| THE SUNBATHER |
When Sue asked me to do a small piece for the book I was thrilled and really thought about what I wanted to share with you. I decided that it had to be one of my favorite family's pets. I love to do these wonderfully lit, fun pieces that capture our furry best friends! This is Winston, he is my brothers Frenchie and he is a character. They live in northern CA where it gets cold, in the winter you won't find Winston far from the wall heater. In the Spring you will find him sunning himself in the garden! Make sure you check out Winston on page 57! And make sure you check out Sue's book for more wonderful examples of different methods to use appliqué.
If you leave a comment here today you will be entered to win all this; a prize package that includes a book, a stack of 10" squares of Sue's hand dyed fabric, some spools of Aurifil thread and a package of Mistyfuse.

ReplyDeleteYour quilt really adds to my interest in this book. I'm very much a dog lover, and spend most of my time, when I'm not quilting, volunteering with my local Humane Society. I don't do much appliqué, my strength is in piecing, but have long wanted to learn to make quilts of my beloved dogs.
