Years ago I deployed for Desert Storm and I had to leave my puppy with my mom....I understand that far too well. My mom fell in love with her and I found it so hard to take her back once I returned. I knew my mom would take good care of her and she would take care of my mom...so I left her with my mom after my return. I was sad for months but every time I went back home, they were both there to greet me at the door. I now have a very independent cat that in cat lives is 84 years old....she is so precious...but getting very old.
Thanks again for the information. I appreciate that I have been looking for that book for a long time. I have a friend that wants to make the quilt and I could wing it but I thought I'd buy her the book and we could both make one together and chat while we quilt.
You have a great day quilting and glad to hear your DD made it home safe and sound!
