quilt for a veterinarian's office
 

Does anyone have ideas where I might fine quilt patterns for a veterinarian's office? I want to make something special for my vet who has done so much for our family.

I have found a number of adorable ideas from kids coloring pages. I made this for Jim a few years back. maybe you could find a picture of something such as a puppy getting an exam.

I made this quilt and gifted it to my vet. The quilt now hangs in the waiting room of the veterinary practice. You can easily only make a couple of blocks for a wallhanging

They have several very cute cat and dog patterns, both applique and pieced.

Another great source for cat and dog patterns are Janet Kime's books, The Cat's Meow, It's Raining Cats and Dog and Christmas Cats and Dogs

This is a really cute and easy fusible applique pattern

Sharlene Jorgenson has a cute Scottie (pieced) pattern in one of her books.

If your veterinarian is more than cats and dogs, this panel would work for a farm animal oriented one. The pattern is free on their website and looks really cute done up.

awesome use of the NY block...love it. And, of course, amazing quilting.

I love Elizabeth Hartman's patterns, especially Dogs in Sweaters.

What a nice thing for you to do! I make quilts to be auctioned at a Humane Society fundraiser and it was pointed out to me that although the quilts depicting dogs or cats sold really well, the rabbit and bird people were feeling left out - so if your vet has a general practice, you could consider a wide variety of animals!

What a wonderful idea! a memorable quilt in honor of Lucy. I wish I thought about it for my dog. I'm sure it will be appreciated by the vet, staff and all the others that knew Lucy. I'm sure you will find the pattern that best fits with your idea. Quilting it will certainly help with your grieving process. I'm still praying for you.

What a special tribute. Thinking of you.

Am following this thread. My son is a veterinarian and they are remodeling the clinic. I want to make some quilts for the new spaces.

OOPS! I made a mistake. I confused Swannie with the lady whose dog, Lucy, was put down a couple of days ago. I am sorry for the mix-up. Blame it on a very senior moment.

Swannie,

Did you decide yet on the quilt? Here is one more pattern for you that I finally found again. I couldn't find it when I posted earlier in your thread.

Of course, it is now in my cart.

There is a pp book called It's Raining Cats and Dogs that has some cute blocks. Only ...well...cats and dogs! Maybe a mouse, but no other animals. Its been out for a long time, if I remember well. You can find used copies on Amazon...

Sharon Malec has many nice paper pieced dog patterns. Just google her name.
