She even painted that button white to make it look like her. BUT, did you note that quilting? Isn't she fantastic? I am in awe with every single thing she makes. One is more beautiful than the next!
Then......I got my 3D quilt from "uberstitch" (Pam) for the QT swap. Note all the goodies she sent to me too. E-gads, it felt like Christmas.
And last, but not least, I followed a marvelous tutorial here to learn the D4P trick and made my own quilt to show it off. Needless to say, I started with lots smaller squares and I did square them all up to 4 inches before I sewed them together. I love the wonkiness of it! I think this might be used as another angel quilt for DQS10 if we need it. I surely will be using that tutorial again though....so fun!
Hope you all are keeping busy too. In between sewing, I've been researching Bichon rescue sites so who knows????? Eventually, there might be a new family member here......we're thinking boy this time. We've never had a boy dog before and I understand they are oh so sweet. We'll see.....
