Who’s in the Doghouse Today! – Jo Colwill

I have re-invented a dog I used on my Eclipse quilt and added to him. As we made a quilt recently with a group of ladies for a birthday and it was so popular I decided to make it into a class.  The quilt is meant to be funny and happy, I have even included a cat!!! it can be made using machine or hand appliqué and can either be a large or small version, could even be a very posh quilt for your dog or to hang on the wall.
