I’ve taken a long break on this pet mosaic project** because of more pressing demands. The last two days I have spent working again on stitching sections together. It will soon be midnight and I have clocked nearly 10 hours straight! I started focusing on joining sections that were already sewn yesterday. Today I got 3 more sections sewn. Each section has 81 squares or can be counted as 9 rows across & down. . Mittens is turning out pretty cute I think!
I really needed to move this project UP on the wall before I could lay in the rest of the design. I have the next 4 rows on the wall, and need to move them up, now that I have made room.
I have 5 more rows to go to get his mouth and chin into the design. I packed up all my “containers” of squares 2 weeks ago so I could work on something else! They are in a big container on the floor at the bottom of the design wall. No doubt I will be spreading them out all over the place before I finish~!~. This is a time consuming but fun project.
Speaking of projects — remember those bibs in my last post?? Well, this is why I make them — Check out that smile!
Where ever you are, I hope what ever you make brings a smile to someones face!

A grandchild’s smile can make a grandmother’s heart soar. 🙂 Ten hours straight? Really, Mary? Where do you get that type of dedication? I’m feeling like a real slacker here. 🙂

Fed the hubby lunch, and then he was off and out of the way! I REALLY need to work on getting a bathroom installed in the garage though….My only break came for a can of soup at 8:30 pm, then I went right back. I put a book on and lose all track of time.

If you’re going back to fix the nose and will be using the same base fabric, I found it was easiest to iron the stitching line into the replacement piece, pin it onto the base fabric, then tear the square out and rip and resew.
