a rat, a quilt, wild dogs, the williamsburg bridge, some testers

We are on our way to finishing up all the making for The Cactus Duet.  We encountered a few hurdles, and had to make things over.  The first rat became a tester; we tried sawdust, fabric and charcoal to replicate fur.  None of those materials were used in the end, but we still like the first rat... so much so that Tara posed with it pretending to feed it some wood shavings, delicious!  We are super excited about the quilt.  One side is a mountain scene, and the other is an industrial city scene.  It's all coming together and we're trying some new things that we are feeling positive about.  More to come soon!
