I Goggled the term a dog's life and found it has a very ambiguous meaning. When I first named this quilt I was thinking of the title as a satirical statement on life. As I read the many entries; "today's" definition means the good life for dogs and "yesterday's" definition means a hard, cruel life for dogs. Well, anyways, my thoughts behind this quilt are the dog has the good life while it's owners do all the work to support his lifestyle.
I decided to have some fun. I decided to use velour for the cushions on the chair, silver lame for the frames and Mylar wrapping paper for the lenses. I am thinking about using a different pattern of stitching for each color to add interest. I just hope it doesn't end up being too much.
I hand tacked the lenses fearing that machine stitching would perforate the Mylar and making it easy to tear.
