Progress on Morris and the Skunk Trap -CQJP

I did the skunks off block and then appliqued them on...stuffing them a bit for a 3D effect (stumpwork).  Obviously Morris in the trap is a re-enactment. I do have a picture of him actually in the trap but the light was poor and I knew it would never transfer well... All I have left on this block is the seam work... Don't miss the key in the skunk's paw...

Several years ago in one of my less lucid moments (and there were many) I made a slipcover for my ratty old desk chair.  I used a white bedspread.  It was absolutely gorgeous at the beginning but easily became soiled with use and every time I washed, it became grungier and grungier... So a new slipcover is on my winter list..  I brought these two pieces of tapestry in from the barn and have taken turns with them draped on the chair to decide which I will use... The one on the right won...

I need a new slipcover on my work stool also so the other piece can work there. Both are good-sized pieces from the thrift store.

This skunk page and "the ends" are just delightful! I hope to see the book in person some day.

OMG! The skunk is just too cute and I love the gated door! Your imagination is just incredible!

Poor Morris. A guy just can't have any fun. Thank goodness I've never had to deal with a dog that has been skunked - smells bad enough when one just walks by. And hooray! Our cold snap has passed and we're going to be up to very close to zero for the next few days.
