Quilt Pattern Search

[CoyoteMagic]

I'm looking for a Aussie Cattle Dog either applique or paper-pieced quilt block pattern. I am making Kennel Pad/Quilts for Dogs at our Cattle Dog Rescue to take to their forever homes. Also making them to sell to raise money for the rescue spay/neuter and vet bills.

If anyone is looking for an Aussie on the east coast, we have a couple in Foster homes right now. We will even do what we can to get the dog too you.

Can you use a wolf or coyote pattern. Change the colors up a bit. I know my ACD looks a little wolfie at times.

That may work if I just use the head. I think Aussies are a bit stockier and shorter than a coyote.

You have one?

 

[Damummis]

Yes.

He is about 75lbs.

Did you try searching under clip art?

CM, I found several links (on google) to a book that has hand applique patterns for many large breed dogs, that stated Australian Cattle Dog by name as one of the patterns.

Here is one on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/30708804/beautiful-big-dogs-applique-quilting

It is available on (I think) amazon, and through other quilting sites, so I am not sure if the etsy book is the cheapest one available.

Good luck!

(Another thought I had was for stained glass patterns, it would be real simple to convert the glass to fabric.)

Edited to ask: Is that an ACD on the cover with the bandanna?

I have the book BEST IN SHOW none in it, but I could copy a few of the patterns and you could alter them until you had what you need.
let me know.

looks like the one of a corgi is the closest to what you want. I can copy it and mail it to you if you want.
