Working on another quilt...

Here's part of a new quilt that I'm working on.  It's a Halloween quilt.  It's in the same pattern as the last one, just different fabric. 




Amuse-bouche:

To all of you who shared similar experiences with the veterinarians you use in your hometown, cheers to you!!!
I would have loved to have been a vet but didn't have the confidence earlier in my school years to do it. I took some vet tech classes for a few years at a local community college about 5 years ago.  I enjoyed getting up close to animals that I never had the opportunity to.  I was able to get the temperature (yes, rectally) on a cow and pig.... a 600 lb pig.  I also was able to extract blood from the jugular vein on a cow which only a few students could do because the vein rolls away (it's hard to pin down).  It was totally cool.  Here's a photo of me holding a skink who was taking a poop (and I was not aware of it, as you can see in the photo with me smiling broadly).

Yes, I found my external drive  (with photos from as far back as 2005) so now you will be flooded with old photos in the coming months.  Here is a photo of me in front of James Herriot's vet office in Yorkshire.

  1. LOVE your quilt! Mainly cause it's Hallowe'en themed and I adore the fabrics you are using! Do you sell these or just make them for a lucky few?

    You're a sewing machine girl! Now that doesn't sound right...you're a machine with your sewing! LOL! You should go into business with your quilts!

  7. Is that fabric glow in the dark?? Too cool.
    Also you would've made a great vet...except for having to see cats. Wish you'd take more vet tech classes - I sure enjoyed the stories you told about your projects and such.
