This is a little quilt I am going to make for my friend Peggy, her birthday is 8/21. It is all hand made. You can learn more about it at http://www.lindafranz.com/

I have 2 things to say. One is - see Monkey, that is her mascot. Yesterday I wanted to have a mascot too. I have a stuffed squirrel that looks real that I had bought the dogs from Target the other day. They didn't like it (they thought it was real and dead I guess). So I said - ok he will be my mascot. Now the dogs love him! So next I thought - why not my dog Rowdy - he loves my quilts and he sleeps any where.


Well, I laid a quilt up on my cutting table and sat old Rowdy up there. No laying down this time. I am could he crawl up there on his own - he would have lay right down. But nope. I told him to look out the windows/door and he could see the back yard. Nope, he just wanted down. So I have no mascot.

Now the 2d thing - I used to hand quilt everything thing. This was back in the 80s. In fact, when I came back from Alaska a couple of summers ago I began handquilting a Moose (who still lays in my sewing room). But I am afraid of starting this quilt (see above). Because - it involves freezer paper. But I will do it, I promise - watch for my progress. I have the fabric, I have the freezer paper, I will do it, I will.

Peace - off for another day at work. KB
