Dog Handbags

[Sandy F.]

I was telling a lady I work with about the handbags that a vendor had at the Quilt Show in Nashville last week. Unfortunately I don't remember anything else about the vendor. The handbags had pictures of different dog breeds printed onto the fabric (I think) and they may have been in black and white. Does anyone remember who the vendor was or about where they were located or what they were near? She has Yorkies.

Sandy -

I remember a vendor with handbags with dogs on them at the Houston Quilt Festival a few years ago (and I am pretty sure the vendor was in Houston for a few years in a row). I bought a Christmas collar for one of my dogs that had bells on it from the vendor. If you are still interested in finding the vendor, you may want to ask a TQS'er going to the Houston Festival to keep an eye out at this year's show and grab a card if they see the vendor.

Speaking of dogs, there is a lady in Loveland, CO who designs paper piece designs of all sorts of dogs and I know she has been published in Quilter's Newletter in the past couple of years. I actually met her at her LQS in Loveland and she told me that she will custom design paper piece patterns based on a picture of my dog (a little pricy, but well worth her talent).

Good luck finding what you are looking for!
