Hi Blue Bell,
The chicken pattern is at quiltingworks.com and my avatar dog pillow was made in honour of my golden retrievers Livingston(who we just lost) and Colton who is a hand full.
It wasnt hard just took some time. the nose is suede, and the purple is a poly blend that feels like sude, just certain parts of the purple,
Go ahead and try it. you'll be surprised
Karen
