This pattern reminds me a lot of a scene I experienced over 14 years ago with my beloved dog Django. I wanted to create a raised bed at the end of my pond and had to transport some bales of earth in a wheelbarrow. Django, who was still a young dog at the time, was very sporty and of course jumped up on the top of the earth and enjoyed it very much. After that, I could see that he was treating us a little condescendingly. So I will definitely stitch this pattern as a reminder of the good times with our baby. Maybe I'll succeed in converting the depicted dog into a border collie.
Love the pattern. Fast shipping.
Love Helping in the Coneflowers. I want to do the series on one piece of fabric. Can’t wait to see what the third chart will be. I hope it’s a Yorkie in the petunias.
