Woof!

it's hard to see the bone button on the rosette
click on the photo to enlarge it
That's dog for Happy Birthday!  Who doesn't like our furry friends?  I'm always skeptical of people who don't like dogs, if they've been bitten or have allergies I can understand but I don't know how anyone else can resist a furry face.  As you can imagine most of my buddies have dogs and/or cats.  So, I've got a card ready to go for the next one's birthday.  Yeah for forethought and planning, two things I seldom do.

There's not much to point out about this card except for the stitching on the cross element.  My little sewing machine punched out, and I can't seem to fix it which meant I had to break down and get the big guns out.  So I hefted my trusty old Bernina out and decided to try one of the preset stitches, a double "x" or a quadruple zig zag not quite sure what you'd call it but it turned out to look pretty good.
don't forget the inside
