I don't usually do commissioned quilts, as between what I do for friends and family and my guild work, I have more than enough to keep me busy, but a close friend asked me to do a quilt for her relative's birthday. She wanted to feature her cousin's dachshunds, and a little questioning revealed that they were long-haired doxies at that. Fortunately, there is a website that has fabric featuring every breed you've ever heard of (and many that you haven't!), so I checked Hot Diggity Dog and found not one, but two pen-and-ink depictions of what I wanted. I did the star points in paw prints and dog bones, and Joanna Collins did her usual fine job of long-arm quilting--she always makes me look good.
I like it!
