New work

I almost gave up on this self- portrait as the materials I used were very thick and I kept breaking my needles while machine quilting.  A fiber friend suggested a larger jean needle and voila - it's done.  I'm not really crazy about it up close but do like the view from a distance.  Obviously I need to work on the portrait thing some more.
This is my other adorable grand dog, Baxter.  My son-in-law took this picture which I just had to use Ellen Lindner's technique on.  A technique that is perfect for hairy dogs.  This one is 22 x 30" in size.  Makes a statement.

I think they both turned out great. It's good when you work through a new technique and still want to do more of it!
