Bird dog ~

A while back I posted this work in progress. Pat Cross, the designer, stumbled upon my blog and sent me the sweetest email asking that I send her a picture when completed.

Here he is all finished.

A close-up.

The label I attached to the back. Sorry for the blurry picture.

I feel I received the ultimate compliment. Pat sent me another email saying she loved it and that I did a wonderful job!!! It was the first Bird Dog she had seen in punch needle. THANK YOU PAT!!! Pat's book, "Purely Primitive", is a great book. For the beginner, it offers instruction on how to hook, choosing materials, finishing your rug and even dye instruction. It also contains many patterns. Just a great book for your hooking library. Here's hoping Pat is working on another one.

I'm off to Woof-fest at the Grateful Dog Bakery (don't you just LOVE that name?) with Eema to work the Ohio Pug Rescue booth. Hopefully Eema will find her forever home today (though I don't know how I can let her go!).

Thanks so much for stopping by and please come again soon.

Pug hugs :)
