you may recall that I said I had an idea about the fronds for the redwood tree
I ironed a fusible interfacing to the back of the fabric then just cut out the shape and stitched it down to the background with one row of stitching down the center
the interfacing makes the fabric stiffer so it has more shape and the edges don't fray as much as just raw fabric does
I think this technique is a winner
now I can't wait to get the baby quilt done so I can get back to this one! (goal #1 for 2012 -- get those trees finished!!)
the nurse dog is keeping the pillow and the blanket warm for the DH
she is the strangest dog -- her predecessor hated to have anything thrown over her head -- this one will let you bury her in blankets or pillows and just lays there
(she also lets Mr Cute crawl all over her without fussing about it)
it's Monday -- laundry to do -- and a lot of project balls in the air to keep juggling
time to get to it!

That's a very good dog, and a good one to have around Mr. Cute.
