:lol: :lol: :lol: yep...you got it ! Wendy !

Now, look what was in my mailbox today !! Nessy's friend came to stay !! Floating in an indigo lake !
Maureen's dye work is just beautiful !! This water dragon is no monster, what with hand
drawn scales and long, long eyelashes !! She's gliding under a silvery blue moon. Funny
thing...we've just had a real one !! I love it ! Thank you so much Maureen !!

I love Maureen's indigo lake and the green and red of "Nessy's friend" fit in so perfectly. Enjoy this beautiful mug rug, Marilyn!

[Maureen A.]

Glad you like it Marilyn as it was an experiment on what I could do with pieces left over from my Indigo pieces. With you being in amongst the fires, smoke and heat I thought a calming Nessie floating over to see you would keep you cool :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maureen, your indigo fabric is wonderful and you used it so well--congratulations.

[Charae H.]

Love both the indigo fabric and your creativity, Maureen! What a fun mug rug!

:mrgreen: Little departure from the topic.. :shock: Yesterday was "Wild Wooly Women" day at my LQS !!
That's fun for me as it is an outing to McCall..some 30 miles from home with a couple of friends
to sew on wool applique projects all afternoon. We sometimes have lunch and get a coffee and
just plain have a good day !! Well....The Fall issue of Better Homes and Gardens "Quilt Sampler"
is out and if you look on Page 40 There it is ! Our very own Huckleberry Patches !! Katie and
Lisa are just the best going !! Friendly , helpful and welcoming !! Of course I'm biased...who
wouldn't be ?? They are such good enablers !! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey my very close by quilt shop is also in the magazine! It is JEllen's House of Fabric in Lyndhurst Ohio. The most beautiful and bright store ever!

[E.M. T.]

WooHoo !! Ain't it fun ?!!

Beautiful mug rug Maureen - how clever, and such a pretty Nessy!

I received a beautiful mug rug from Maureen yesterday. It is so beautiful. I assume all the fabrics are hand-dyes Maureen? They are really beautiful and vibrant. The design is so appealing, the stitching is perfect with the design and the binding is 'class' as the kids would say here! I truly love it and thank you very much.

Here' a photo of the back - also beautiful:

And the card that came with it is a photo of a section of Phillipa Naylor's 'Daisy Quilt' - such a fantastic photo and quilt.

Sorry my camera made it a little darker than it should be, but you get the idea.
Many thanks Maureen.
