Hi all.
Unfortunately, Cowboy did indeed pass away, Sunday evening.
I'm just heartbroken. Whenever I was home, he was right there with me - in the sewing room lying on some leftover batting scraps (or even on the pedal to the sewing machine!), or at the foot of my bed during the night (he usually ended up under the covers against my chest) or riding with me in the car. In the evenings when I get home from work, he'd be running to greet me, as if to say "You're Finally home!!"
He was my buddy, my baby, my BFF.
I told hubby "no more dogs - it's just too hard to lose them"... and I've had dogs all my life. It just seems harder as we get older.
The third little bag I made sold today... and I've had a couple more people stop by, looking at the large lap quilt. It would be nice if it sold by Friday.
I stopped at Wal-Mart this weekend, and grabbed the teddy bear pattern that I keep seeing people post for making "memory bears". I was a very, Very good girl, and resisted buying any fabric (I got the pattern and turned around and left that area of the store!!)
Massdrop has a deal going on Quilters Dream Wool - once they get so many "committed buyers", it drops to an amazing price. Here's their link (
https://www.massdrop.com/r/SFJHKV ), just scroll down until you see it offer. The bundle (1 Queen, 2 crib) retails for about $80, if enough people are interested, it drops down to $45. I buy there every now and then - usually for QD batting. They also have all kinds of other stuff too. I'm getting the package with 1 Queen and 2 Twin batts for about $55.
No sewing tonight, but I did get quite a bit done on a UFO over the weekend. Not finished, but closer to finished.
