| It’s Extra Fun In Colors To Match A Pet!
Darling Gertrude the Guinea Pig will delight parents and kids alike. She’s cute, cuddly, and sure to become a favorite friend.
Make her up in leftovers to match a quilt, or other color combinations you love. Fleece, minky, and fake fur will make her extra cuddly.
You can create an extra special version by matching Gertrude to a child’s pet guinea pig, as shown in the photo array below.
Guinea pig fans will treasure this sweet softie for years.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
