I gave my DD a hand pieced, hand appliqued, hand quilted blue ribbon bed quilt. Then she got s dog and two cats. When she sent the picture of them piled on top of the quilt I couldn't help myself. I asked her to turn the quilt over while I made a soft throw of faux fur to cover it with. The next winner, a white wholecloth with channel trapunto all hand stitched went to my sister. She returned it recently after her incontinent dog stained it and the quilting was ruined by frequent washing in the machine. Now I just sell them and never see them again or worry about them!
