I've actually made one already :) Hmm ... let me get a picture. got to find the thing first.
It's not exactly a "block" although it could be. I got a free paper-pieced dog house pattern, embroidered the dog on, and embroidered "mom" on the dog house.
I made it as a name badge for a meet and greet that sponsored a while back in Illinois.
The dog house say's Mom. The dog is a pic of my doggies great-grand daddy.
