The Poky Little Puppy

The Poky Little Puppy quilt top was completed while listening to the sound of the sea at Virginia Beach. I love it!  I think some simple meandering will work perfectly on this.


The pattern came from Super Simple Fat Quarter Quilts by Lynda Milligan & Nancy Smith.  It's called "Hyde Park" in the book, using a beautiful floral print for its focus.

This quilt is so easy to make that our shop (Best Friends Quilt Shoppe) has used it as a beginner's quilt in classes several times. We have been saddened this week to find out that the publisher plans to discontinue the printing of the book and at this time there is no indication that any of the patterns will be published separately. I am very glad that I already have my copy of this terrific book and hope that the publisher will reconsider.




Examining my possibilities,

The Poky Little Puppy was my husband's favorite childhood book (so he tells me). And my son loved it too. . . he's a young man now, and I still have his much loved copy of this sweet book. I'm sorry to hear it's being discontinued - it's been around for such a long time.

Cute quilt. Thanks for the warning about the book. I went ahead and ordered it and that way I won't have to look and look for a copy I wish I had bought! I'm glad you had a good vacation and I'm so sorry about the pictures. I hope you got some good R & R...hugs, Linda
