Description
Elizabeth Hartman is a self-taught quilter from Portland, Oregon. She has been making things all her life but, after her first (admittedly disastrous) attempt at making a quilt, she was hooked and has been making quilts ever since. In 2009, she left her corporate job to concentrate on quilting full-time. Since then, she has become known for her unique, modern quilt patterns and her popular pattern line, Patterns by Elizabeth Hartman.
Elizabeth wrote her first book, The Practical Guide to Patchwork, to be the guide she wished she had when learning to make quilts. It won the Next Generation Indie Book award for best how-to book of 2011, and has been translated into French and German. She is also the author of Modern Patchwork, and Patchwork City.

Dog Park includes instructions for making 11 different patchwork pups and four different sampler quilt sizes. Everything is made with conventional patchwork techniques. No templates or paper piecing! Tippi the Chihuahua, Cookie the Terrier, Bernadette the Doodle, Pickles the Corgi, Lucky the Frenchie, Ginger the Dachshund, Edgar the Australian Shepherd, Wadsworth the Lab, Buttercup the Pug, Jeff the Beagle, and Clover the German Shepherd are all ready to play in the dog park. These happy pups are pieced using conventional patchwork techniques. No templates or paper piecing! The pattern includes a detailed chart showing the specific fabrics I used to make my samples, but don’t hesitate to make different fabric/color choices! I’ve tried to keep some of the block designs ambiguous enough to be interpreted as different types of dogs, so you can have fun mixing and matching fabrics to make blocks that look more like your own furry friends.
