Tiny corgi

So after lots of quilts, here is some knitting to keep you interested.  Our local paper decided that knitting and hosting a Royal Wedding was the thing to do, so I said I'd knit, as long as I got to do the Corgi. He's a wee tiny thing, and took way longer to finish that knit.  I think I should have stuffed him fuller. I've never sure what point is overstuffed and what point is just right.

Finally Finished.

Well, this quilt has been done for a couple weeks, but I finally got some non-cell phone photos of it.  Also, I bought new sheets yesterday to match it, so I had to take pictures. :)

This is the Swirley Girls pattern Equal Rights.  I made the queen size, and used a bunch of different teal fabrics and Kona Chocolate.


 It makes me very happy to have it on my bed.  This is the biggest project I've ever done! And I even quilted it on my own machine. Granted, I didn't do as much quilting as I had orginally planned, I'm still happy with the end result.

I had found this dot that I love, and built the quilt around that piece.  I have enough left over to make pillow cases, but was stuck as to make 2 standard size or one body pillow size.  Well, after finding the sheet set, it looks like I'll make the body pillow.  I love when things work out well.
