Christmas Countdown - Day 3 - Santa's Favorite Dog Pillow

How about a pillow proclaiming your favorite best friend? This was our Sam E. Dawg. Mr Dawg to you please. This pillow was inspired by one that I saw while shopping with our youngest son. At the same time we looked at each other and proclaimed that I could make this! So I went home and did.
A simple woven home dec fabric, some striped fabric for the piping and a fringe that matched! Luck was on our side. Note that the pillow corner is actually not a corner but more of a curve. Makes for a nicer pillow.
Print the picture you want to use on some Printed Treasures fabric. It's by far my favorite and stand up to lots of washings and daily use! Frame the picture with a ribbon.
With the embroidery software, take a Santa hat from one design and add it to the lettering you've already chosen. Send to the machine to embroider using gold thread.

Have fun and Be Creative!
