Dog Sweater for Small Dog

There is a small dog (12 lbs) who comes to the Athletic Club with her owner.  I knit this dog sweater using four different leftover yarns.  The pattern is Red Heart Dog Sweater from Yarnspiration.

Blanket in Blue

I recently finished this blanket.  It was knit using the pattern Blue Blanket by LondonLeo (found on Ravelry).  The yarn is Cascade Yarns ® 220 Superwash® Sport in colorway smoke blue.  After blocking it measures !32 in X 44 in.  I'm not sure who it will be gifted to at this time.
 These last two photos are while the blocking was being done.

Two Small Quilts

This first one was made using a kit I bought from a local fabric/quilt store. I did the blanket stitch by hand around each fused fabric piece the sewed on the buttons/beads and added the binding.  It is approx 5 x 7 in in size.
This red bird was done using a pattern I found on the internet (unsure of source now).  The pieces were fused in place then machine appliqued.  I hand embroidered the small branches with greenery.  The birds eye is a small black bead. I hand quilted it before adding the binding.  It measures approx 5x7 in in size.
