That's all I can say. The hubs was home last week for the week. I was off work for the week. It was going to be nice. No work, just emptying some more moving boxes (I'm on the 6 months to unpack plan) and work on quilting projects. Monday or Tuesday I was to send out the giveaway prizes.
Here's what I accomplished for your viewing pleasure.
Yeah, no pictures, there's nothig wrong with your computer. I didn't get anything done. Well, one thing. I've designed a new quilt at The Hubs request.
The purpose of this quilt, is as a thank you gift to Ronnie Smith and Suzanna Love of Ronnie Smith Kennels for their expertise and training of our dog Jo-Jo. The training was an invaluable gift of their time to enable Mike and I to get Jo-Jo hunt ready for the wounded warrior hunts we got him to participate in. I started with this:
I decided to see what it would look like with embroidery. What do you think? The second one with the embroidery is better, isn't it? I like the idea of 4 huntsmen, surrounded by various dog breeds they work with and upland game birds surrounding those. The photo is just stock embroidery pictures on EQ6 but I would find specific ones for this project.
Of course, there is a third alternative, find fabric "scenes" for those tan blocks instead of embroidery.
What do you think? Inquiring minds want to know.
For the two giveaway winners, please forgive me. I promise you, your prizes are hitting the mail tomorrow (thank goodness they weren't Halloween or fall decor!)
I hope everyone is having a great day!
Cheers, Beck
I really like the quilt you designed. The pictures are great but I kind of wonder if by Christmas it might be a lot to get done and the embroidery thread. It would take a lot I would think.
ReplyDeleteWhat about having the quilter do outlines of some of the things you have in those blocks it would then be theme to the hunting.
Just a comment and if you don't care for it I do understand :)
If you're serious about that my neighbor has an embroidery business in her home. She does beautiful work - I have no idea what she would charge but her work is good and I think she's reasonable. Her website is www.houseofhuggs.com. Tell her I sent you! She does a lot more than is on her website. blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteSwear words and calling me names on my blog little Miss Potty Mouth? I'm so going to make you an honourary aussie.
ReplyDeleteI like them both (which is not helpful ) but I dont think you'll be happy until you check out the possibiltiies with the embroidery because it's such a great idea.
I say go for broke.
I am just about to email you ...bitch.
(It felt so wrong to write that-I'm so goody two shoes )
Stop going away and ignoring us too...I dont care what your excuse is. As if hubs is more important than your adoring public!
What a wonderful gift idea for your dog trainer! Unfortunately I don't know anybody that does embroidery - good luck on your search.
ReplyDeleteI like your 6 month plan dearie. I'm glad you came over to my blog...it brought me to yours. I'm a followin'!
