I'm not a computer


This morning the great MT asked me about the bucking bronco from the John Wayne quilt. She wondered how i'd done it. So, I want to clarify that I made that. No computer sewed that using a program, I sewed it. I found a picture of a cowboy and taped it to my bookcase. Using it as a kind of inspiration I sewed it freehand, I usually wouldn't even have done that but animals are kind of hard for me, I have to watch to make sure that their necks aren't too long, or their legs are in proportion and have the right depth. That being said, no freehanded image is perfect. Here's the outhouse as an example.
