Queen Elizabeth II’s official 90th birthday last week was honored by the self-design fabric, wallpaper & gift wrap site, Spoonflower, which created a collection of 90 Pembroke Welsh Corgi pillows, plus one life-sized body-pillow of the Queen herself.   “Not many people realize that you can make a replica of their pet in the form of a pillow,” said Allison Polish, President of Spoonflower, “but such pillows would become the next big thing…this year marks not just the Queen’s 90th birthday but also – less remarked – the 83rd anniversary of her love affair with corgis.”

Spoonflower itself also has two other strong links with corgis. It is, among other things, the world’s leading source of corgi-themed fabric, wallpaper and gift-wrap designs, with almost 300 available. “We’re amazed by the number and variety,” says Polish. “There seems a special fascination with corgis. They punch way above their weight.”  Click here to see more photos and read the rest of the story.
