I bet it is even more so the case, being made from scrubs. Seems like every week or two I get a test snapshot of the scrubs wearing clinic employees cuddling animals in recovery. It is wonderful that you do this Paulette!Lara B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15135992633781076268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-50273298505809373282015-07-06T01:16:44.763-05:002015-07-06T01:16:44.763-05:00Who knew scrubs could be so pretty?

I'll bet it wears really well. The fabric (see what I did there?) is nice and durable. I love this one! Such pretty colors! I may have mentioned, we're getting a puppy a week from today. She's an adorable beagle who we've named Lucy. She is sweet and of course, we love her already. LadyBug took a selfie with her after we'd picked her out and every so often (read: multiple times a day) she turns on her iPod to see her puppy. Grasshopper wants to hold her in his lap on the 1.75 hour ride home. And, I'm making a quilt for her. Nothing fancy. Just a few strips of fabric thrown together (but it inspired a whole color scheme for the puppy -- all of her new things are purple; leash, collar, food dish, dog bed, ID tag). I opted for an all-over loops and flowers, but I'm kind of wishing I'd have used this quilt for a little practice with something I haven't tried on the narrow strips and done the loops and flowers in the wider strips. I cut the strips a long time ago for an on-line FMQ-QAL that I never got around to. I was going for something quick for the quilting, but I think it still would have been quick if I'd have done something interesting with it.<br /><br />The whole point here (aside from talking about our new puppy) is to say that your spiral is fabulous and I'm with Shay -- those puppies won't be judgmental at all about your quilting, so use them for a little practice. You can do it!<br /><br />xo -EElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980461113595763030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4344904739833956385.post-20175324000698729992015-07-04T20:42:52.609-05:002015-07-04T20:42:52.609-05:00What a cute quilt, and how thoughtful of you to ma...What a cute quilt, and how thoughtful of you to make these. It's funny how perfectionism takes over, even when it's for a dog who won't know the difference. :) I will have to ask my vet if they need any.
