Happy Dancing With Bears

Dancing in the moonlight for you and the bears, Pat!

I really like Bears Paw - what colors is yours done in?

Good for you, Pat! Gosh, finishing a UFO that old is a real accomplishment! :)

The four blocks all have gray background. The 'paws' are all dark colors: blue, green, brown, burgundy. The various borders are mostly red or white with those colors. I have to say the gray is dreadful ... that microdot stuff we all used in the eighties. I decided to play it up instead of trying to play it down, by using a rayon vari-toned gray thread for MQ. That really helped bring it together. In two areas, I quilted some tiny bear paws within the meandering pattern. Fun. All in all, an okay project. It will be a lovely table topper for Autumn use. PAT in Virginia PS: Is 'vari-tone' a word, or did I just coin a phrase?

Oh, there's probably another word for it, but who cares? I like vari-toned.

Amazing, isn't it, that something started 20 years ago would work today. Let's see, I think I was working in blues and mauves about that time!

Happy Dancing for you Pat. I'm wondering. Is 20 years a record? It seems to me that this event really calls for more than dancing. How about a chocolate party? Polly

You buying? P

Well, sure. Everybody! Drinks are on me. Hot chocolate, chocolate milkshake, anything you please. Polly

"Pat in Virginia" You buying? P

Sounds lovely. Congrats on getting it out of the UFO pile and getting it finished.

Twenty years is most likely NOT a record. My friend is working on a UFO she started in 1976. At the DeWitt Wallace Museum in Williamsburg, Virginia, I have seen a UFO that dated to our Colonial Era!!

Thanks for the party, Polly! And thanks to everyone who danced and partied with us. ;) To paraphrase our good buddy Ragmop: "Finished is a Good Thing!"
