable organizations, such as this one, perhaps I can actually help someone else.
The little quilt shown was made for the woman who rescues abandoned dogs in central Florida and finds homes for them. “Houndhaven” is a wonderful organization and I help them by sewing things that are needed for the dogs. I have made cloth capes for the dogs–which say “ADOPT ME”– the dogs wear them when taken to public places — Petsmart allows her to bring her dogs to that facility to try to find good homes for the dogs. Fiinding a ‘forever home’ for every dog is their goal. My husband and I adopted our dog from houndhaven about 3 years ago and he has been a wonderful addition to our home. I have also made other quilts for Houndhaven to auction at their fundraising activities.
