Quilting The Dogs
When I posted those last pictures, I noticed right away a change that needed to be made at the upper right.
It was a quick fix and I got the layering done and the quilting started. I’ve had a few days to work on it and it’s coming right along. Those are white tipped pins in the eyes to help me decide where the sparkles go. The eyes don’t come alive til they get some sparkle.
Yesterday I taught a hand quilting class so did not work on it at all and today I finished up the tax prep so will not work on it today either, as it is getting late and I am tired of sitting!
We’ve been getting rain and the snow is all gone. For the first time in 8 or 9 months there is water in the farm ponds. Just a big puddle but what an improvement. Imagine the mud that two big dogs can track in with these big hairy feet. The Kom is 145 lbs and the Shepard mix is 165 lbs! They are loving this weather!

It took me a few flips back and forth to see what you changed, but angles and focus definitely better. GOOD EYE!

The final quilt looks great – i LOVE the details on your Komondor!
I will have to go back and ‘study’ your previous image. I have the same thing happen when I take a photo of a painting I am working on I will see details that I normally notice or don’t stand out as much if I am just looking at the actual painting. I always thought it was just me, ha! Glad to know that there is someone else out there who studies those details in the same way.
