This is a photo I took of Suzy our Jack Russell Terrier
If there is a quilt left lying around, Suzy will find it and get cozy!
As soon as I took this photo...
I just knew it would become a quilted textile someday
Suzy Quilt
Photo Transfer, Free Motion Quilting, Thread Painting
Detail of Thread Work
Suzy's favorite place is under my sewing machine!
She is the very best sewing dog
I cherish our time together in the Thread Shed
When I am binding a quilt...
I am not alone...
Suzy gets cozy on the quilt while I am binding it.
I sit by the window so I have lots of light to hand sew...
Suzy enjoys the warm rays of sunshine while she is napping on the quilt.
I am in the process of making another Suzy Quilt...
Do you think Suzy approves of the pattern?

Hi SheilaC,
ReplyDeleteA photo transfer tutorial.....great idea!
Yes, I can do that.
The next time I create a piece using photo transfer, I will photograph each step of the process, then post it on the blog to share with everyone.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Suzy is wonderful, those pictures make her look so sweet. I followed your links to see how to do the photo transfer, now I have to try it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYour Suzy has stolen my heart! Your quilt is a wonderful tribute to your sweet little girl.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous design! Your free motion/thread painting is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWHAT A SWEETHEART!!!! OMG!!! Aren't they just the best friends ever!! BFF was meant for man and dogs!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind works about Suzy Dog.
She stole our hearts 15 years ago when my 10 year old son found her under the Christmas tree.
He is away at college now, so she sticks to me like glue.
We are lucky to have Suzy Girl.

I love how you framed and quilted Suzie's picture. She looks like one happy dog! :)
ReplyDeleteVery impressive. Cute pictures of Suzy!
ReplyDeleteThe thread painting is marvelous on the quilted portait of Suzy. She looks so happy and comfortable on the quilts. Oh the life of our pets.
ReplyDeleteYour Suzy is adorable. I have a similar photo of my westie-Jessie from years ago...I still miss her. Maybe I'll try to make it into a quilted wall hanging. Thanks for the inspiration :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous dog Suzy is. The photos are just lovely. Thanks for showing them.
ReplyDeleteYour thread painting of Suzy is super! Love your photos of Suzy on your quilts and under your sewing table. Thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteI love to see photos of your dogs. How old is your sweet Suzy?
ReplyDeleteOur Little Suzy girl is 15 years young!
ReplyDeleteShe was a surprise under the Christmas tree to our 10 year old son back in 1995.
He is away at college now, and she is lost without him.
She has become my shadow and rarely leaves my side.
She delights in sleeping under the sewing machine while it is humming along.

Suzy is a cute as can be. I can tell how much love there is between you.
ReplyDeleteSuzy is so cute, I love the sleepy photo. Seems to be a thing with dogs laying under the work table, I have two that have their spots all picked out.
ReplyDeleteSuzy is adorable! I love how you made a quilt using that photo transfer. The tread painting is fantastic!
