Fantastic work Mich! 8)
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Wow Nice work again Michelle, that is a nice rug, you know you are killing me here :hello:  :chuckle:

I bet it is killing you even more after I told you last night your Black Bear was just a really muddy Dark Chocolate with blond tips down it's back.  :chuckle:  I knew it was a chocolate after washing it when you dropped it off guess it was to muddy to see the blond highlights til i picked uit up from the tannery.

epq21 I just picked up your Bear from the tannery and ordered your pannel a few days ago.

Very nice mount as usual.  Do you ever get a mount that doesn't turn out to your standards or are you able to fix them all up pretty well?

You should see the charity case she took in last year.  The bear looked like it had been skinned with a hand grenade.. :chuckle:  She sewed, patched, stretched and pieced that thing back together into a fine looking rug.  I've never seen anything like it.

Pathfinder I agree that was a major transformation from nothing to a nice rug!!

You guys have to be talking about "Patches".  That thing was a mess but Bear repairs on the main body cover up pretty easy unless it is in the arm pits or flanks.
