Cute Little Critters

Sometimes when there's housework calling.... all I want to do is play in my sewing room. Usually, I work on quilts.... but lately I've been having fun creating cute little critters. First, I found this great book at the PIQF quilt show. I couldn't wait to make the little doggy. I've made quite a few and most have been adopted. This one belongs to Macy and she carries it everywhere with her.

Then I found this cute pattern and made loads of little kitties and bunnies. A few of them found themselves on top of baby shower gifts (tied in the bow) and of course, one for each of my granddaughters.

Then the cute bunny foo foo (what else would you call her?). These patterns were free (and I say very generous).

You see those cute little metal boxes? Found those at Target for $1.oo each. So I made little mattresses and pillows and flannel blanket for each one. Robin found me the cute teddy bears at Michaels and I was in business. I think it makes a cute little toy for those times when you need a quiet toy for church or the doctors office. I got the idea at a craft fair. Mine are alot simpler (because we all know the pieces will get lost) and I don't want to feel bad about that when that happens.

So. go on and make some cute little critters of your own. Now, back to my quilting......
