I would call two inches of rain a good amount for our area.
There had been a time in the past when Megan knew every inch of the studio. She managed it all very well. That was great from my point of view. She had spied with her little eye had I had been working on an embroidery for Kevin and Kersten’s dog.
Now, she remembered that I had done an embroidery of their dog Kody and had put it in a frame. When Kody got sick and was no more, Carrie had put Kody’s tags attached somehow within that frame. At Easter, when Carrie’s family was visiting, we had come down to the studio so Carrie and Megan could pick out a cork box pouch for each of them. Megan asked me if at some time I could do a stitch-out of her cat William.
I had not forgot about the request. I hit the internet hard to find a cat, which Megan’s cat looks a lot like Snuggles. A site I had never visited is where I found a design of a cat from the chest up. It didn’t look like any cat we had ever had. I did get it downloaded onto the Bernina Tool Box where designs can be manipulated. I took off all the various steps of color changes and put in mostly white with some black from the cheeks up through the ears.
Today I decided to give it a try. I am doing my posting as the embroidery is in progress. I don’t want to leave the embroidery machine unattended. If all works out, Megan will not know of this ahead of time. I may have to use a bit of fabric paint in a spot or two. The design is half through stitching of the 56,000 stitches.
In between time, Dennis’ niece from Morris had stopped in. Jean always comes this time of year to put flowers on the grave sites. I have a child buried in the Hutchinson Cemetery. Little Scott Howard is with his Lord, no longer at the cemetery. That’s all I have to say about that.
I am going to see this project through in the studio. I never run the sewing machine at a high speed. With any luck, I will be joining Dennis at our dining room table in time for supper.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
