__________________________________
About a year and half ago my husband and I moved to a new
house in a new area in our state. One of our nieces, Julianna, already lived in
the neighboring town. We’re really enjoying spending time with her and her
sweet and silly dog named Myrtle. Myrtle is a pit bull mixed with who knows, and
we take care of her whenever Julianna is off on one of her many adventures.
Myrtle can be quite rambunctious when she gets excited, and
on more than one occasion she has tripped Julianna, or pulled her down, while
on a walk. We need to be careful when she’s with us and we’re out walking with
her. We all jokingly started calling Myrtle
“Danger Dog.”
Julianna suggested I sew up a Halloween costume for Myrtle.
I thought about it, but I knew Myrtle wouldn’t cooperate with having a costume
put on her. When I saw the announcement for this blog hop, I thought it’d be a great opportunity to celebrate Myrtle’s
alter ego in a different way.
I designed and stitched a wool felt wall hanging that now hangs in Julianna's apartment.
So I present to you, “Danger Dog!”

After I gave Julianna the piece to hang in her apartment, she managed to get Myrtle to pose with it and got some great pics.
Thank you Myrtle for being so cooperative, (and thanks to Julianna for the photos), and it seems like you approve of my homage!

Myrtle looks so happy to have her own wall hanging. She is adorable, and your Danger Dog quilt is so cute. It relly looks like Myrtle. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Charlene! I was amazed she posed with it lol.
DeleteOh Elizabeth, Myrtle is precious, and your portrait is perfect. I think my smile when I look at the two is almost as big as Myrtles. Julianna must be so pleased as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lynn! They both seemed very happy with it.
DeleteWhat a fun Halloween project, even if danger dog isn't as quite as thrilled with it as we are. LOL!! It's a great quiltie for an apartment and I'm sure Julianna loves it as much as we do. Myrtle your adorable and you should consider wearing a danger dog costume. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Joan! Myrtle will remain dangerous no matter what she wears lol.

ReplyDeleteThanks Kathleen. She did a great job!
DeleteI love this quilt! Having had a few pit bulls in our family, I know how strong they are. Danger Dog is a perfect description for when I took them for walks. It was always a risk that they would knock me down. Thanks for sharing. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Carol; it was a real fun project. I appreciate the hop where I could share it with you all!
DeleteSo clever! Myrtle is adorable, and it is good to have a banner to warn any unwitting guests. Happy Halloween!
