Progress

Progress on the Yorkie piece,

Yorkie2halfYorkieTopIt wasn’t until I got things all sewn together that I saw some places that I need to change. Perhaps today I will do that. But I DO like the new background better.. Once it is layered with white batting, and quilted, those seam lines will not be so obvious.

I’ve been dragging my feet since arriving back home! Don’t EVEN have the quilts all unpacked yet. I spent the afternoon yesterday outside reading the newest Stephen King book, Mr Mercedes. It was hot out but with a nice breeze, not bad in the shade. I was also trying to make contact with the stray dog. He seems to sort of enjoy being talked to now. At least he doesn’t run away.

We got a really nice rain last night, several inches and no run off. It all soaked in and not a moment too soon. Everything was withering away.

This weekend SAQA’s “Seasonal Palette” including my “December Dawn” is showing in BRAZIL!! What a milestone; this is the first time my work has been shown in South America.  Hope they enjoy it!DecDawn450

    The Yorkie piece is looking sooo good, and yes, I like the new background better, too. Your dog hair fabric is a great selection; I’m sure when you saw that you knew it would be just right for a little fellow at some point. Glad the lost dog is beginning to enjoy hearing your voice. I think how lucky our family pets are to have secure homes and loving families!

    Yes! I am always on the lookout for fabrics that can be used for hair. Along with the batik, there are some autumn grasses in there.
