In Stump's Honor


You may not be into dogs or know that the Westminster dog show was this week and the winner was a ten year old Sussex spaniel. You may enjoy the story, however.

To keep this on-topic, the photo above is a stitched Sussex spaniel from Pegasus, which specializes in dog charts.

I also particularly like this stitched pillow of a spaniel. It's probably a cocker spaniel but it does look a bit like Stump's pretty reddish brown coat.

Many, many folks do painted canvas dog portraits. Here's a small sample of painted canvases and kits. Google any designer name with "dogs" and "needlepoint" and see if you can find your favorites.
