The Dog Bone Machine Quilting Tutorial
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…
The Dog Bone Free Motion Quilt Tutorial
This is a very easy motif that can used as a background fill or as a border.
Begin by stitching a 3/4 circle and then a straight line.
Add a partial heart shape…
Stitch another parallel line and close the left side of the bone.
To stitch another bone, add a loop-de-loop line…
Add “bow-wow” or your dog’s name in between bones if you like…
Stitch the motifs in a row to create a border or add the looping lines and stitch a background fill.

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!
Adorable! Great idea!
Love it! I have a Sheltie, and am going to have to use these “bones” on one of my quilts!
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!
Adorable photo but I’m calling you out – I recognize the cookie that is being fed to the dog! 🙂

LOLOL!!!
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.
Hi. Are you stitching this on a LAQ machine or DSM? Thanks, Great idea and lovely work.

Your dogs are beautiful! Hope they are happy now!! My dog Charlie says please give them a milk bone treat from him!!
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.

Please send links or names of quilt stores. Several people have asked!
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!
Wish I would have had this when I made my granson’s quilt that had appliques dogs on it!
