Slow but sure

Another local business has purchased one of Steve’s framed photographs. A trucking firm bought the Ensign Rig #113.

Ensing 113

This 33″ picture is a composite of six separate images. It was sold framed in oak. Steve does all the work himself from the photography to the framing so he can control the quality of the end product. Can you tell I’m very proud of him?!?

You can see larger sizes of the image at DLP Graphics Ensign Rig 113 9955-04.

And just to disprove the Photographer’s Wife is always the last to have pictures on her walls, here is a shot of my picture wall.

a rottie's love
I have just mailed a square off for Love Quilts. This exquisitely designed rottie is for Kyle B. who chose realistic dogs (Yay, he likes Rottweilers!) His quilt will be put together by volunteers at the beginning of October. I know, I know I’m cutting the delivery of my square close again. Every time I sign up for a square I say never again, and then leave it to the last minute. But after this many years of living with me, I’m finally accepting that some things just aren’t going to change. You can see the scans of squares already completed for him here.The pattern, Rottweiler DR 501 ©2004 is by Canadian designer Brenda Franklin of Brenda Franklin Designs. This was a wonderful pattern to stitch; the chart is very clear and the symbols well chosen. There are no fractional stitches or back-stitching, yet the Rottie jumps to life under your fingers.
With heart felt thanks to my “imaginary friend” Pam at Classic Hobbies! (another not so LNS! )
