I'm so pleased to share that just two years and two weeks after it appeared on my first
UFO list, I've finished the dog portraits! For those of you who haven't been following along since the beginning, these are thread painted portraits of three of my dogs, mounted portrait style (only the top edge sewn down a la
Jean Wells) to a separate quilt background on which silhouettes of said dogs have been thread sketched. To see more posts about this project, click on the
Dog Portrait tag.
The label text reads:
"The Dogs" Bullett, Missy, and Pumpkin. Now there are four and Pumpkin is gone but they are all always in our hearts.
At some point I'll have to do a project incorporating the new two (Bentley and Shooter), but for now these three are staring out at me, filled with personality.
