5 out of 5 starsOur pillow turned out better than we could have expected! It was purchased as a gift for a friend who had recently lost her pup. She said she cried when she opened it and couldn’t believe someone was able to capture his likeness so well. Katherine kept me updated along the way, answered questions, and was super quick to respond. I would definitely recommend!

5 out of 5 starsI'm dying. No, I'm dead. I have died of cute-gorgeousness-overload from these incredible embroidered pouches! The portraits look EXACTLY like our dogs. The attention to detail is extraordinary, from their facial expressions to their collars, and I'm so thrilled. The seller was exceptional with communication, and I just couldn't be happier. Thank you so much!
About TheCannySquirrel
-
-
All of my designs are hand drawn, cut from felt. I usually chalk out an outline as a guide before I start embroidering.
-
A finished black faced sheep with free machine embroidery splendour!
-
All of my products are made in my home studio in Paisley - my favourite feature is my pegboard.
-
I use a Bernina sewing machine - it's doesn't have any embroidery programmes so each item is unique.
