The Dog Bone Machine Quilting Tutorial

March 1, 2016

Dog Bone, Quilt Tutorial, Lori Kennedy

Good Morning, Quilters and Dog-Lovers!

My two Australian Shepherds, Ruby and Roxie,  have been rather frustrated that I have a feline tutorial (see the Cool Cat Here), but I have yet to throw them an FMQ bone.

Today’s tutorial is my response…

    You say “easy”! This would be sew cute on the kennel quilts to go with the new Special Edition 350 from Bernina with the paw prints all over it!

    Very cool, Lori! You might remember I sent you a photo of a quilt I made for the humane society (SoHumane) and asked for ideas. You gave me some, most of which I adopted, and you said you were working on a tutorial of some doggy kind. This is great, as I just started another SoHumane quilt!

      Of course I remember! Your quilt was adorable! Do you have a link to it anywhere? Did you auction it? How did it do? Tell us more!

    This is very cute and I love the thought “may you be the person your dog thinks you are”. Awesome word to live by. Your dogs are beautiful.

    Beautiful dogs! I enjoyed reading about your vacation on Maui, my husband and I love it there. Hope you found both of the quilt shops and the fabric store as well.

    Love that. I’ll have to do that for my Sir Frederick otherwise known as Frisky Fred. And oh, to be the person my dog thinks I am! They do have hero worship, don’t they?

      Almost makes one feel guilty–no wonder we give them so many treats!
