Thank you for all your kind thoughts and words! I am trying hard to take it easy. Sitting still is not my strong suit.
Remember this UFO? I bought the kit for this from a quilt shop last summer. It was part of a row by row project. I was only interested in this part because of the Jeep and the dog.
I made the dog white instead of brown so it would look like my Pierre. The sign was supposed to give directions to a quilt shop. I struggled for ages with what to do with this long narrow piece. I finally decided to get rid of the trailer. It’s cute, but I don’t have one in real life. I decided the lake was Lake Huron, about 15 miles from my house, so I lettered the sign accordingly.

I like this much better! I decided to frame this like a photo. I found this old bit in my stash for the frame and mitered the corners.

I like this so much better now. It’s a good memory of my Pierre too.

Come back tomorrow to see the finish. Have a great day!

What a great way to modify the kit and make it your own. I love the Jeep and the dog too. :o)
How cute!
Cute idea! You will enjoy seeing this on the wall.
Perfect and a great example of how to get a kit from UFO to excited to get done.
So cute, and it is so you with the jeep and all! Take care, Katy!
That is adorable!!!
Hi Katy,
Aww, that change makes it so much better and YOU. I can’t wait to see it all finished tomorrow. Happy Thursday! ~smile~ Roseanne
