Look what I found at Butterick and McCall’s new online Quilt Design Shop. Our pets end up on our quilts anyway so why not make a quilted bed just for them. Upcycle your orphan blocks to get a head start on this cute quilting project. Click for pattern details.

Looking for more things to hand-make and DIY for your dog? Check out some of our favorite things to make for dogs. Owning a dog can be very expensive and not only does making your own dog beds, coats and toys seem like fun, it is also a great way to save money on pet supplies too.  One of our puppy’s favorite homemade dog toy is a soda bottle ½ filled with rice. It is noisy, it flips and spins and has a spout for him to grab.
