I just finished this quilt recently. It is McKenna Ryan's At Home in the Woods pattern. I worked on it for a client for 2 years, slowly doing the cutting of the pieces next to the fire when it is really cold up here. The quilt came out quite nice but I have decided that I do not love the look of fusible applique. It is just raw and unpolished for my taste. The pattern was beautiful though and there was no way to create it using any other technique. The fine details in the flowers, bumble-bees and hummingbirds could not have been achieved without using the fusible technique. All in all, I am very happy and proud to have finished this quilt.
The photo of the dogs is basically for my husband's mom. She loves to see how her grand-dogs are doing. This is Bo and Gwyn (who is growing up) sleeping on their favorite blanket (which has proceeded to the next life already) and the fireplace glove that Gwyn likes to have close by. I love that they keep me company in the studio, yet lately I've been trying to explain to them that if they interrupt my too much - no Kibbles next month. Also, they lack the knowledge (or faith) that I will be right back, they don't need to follow me everywhere. Ah, it is good to be loved though.
Peace, Blessings, Love, and Hope to you all!
