Show your love for your special dog or cat with this Custom Pet Pillow Fabric Portrait. It's hand crafted by a talented artist who has an eye for capturing the essence of each subject by "painting" them in colorful textured fabrics.
Makes a wonderful personalized gift for animal lovers.
The Artistic Process:
Each item is an original work of art. The artist first communicates with you to learn about your pet and the story you are looking to tell through the portrait. Is your pet sweet? feisty? happy? lazy? grumpy? She then sketches out the portrait and creates a color palette and selection of colorful textured fabrics that will will bring out the essence of your furry friend. Next, the artist cuts the individual fabric like puzzle pieces. The portrait and pillow are then hand sewn together by the artist on her vintage treadle sewing machine she calls "Bessie."
Here are the steps:
Size: Pillow: 14" x 14" or 18" x 18". Sizes are approximate.
Made in: Hemlock, NY
Wendy is a "Cleaver Treadler" who creates her unique art on her vintage treadle sewing machine she lovingly calls "Bessie." Check out the picture of Bessie in the product photos.

Wendy was professional to work with and my pillow is perfect!
Hi Jon. Thanks for your review of the Custom Pet Pillow Fabric Portrait. Wendy certainly is professional to work with and very talented. We're glad that you like your pillow. Thanks for supporting local artisans and small businesses.
Wendy was incredible - the process of making this pillow was much more involved than I imagined but the end result was so impressive. We exchanged numerous emails and pics as she selected fabrics and asked for details about how our lovely cat looks and how his personality is reflected in his appearance. The finished pillow is incredibly detailed and fantastically well made. I am so impressed with Wendy’s skill and NOBODY expected a pillow like this - not a photo copy on cheap fabric from a big box store but an heirloom piece that will be cherished for years to come. 10/10 would recommend!
