Dog gone it!!!!

I actually got something accomplished.  I took my block from the dachshund pattern to work on over at QC's (Quilting Connection) http://iaquilts.com/ mini retreat, friday afternoon.  I had cut out the background fabric, the pattern ease, traced the shapes on to it, and cut out the dog.

I spent about 4 hours there sewing the little guy on.  Didn't get it finished then but spent time off and on doing it over Saturday and Sunday.  I then sewed on the collar.

After I got that cut out and sewed on, I moved on to the ear.

I then moved on to the flower.  I did not like sewing on the flower.  All those curves make me nervous.

I thought it turned out pretty good but felt it needed something more. I went to Joanne Fabrics and bought a package of brightly colored buttons that are about the size of a small pea.  Was gonna sew one in the center of the flower on it's butt.

Then my mother pointed out to me that I sewed everything on to the wrong side of the fabric. Not sure if it would bother many people, but it really bugs me.  My mom said 'Oh don't worry about it, no one will notice.' I notice, if it wasn't intended as a gift, it probably wouldn't bother me so much.

So needless to say, I'll be redoing it the right way.  Maybe it will be easier the 2nd time around.
