Poor Baby Jackson

 "Poor Baby Jackson"  is a thread painting I did of my cat.  He does look much like this,  took it from a photo of him.  We call him Jackson. He is by no means a Poor Baby.  I adopted him from a local vet, he had been brought in very ill, broken and un-loved.  He is really a character in this home of 3 dogs.

Gone wild

Gone Wild is also thread painted original design,  this was made for the 2013 Quilt Wyoming Challenge.  The bottom is against a black background but actually just beads hanging down fro the edge of the quilt.

Close up of "Dining Out"

I started "Dining out" 15 or more years ago. I  used it as a class sample in thread painting.  I  found it unfinished when cleaning out for a garage sale.  Decided it might be worth finishing.  It is very unlike the thread painting I now do.  The fabric is mostly visible  in this and I do not use a base color of fabric on my thread painting now.

I am awful at this!!

I am pretty bad at getting back to my blog and posting.  I always think I will get better, but I don't.
We are building our guest cabin/ fishing cabin in Crandall and hope to put some of the photos of it.We do have the roof on it now, and the windows in. Russ has the doors built and ready to install.  We tried an old Montgomery Ward cook stove, my Dad gave us,  but have found it does not heat the cabin enough.  It can get way below 0 in Crandall.  So, we do have a new stove ordered.   We hope to finish the inside this winter.  We will also put a deck on the front and a deck on the back, but that will  not happen until summer.
