I apologize for not posting much lately. It just seems that there are not enough hours in the day.
Here is a recent finish. Although I’ve completed 4 textile portraits of my Bernese Mountain Dog I have never done one of my Golden Retriever. There are over 132,000 stitches and 18 different thread colours (primarily Aurifil) in the decorative free motion quilting.
This is a quilt that I made and then donated to The Little Nose that Knows to use as a give-away at their April 27-28, Sporting Detection Dog Association (SDDA) trial. It is 60×77″ and fully custom quilted so that each “window” is unique. I think the quilting adds a lot of interest and texture. I hope whoever wins it, loves it as much as I do.
I love this quilt and it’s Canadiana feel. It was fully custom quilted with Glide thread and Hobbes 80/20 batting.
