Dog Show

Last night I finished stitching Fan's hair and worked on the broad yellow border. I'm happy to report that three sides of the border are finished. Only the bottom remains but it'll be a bit tricky as I need to compensate for the one thread less in the paint job. This, naturally, makes for not exactly riveting blogging--stitch over four threads three times, turn, stitch over four threads three times, turn, repeat endlessly--so here's a parade of dog portraits from Squiggee's blog. Aren't they great? Each dog seems to have a different personality. These are real dogs, not generic representatives of the breed.

Squiggee is the painted canvas designer Gail Hendrix, whose work you have seen on The Point of It All's beautiful and classic canvases. Gail has started using up the leftover canvas from her larger pieces for fun little ornaments under the Squiggee name. You can see Gail's work here. Please note that although she does a backup blog like I do, her two blogs are not identical. She often posts one picture in the 360 blog and illustrates the same blog entry in the Blogspot blog with a different photo. To get the full Gail experience, check both places. And if you didn't get here right on time, look for the April 13 blog entry.
