A close friend's daughter was going on her daily walk with one of her dogs. While they were out enjoying the secenery the dog fell to the ground and died instantly and the girl had to carry her dead fur baby back to the house.
The vet said that it was a heart attack, the dog was only 5 yrs of age. Anyway, her mom told me that she liked to curl up on the couch with both dogs and snuggle into a blanket which I was told is very old, worn and has rips and tears in it. I am making this quilt (mom knows) for her and hopefully she will see fit to use it with her remaining dog. (pictur of the top which iI finished this morningis is below) My question is this....do you think it would be a good idea or not to include something about her deceased fur baby. She gave me a picture of him and I could transfer it on to fabric and sew it on the back with the name and dates of birth and death? Thanks for you opinions! |
Beautiful quilt. Perhaps you could needle turn applique picture label onto back of finished quilt so she can remove if upsetting. I also would omit dates. Picture and name is perfect.

Beautiful quilt and I do think you should include the photo of the deceased pet. I made my sister a quilt with all her old and current pets and it meant so much to her to have a tangible memory of her beloved "friends."

Beautiful quilt!!
Hmmmmmm...... I think it would be nice to have a picture on the back. |
I would definately add it!

I started crying, how awful. How sad.
Beautiful quilt and I know she will shed many tears while curled up in it, but also will heal. Yes, I think a picture added to the label would be appropriate. Maybe add the Rainbow Bridge poem to it. |
I agree about adding the pic and name of her fur baby. Great idea, so sad about the heart attack.

Picture, yes, but separately from any label with quilt info; name, maybe; dates and poem, no. 'A picture speaks a thousand words' after all.

What a great thing you are doing. Her mother knows her best and I would take her advise in the reminder?
