Midnight Snack Complete!!!!

Well the midnight snack is complete now. Binding is on and it is quilted. Yippee!! We got to sleep under it for the first night. And let me tell you it was good. I didn't get sucked into the duvet. I was sure glad to get rid of that. That was the best part. Funny thing is it didn't cause me to have that midnight snack that everyone was warning me about. Didn't even need that bottle of tums. :)

This thing is huge!! 120X120. We wanted it large so it would cover the entire California king size bed and the pillows. It worked great. Totally love it. After I had it quilted my mom decided that we needed matching pillow cases. So she made us matching pillow cases. What fun is that. Mom's are the best aren't they? I sure love her and It was a great idea. So here they are. One matching set in flannel like the backer. One set with different patterns for each of us. Like his and hers.
This picture shows a bit of the backer. Yes, That is the midnight snack. Flannel for extra softness.


And last but not least the final on the bed view.

Dalmatian!

Dalmatians blast from my past. Remembered this when I was at my mother-in-laws house the other day. decided to get a picture of it to post. This was done by me in 1996. It is counted cross stitch. I haven't done any counted cross stitch in a while. But this one is still one of my favorites. My mother in-law has had many dalmatians in the past and she just loves them. And who couldn't resist the white and black spots. Very active and fun loving dogs for sure. Just thought I would post this old creation from my past.
