Meet Miss. Edie Grey, an adorable 1-1/2-year-old cream french bull-dog from Oklahoma. Christopher (The Tattooed Quilter) and Jack acquired her from a breeder and at 8 weeks old, she made her journey from the mid-west to the big apple. She may just be one of the most delightfully adorable pups we’ve ever seen. Edie spends her days lounging on perfect pink chairs, basking in the sunlight, reading the NYTimes style section, brunching with her dads, and talking strolls around her NYC neighborhood.
Fun Facts About Miss. Edie Grey:
- She’s named her after “Little” Edith Beale from Grey Gardens fame.
- Like most french bull dogs, she’s stubborn, loveable, and an all-around clown.
- She loves to snuggle with her humans, especially under a vintage quilt.
- She prefers beef over chicken.
- Apples and the occasional popcorn are her go-to snacks.
- She loves the pool and would take a bath every day if she could.
- She prefers Fall over Summer.
- She has two besties in her human’s apartment building: Eggs and Rosie.
- She’s an Instagram pup-ebrity (pup celebrity) and won’t pose without snacks. (Follow her HERE)
- She’s quite the shopper and anyone who walks her down the block will quickly learn that she knows exactly where the two dog shops are in the neighborhood.
It was only fitting that Christopher include a fabric print honoring Miss. Edie Grey. The print comes in three color ways, white, blue, and navy — via Riley Blake Designs.
We jumped at the chance to collaborate with Christopher and Edie on her debut collection, a swift follow-up to Blue Carolina (learn more about Christopher’s debut Aurifil collection by clicking here.) Miss Edie Grey released in September and features 10 small spools — 5 in 50wt and 5 in 12wt.
