5.0 out of 5 stars Appliques for the big dog breeds, November 23, 2007

By	Barbara Rhoades "Jackie of all Trades" (O'Fallon, MO USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

BEAUTIFUL BIG DOGS contains 35 dog appliqués by Darcy Ashton. If you have her DARLING LITTLE DOGS book, you can create 70 different dogs. You could even adapt one of her appliqués to match your own cuddly friend. We had a Keeshond and that breed comes from the runts of the Huskies so they look similar.

In purchasing this book from Ms. Ashton's site, [...], you get a signed copy along with a couple of "extras" surprises. Seven quilt patterns and one pillow pattern are included. There are tips on transferring patterns, embroidery stitches and helpful hints on sewing the faces and dressing up your dog. Making a special label, fusing and needleturn appliqué instructions are other tips Ms. Ashton provides along with basic quilting information.

Each project is clearly written and has nice graphics to help detail the directions. A fabric and cutting list are found right after the block and quilt size. Assembling directions are next and finishing suggestions complete the pattern. The appliqués are full-sized so you don't need to run out to the copy shop to start your project.

As an owner of a big breed of dog, you can create a quilt for your special friend and one to match for yourself. Giving a quilt to someone who owns a big dog makes a great gift and will be appreciated for years to come. You could even add BEAUTIFUL BIG DOGS is your own wish list.
