quiltmonkey Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 OK I am in a silly mood (what's new) and these are too cute not to share, so humor me please by looking. I made this yesterday to celebrate and recognize National Quilting Day My local guild has a project to either donate a teddy bear (or teddy bear wanna-be) and make a small child's quilt to keep in the State Trooper's vehicle, or police vehicle in case they have to transport a child from an unfortunate situation.... so we are gathering teddy bears (or wanna-bees) and making little quilts. In my case, it's a wanna be teddy bear (husky sled dog) and I used remnant blocks of Alaskan animals and scenes size 36"x30" So I took pictures with my shepherds standing by. They really LIKE the new quilt and teddy wannabe. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Just too cute, all of them! Put a smile on my face too and I really needed it. Them puppies look like they are being cheated since you won't let them climb on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like wonderful friends. Awww! Yes, They are indeed "sweetie-pups" and love kids. Raider (the long haired black shepherd) is 120+ pounds and nothing but a lot fur and love... He really is a giant real life teddy bear. The other shepherd is his daughter, Rika, and she would lick your face off if you let her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Awwwah---your dogs are so handsome! The quilt turned out great! Wow--love those fabrics! and what a perfect stuffed toy with tiny quilt! Your dogs must be well behaved to not grab up the toy! I love all the pictures---but those faces in the third picture are so adorable! (We have a new puppy, and that is so not happening right now! She thinks everything is fair game!)

WestieMom Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Miss Shana, Love your quilt, teddy wanna-be with his little mini-quilt, and your fur babies are just so adorable. What a great idea to donate these quilts to officers to have on hand for little ones. I'm curious as to whether or not our local officers have something similar and plan on checking into this. My friend's son is an officer and I'll have to ask him if they would have a need. Now, back to your fur babies...what intelligent, gentle faces on these precious pups!

Farmland Quilter Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 How in the world did you get your dogs to pose like that? Our little 1/2 poodle 1/2 Havanese would have been all over the quilt or have her nose on the camer.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s.waits Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 What a great project! I noticed the mini quilt for "Wanna be" right off too. The perfect addition so that both child and buddy have matching quilts. The photos of your babies are just precious. Their faces are so expressive, they bring back wonderful memories of my own fur baby. That last photo of Raider is priceless. " Ahhh, finally got to touch it. Mommy won't mind if I just lay my head right here on this corner....." As I said, his face is so expressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
