{"product_id":"ellie-50-x-65-fpp-quilt-pattern","title":"Ellie, 50\" x 65\" FPP Quilt Pattern","description":"Meet Ellie. Let's just be completely honest: Ellie doesn't have a single complex thought in her entire head, and she is absolutely thrilled about it. Her primary setting is \"unadulterated joy,\" especially if that joy involves a rogue tennis ball, a discarded french fry on the sidewalk, or just you looking in her general direction. She is currently sitting with a massive, goofy grin and her tongue hanging out, blissfully unaware of personal space, taxes, or the fact that she is directly in the way of whatever you are trying to do. She is the ultimate good girl, relying entirely on her relentlessly sunny disposition to get away with shedding on every single piece of black clothing you own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis hilariously sweet design captures the household's happiest resident just radiating pure sunshine. Featuring beautifully pieced, blocky shades of warm gold, tan, and cream to map out her floppy ears and sweet face, the absolute star of the show is that bright pink, happily panting tongue. She is set against a vibrant, geometric background of lush, highly textured leafy greens, looking like she just had the absolute best day at the park and is politely waiting for you to tell her how good she is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDive into your fabric stash to play with warm fawns, toasted tans, and crisp creams for her coat, a pop of bright pink for that giant smile, and a massive variety of textured green batiks to bring this blissful backyard scene to life. Whether you are crafting a cheeky throw pillow for a dog parent who completely spoils their rescue mutt, a spectacular wall hanging for the living room, or just want an excuse to piece a pup who is just genuinely happy to be involved, this pattern lets you show off your precision piecing skills stitch by hilariously happy stitch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD (PDF).
