We’re barking about… Quilted 4 Paws

As every dog owner knows, you can never have enough beds or blankets. But spoilt pups deserve a colourful quilt to call their own – and you won’t find better than those made by Quilted 4 Paws.

The woman behind the brand is Mary Fletcher, a pilates teacher by day and quilt-making extraordinaire by night. She decided to start making dog quilts after adopting Molly, a Pomeranian and Jack Russell cross in 2012. Romanian street dog Gracie came along two years later.

Buyers can choose from a range of funky colours and patterns. Mary also donates 25% of the price to an animal charity of your choice. When we bought our colourful quilt, Ernie and I nominated our local rescue centre, Acres Way Kennels in Essex.

Each handmade quilt – which measures approximately 25″ (64cm) x 35″ (90cm) – comes beautifully presented. Ours came wrapped in ribbon with a hand-stamped cardboard label and the Quilted 4 Paws tag. The price also includes postage and packaging within the UK.

Mary said: “My lovely friend Maureen Cox got me started on sewing and gave me the confidence to do this. I make the quilts for fun – it’s my release from what I do every day. Having two rescue dogs of my own, I wanted to give something back. Hopefully the quilts I make can help rescues and make a small difference to animals’ lives.”
