SliverOfWax Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I like to make fleece-backed throws, approximately 36" x 60", no batting. Loralie Harris designs the cutest fabric perfect for the throws. This is her latest design. I'll hand quilt around each square, with some solid black all around it like a border. She's done a couple of kitty designs, which I've used, but the only doggie one she's done before was Christmas doggies, and I stupidly didn't buy it when it was available. I was happy to see she'd done another doggie one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SliverOfWax Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 I sell them in my shop. I've only sold a couple but I didn't start making them 'til after Christmas, so hopefully, they'll sell better at the beginning of fall/winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debratant Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) You should offer one for sale, here on the forum for me in that doggy print. My Primo got one made by my stepmom 2 christmases ago. Her fabric was not nearly as cute as this. Needless to say...Primo was a puppy then and ripped the edges....so now it lines his kennel. He is in need of a new blankie to carry around....he keeps stealing my throws from the couch LOL.See? He takes my blanket...sucks on it until he's exhausted...then sleeps on it.

SliverOfWax Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I've thought about promoting them as pet blankets, but I'm not sure who would be willing to pay the "hand quilted" price. I might "machine quilt" one and see how it looks and how much labor costs it saves. If I could get my hands on the Loralie Christmas doggies fabric, I would definitely try that. People spend as much on Christmas presents for their pets as they do for their kids.Back when I had a bunch of dogs, they all had large hand knitted pillow cases with their name embedded in the center. I would knit their call name into one side and their registered name on the other. I didn't make them for anyone else, though. Just my own dogs.

SliverOfWax Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Well, I did find the Christmas doggie fabric at a place where I occasionally order, but retail, not wholesale. I'll wait 'til they have free shipping, which they do every 3 months or so. I hate to pay retail, but that's what I get for dwaddling.This isn't the full panel, but it's enough to see how cute they are: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SliverOfWax Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Handsome, isn't he! Or is he a she? I can't tell. I enjoy grabbing hideous images wherever I see them. I hope this one isn't a real person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
