Wow nice first attempt.

WOW!! The dog looks like it could jump up from the grass!! How did you do the "sparkle" in the eyes. What a great job!! It looks like from all the posting you could be a very busy woman lol With your talent I sure would commission them out!!

I have seen a couple on the board of people. This process amazes me but looks soo very hard. You might do a tute - if you do pm me so I dont miss it!!! Thanks cheryl

Wow, that is awesome. I bet that took a ton of time to make.

If you decide you want to sell your "first attempt", I'll buy. I've had two Wheatens, this is great!!

Being new to the board I am reading and "catching up". Wow, this pic of your dog is awesome, I am envious of your talent.

so so sweet. i wish i could do one of my four giant schnauzers. is there a tut out there?

Spectacular - I would love to make a wall hanging of our special pooch. Did you take a class on how to do that? So far I have been mostly a piecer and havent done realistic quilts.

Thanks for sharing how it was done. I have it as a goal for 2012. Now to take or find the perfect picture. There is a quilting program for the computer that will do this to. I can't remember the name, but it converts a picture to the black and white image and the pieces needed. Going to have to think what it is called. I think it has the word quilter in it. Darn where is a memory when you need it.

You start with a photo of your dog. You then print it out as a blk/wht photo onto paper the size you want. Kinkos or on your own printer. Mine is about 16 x 20. Lay velum over the top and draw your pattern from the different values on the photo. from this you get your applique pieces. I started with the whole shape of my dog as one fabric and build the other colors onto it. If you get the eyes positioned right the rest will look great. Some of the whiskers and hair are quilted in. Of course this is just a summary of how its done. It was a lot of fun and I am very pleased with how it turned out.
