Arrrrr - Matees.. Prepare to place your Mug, HERE!

My old friend has recently had his eyelid sewn shut so that he could regain his license after having double vision due to an inoperable, benign, eye tumour.  Being a man's man, his inability to drive, had a massive impact on his social life, let alone the demands of his job, being a Community Services Training Counsellor.  
I quipped that he would have to invest in a large stock of frilly white shirts, and get a parrot as a pet - and that he would always be my own personal Pirate.
Of course, with his birthday coming up - I felt he would appreciate this whimsical mug-mat.  I know that he will not be offended, but will accept it with the friendship and love that it is given.
I've not picked up any cross-stitch this week... might have to remedy that, tomorrow.

CHOOKIE QUILT - HOT OFF THE NEEDLE ! ! ! ! !

Here it is...hot off the needle.

Chookie Quilt in all it's glory! I'll have to iron it, but I think I will enter it in next weekend's quilt show. It's not perfect and the corners don't quite match up, but it's pretty funky to me!

Here is the little patch I stitched to the back of the quilt. I've not made it into a wall hanging, as it turns out to be just the right size to fit into my little car.

Join me in Happy Dancing!!!!
