Two of my favorite things. Quilts n Bandit lol

He's a shed tzu. He is one perfect dog. lol

very cute--dog and quilt. Looks like Bandit has laid claim to the quilt.

Pretty quilt and great watchdog. He valiently defended you from that stuffed critter.

Love your puppy, also love his quilt.

Your pup is adorable, and the quilt is beautiful. No one's ever going to steal that quilt! LOL

The quilt and the pup go nice together. :mrgreen:

Cute! Cute! Cute!

We see a nice close up of Bandit in your avatar. I'd love to see a close up of your applique also. (Hint, hint, hint... subtle, huh?)

The quilt looks wonderful. Gotta see more!

Very Pretty! Love the applique and the colors :D :D :D puppy is cute, too :D

I hope that adorable dog wiped his feet before standing on your gorgeous quilt! LOL!

Like them both :D :D :D

Both are adorable, but I'd like to see the applique up closer too.

Close up

Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. I love your applique! This is a very happy, wonderful quilt. Bandit has excellent taste! :wink:

What a cute dog! ...and this comes from someone who loves cats. Your quilt is beautiful..so sunny and bright.

Love your appliques, they are so colorful, This quilt sings with happiness, bright, happy, colors. Reminds me of Easter time. It really is pretty. Thanks for the close up of your appliques, and thanks for sharing your art work.

You would think I could spell the breed of my own dog. sorry. SHIH TZU

I have a shih-tzu/yorkie mix, His name is Willow, Will for short. My Best Buddy,

Looks like the applique is all needle turned AND then you echo quilted around that?? WOW - very impressive. Beautiful quilt. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Gorgeous quilt and that's one cute pup too. I love applique work and yours is a very fine example :thumbup:

Hi , this is Ann . That is a beautiful quilt . also puppy ! Your applique , is that needle turn or fusible ? I haven't tried anything that big yet ! I think the yellow sure sets off the other colors in your quilt. Keep up the good work ! :lol:

I cut the shape out sprayed starched it and laid the template on it then ironed the edges around the template then appliqued it. I know clear as mud. lol

I considered trying the applique where you sew interfacing to the back of your applique . I was wondering if anyone has tried this . Seems like there would be a problem with the slit you cut in the back to turn it ! I have been using heat"n'bond lite for my appliques. :lol:


Ann

Beautiful JOb! I lov your choice of colors and fabrics!

I use the lite weight fusable on all my appliques, and the slit in the back dosen't cause me any problems. Makes all my appliques neat and tidy, easy to work with, and I can press my appliques down, and they stay for the stitching.

Even if you do needle turn?

I've never done needle turn, I have a applique stitch on my machine for left or right side to stitch down my appliques, so thats what I use.

I really enjoyed making that quilt. I could take the squares where ever I went and work on it. I do some other appl with my machine.

I Never learned how to do needle turn applique, But why could'nt you do it with the fuseable as well? I understand the concept, Would it not work?

Beautiful! And your puppy is SOOO cute! :)

Love your dog. You did a great job on your quilt. Love your applique and patchwork. Good job. Thanks for sharing.

Your quilt is gorgeous, Weste but Bandit would be my favorite "cuddle" bug. How cute is he! He looks like either a Llaso Alpso (spelling this always throws me :roll: ) or a Shitz Szu (dang, spelling these names is a challenge)! I had a Llasa for a number of years and he was a love but had been badly abused by previous owners so I never quite trusted him with anyone but me. He was very brain damaged by the abuse. My friend raised Shitz Szu's...they are darling dogs, too. Thanks for sharing both your quilt and your baby.

Your quilt is beautiful! I love the combination of the applique and pieced look--the yellow blocks are just a perfect background for the flowers....(and it goes without saying that your dog is just darling!!!!!!)

Bandit is a Shih Tzu. The love of my life. He all most died 2 wks ago. His immune (sp) system is eating up his red blood cells. He is better but has a way to go

Oh! I'm so sorry your baby is having medical problems. Hope he'll soon be better. He's darling.

Quilt = beautiful, dog= cute!

Both are just as cute as they can be....hope your little puppers keeps getting better!!!

What was causing Bandits, red blood cells to do that. How are they treating him? How did they discover it? What where his symptons?

Awww...what a cute picture and a beautiful quilt.

hey found it by doing blood work. He would fall over and lose control of his bladder. His urine was bright yellow. Couldn't stand up. I don't know what caused it. Also was drinking alot of water.

The quilts are great and the dog even greater....He looks so innocent..how did he get its name? Life is unfair... :D :D
