Still working on "Jack"

Thanks to kind Susan who sent me an e this morning to say my blog was missing pictures - again.  What is with that? Anyone know why?  Since it is daylight, I retook the pictures and redid my blog.  I didn't change the text, so it might be a little askew. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had to give up all night sewing some years ago.  And now I am going to have to give up all day sewing. I just need to start my projects earlier and work in shorter spans of time. I have the Tylenol bottle sitting on my breakfast (read "anytime") table along with a bottle of water.  Old, tired muscles.  Groan!

I promised that tonight I would show you the changes in "Jack".  These are not great images because I took them inside when it was already getting dark.  I couldn't take them outside due to the heat.  ONLY 100F today (and 80F at 11 tonight).  I had to go out about 4pm to bring in the trash cans and I thought I was a goner.  When I came in I had a little 20 minute snooze, which helped, but I have just felt puny the rest of the day. 


You see above that I moved the tree to the left side so the bat wasn't covered and added a little rickety fence in place of the tree. I used a variegated cotton thread to quilt it and, as usual, like the look.

 "Jack" still needs a binding and a sleeve. I have the label made, ready to hand sew on.
By-the-way, the light bats are grey, not pink.  What did I say about the images?
