Entering a Blogging Challenge

So, for the last (hmmmph) years, I’ve followed the blog of Cheryl Sleboda of muppin.com. I first saw her on a program where she was describing the little quilts she made on a regular basis to develop her style and her skills, and she had a lot of them. I was so inspired!

Flash forward a few years, and every year Cheryl hosts a blogging challenge to encourage us to blog every day during the month of December. Every year I say I’m going to do it, but if you scroll through my site, you’ll see I have not accomplished the goal. But here I am this year!

What I’m working on today is cleaning up a few projects I want to finish before Christmas. Here is some embroidery I have done to make a dog coat for my friend’s chihuahua. It’s actually a free-standing lace project from Kimberbell. Normally, It would be stitched on tulle and mylar with a wash away stabilizer in the middle. Cut apart, the three pieces stack and can be used as a hair bow, applique or other accessory, but I have layered the mylar and tulle directly on fleece and will cut my coat back from that. Enjoy!
