This is a quilt for Camp Mitchell, the Episcopal Church camp in Arkansas. It is the first one I quilted on my new frame with my mid-arm machine. My ideas were past my skill level! I quilted in Christian symbols in the dark blocks. The other blocks are from my Biblical quilt block book.

I had help from my 8 dogs. Mr. Big, the retriever, and the two puppies, Goofers Malone and George Clumsby, were the biggest "helpers."

Now that this quilt is done I can finish my taxes and mow the yard.

It looks like you have a Mr. Big of your own. I try to keep the dogs out of my sewing area. Mr. Big likes to lie at my feet. The puppies destroyed a roll of batting one Sunday morning when I left my SIL in charge while my daughter and I went to church. All but one of my 8 dogs were dumped on the road or rescued.
