There is nothing I love more than giving handmade gifts. For my sister Ellen's birthday I made her this cute embroidery of a golden retriever. She has a sweet golden retriever named Indy, so I thought she would love it! I got the pattern from penguinandfish's Etsy store. I love all of her patterns- they are adorable!
I did the embroidery on 28 Ct cream Lugana- love this fabric!! The other thing I really like about the embroidery is that I used a verigated thread for the details around the edge.
I finished the pattern off into a bag using the Zipper Bag Tutorial that I posted about a while ago.
Interestingly enough, the fabric I used was from the same type of pants I used for my nephew's bag- just a different color!
Happy Birthday Ellen! Sorry it was Late!
Here is a picture of her dog Indy when he was a puppy- I think the embroidery pattern captured him perfectly!
Linking up With some of these parties!
Thanks for stopping by!

Bravo! Too cute!
Well done Zoe! This is just soooo cute! It really is a great replica of her dog.
What a wonderful gift!! Zoe; you did such a great job on their puppy...so sweet
I like the verigated thread, It really "makes" the design.
This is EXCELLENT! I'm going to have to try to make one in honor of our little Silky Terrier.

So cute! I am a big fan of hand embroidery. Those embroidery machines are trying to elbow it out, but I know there are those of us out there who appreciate the artistry and love that go into hand embroidered pieces! Great work!
Come by for a visit sometime :)
