I loved making Cyril so much that I had to get started on Fred...
Here he is almost finished - didn't quite make the deadline....but my concentration goes after about midnight...and my hubby gets grumpy!
Kept with the same shirting background and added plaids, checks and stripes, bigger buttons and a bit of burgundy stitchery for a bit more butchness!
Not enough embellishment yet and no binding but these will hopefully get finished off today.
Do you like him? Or am I barking mad?
Here are Fred and Cyril - they are good friends already
There is a cat to come...but I think I will leave that till later. And I thought I should devise my own pattern - a pig perhaps or a red squirrel???
Well I'll give it a go anyway and if you don't see it you will know my efforts have been disastrous....
I have been enjoying this country style with plaids and am launching myself into yet another country project - a string plaid quilt along with Juliekquilts...oh dear when will my poor UFOs get finished...?
But hey plaids rule!

I'm not a car person (apologies to all who are), so I would go for the pig and the squirrel over the cat. I love Fred but for goodness sake woman, get some sleep!
ReplyDeletewell done miss speedy!
ReplyDeleteI love this new hanging heaps. Just as well you didn't reverse Cyril, they compliment each other better facing each other.
I love the dog! The stitching is fantastic - cute, quick projects are fun! I vote for a squirrel :)
ReplyDeleteCute mini quilts, love the dog, the country style, fabrics...XO
ReplyDeleteI do so look forward to seeing what craziness and quilty fun you are up to. Fred is so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteI plan on doing a string quilt too...but not yet....
Fred is sweet and the perfect companion for Cyril. Being a cat lover, I can't wait to see your kitty one and I like the idea of doing a pig one, too.
ReplyDeleteCompletely barking SS. Fred is very cute.
ReplyDeleteI've always had a thing for plaids. Those are so cute!
