Westie Quilt Pattern Links

I've collected several quilting patterns with Westies or terrier-like dogs (including some Scotties) as the main theme. Even though I'm not a real quilter, someday I plan to sew at least a couple of Westie quilts or wall hangings.

So, similar to my list of Westie machine embroidery links, I'm starting a page just for quilting patterns I like or have purchased, to help me keep track of my "collection".

I also have a Westie and doggie fabric collection photo album, updated every once in a while when I find something new.

Quilt Patterns I have made: 

• "Halloween Treats" appliqué quilt from FreePatterns.com; the original design features a Scottie and Chihuahua, but I made a few changes so that they resemble my Westie and Wauzer >> scroll down the linked page to find the pattern; registration/login required to download from this website. Here's my finished version, Westie Halloween Treats:
  

Quilt Patterns I have purchased:

• West Highland Terrier Picture Quilt - Malec Designs > portrait of a Westie
• Nickel Dogs - Me and My Sister Designs > made from charm squares, the pattern is suggestive of terrier dogs
• Gone to the Dogs - judydidit designs > [the links to this seem to be broken - a google search yields lots of vendors offering this pattern] nine playful doggies in various colors, some with pointy terrier ears and some with floppy ears, and a variety of tail shapes. Could be adapted to feature almost any breed!
  
• Doggie Diaries Quilt Pattern - Block Party Studios, Inc. > This could be made for any breed, not just Westies; pattern comes with a printed fabric panel with quotations and sayings.
• Scottie Dog Tree Skirt - American Jane > scroll down the American Jane page to find the tree skirt pattern and two others - Scottie Dog baby quilt and Puppy Parade
• Small Dogs > Designs for Machine Appliqué - traditional appliqué, not digitized for machine embroidery. Quilt design for a dozen small dogs, with the Westie right in the middle from Critter Pattern Works. They also have another pattern available featuring a Westie design, Dogs 1 pattern.
  

Quilt Patterns I have spotted on the web:

• "Scottie Dog Scrap Baby Quilt" one of 12 "dog" projects from FreePatterns.com; it features Scotties, but could easily be made as Westies >> scroll down the linked page to find these; registration/login required to download from this website
• West Highland White Terrier Portrait (a head study), West Highland White Terrier (with defined pointed ears) and West Highland White Terrier (with rounded head style) designs by Linda Hibbert available from SilverLiningsOriginals.com. The Canine Corner page has patterns for all AKC dog breeds, some mixed breeds and commissioned portraits; worth a visit to this site just to see each of her AKC breed group quilts!

This isn't a quilt, but here's a photo of a Westie Christmas tree skirt I made from craft felt, rick-rack, buttons and glue. (This is a scanned image of the original photo, so some of the colors are off).

Every year when I put up the Westie Christmas tree (in addition to our main Christmas tree), this goes under it and I always think that I should add some hand stitching to it, but now it's about 10 years old and starting to come apart. It should probably be replaced - maybe a quilted skirt is in order.

Doesn't everyone have a special Christmas tree just for their Westies?
