I loved looking at all your stitching. I've got some things that I've practice-stitched on (satin stitch) in my quest to do away with bias tape in some stained glass panels I had been working on.
For kicks, I'll look around for pics of them and show 'em off.
I'm sure you will all be polite and say, "how nice!" But, really, you don't have to. I'm practicing and trying to develop skill.
I was really impressed with the amount of painstaking work you do. It's a true labor of love. And I love your dog. I've got one of my own -- whoops, make that two. (Miniature Pinschers)
