old beast .... new beast

I started my December journal quilt with a woven background

all in dark blues : the night sky ...

Then I started with the biggest star,

the one that will have 

a spiral heart 

but :

not now!

This is my latest project that HAS to be finished tomorrow :

an old "beast" of Jude's Patchwork Beasts Class 

which I followed this summer.

I made two similar pieces in pale yellow and white

but I didn't know very well how to continue

so they were still lieing about

waiting for Inspiration ! 

A very vague idea for a present was all that was needed.

Some days ago I finally started : about time !!!

(but sometimes pressure works great for me)

A lot of TEETH were needed !

For this will be a present for our dentist, who is retiring from practice.

( I don't like to go to the dentist : there's always some kind of trouble

but ...

HE took away my greatest fear for dentists looooong ago ! )

At first I thought it would be a dog ....

... but then it turned out to be a horse !

You see ? Even the magic thread is already in place !!!

There is still a LOT of stitching to be done

so :

I BETTER GET ON WITH IT !
