Re: Dog Bone Wisdom *updates*

Been kind of busy lately but I am still working feverishly on this. I already have 2 other projects in mind when this one finishes up. Here is the update though. It is the bottom left side of the project. All I have left is the lower set of bones across the bottom. http://i106.photobucket.com/albums...

Re: Puppy pattern

I thought I would update to say that the pattern that I put together from different small stuff turned out beautifully. I did it on a light blue fabric. Even though she was having a little boy I knew she loved ladybugs and snuch a small one into the pattern on a mushroom. http://i106.photobucket.com...

stamping fabric!

has anyone ever stamped (ink stamps) their fabric first before stitching on it? Like I said in another post, I am looking for a puppy chart and with this I was thinking of stamping my fabric with pawprints! Thinking that would be stinkin' cute!! If you have done this can you post a picture of it?

Re: Dog Bone Wisdom

Thank you! I have about 4 more lines to go I think. I caved in and started on the side pawprints tonight...was too excited to see how they turned out. They are 1/2 stitches so it goes quickly. Finished one already!
