SuzyQ needs a quilt

Our dog, SuzyQ, has claimed the futon couch in the tv room as her own. mainly, i think, because it is the closest thing to the vent where the warm air comes into the room from the wood stove.

To maintain some sembalance of neatness i usually cover the couch with an old sheet. Suzy roots around on the couch and turns and sprawls. consequently, the old sheet has become threadbare and been patched in several places.

This is what she had yesterday. she had gotten a new rip in it and i decided it was too old and threadbare to hold up much longer. so i washed it up and took it to the studio.

This morning i paired it with this...

and this...

This was another old flannel sheet that we weren't using.

So, now Suzy has her own quilt for 'her' couch.

here is the back...

i loaded it onto the machine and did some scribble meander all over it..took a couple hours. it's about 90" square. then i just pulled the back over onto the front and sewed it down...no fancy binding. i'm guessing suzy doesn't care if there is regular binding or not. she just likes to lay on the couch.

And, it's not like she doesn't have other quilts either. her pallet on the floor has 2 old quilts folded up on it. and the stuffed chair that she lays on in the living room as a quilt over it, too. this dog has more quilts than we do. but she's not spoiled or anything....hahahahahahaha

I better get busy making us some more quilts...the dog isn't supposed to have more quilts than the humans...is she?
