Omg, Janice . Do you have a bulldog? My dd is insane about them. Tell me about your fur baby and the wip on the floor. I hope your sister is recovering well from her surgery, and the family is holding together.
Can't wait to get going on the blocks! This girl needs thinking time, lol.

Nancia, she's a pitbull and the biggest baby on Earth. She's a bit over 2 years old. We've had her about 15 months but have known her since she was 8 weeks old. She's crazy for frisbee and any tuggy games. She's sweet and gets along well with my old dog but she's afraid of my cat who really runs the house. She was my son's pup but when he had a job transfer to CA, he couldn't take her so we snatched her up and will never let her go. (My other son has what we think is a half bulldog, half boxer. He's a gentle giant.) The wip she's "helping" with is a bunch of depression blocks from the monthly quilting bee swap on this board. My partners have been making them all this year. A few more months and some side swaps, and I'll have enough to start putting them together. I'm crazy for scrappy blocks and these depression blocks from Quilter's Cache hit all the right notes with me. Thanks for asking about both dog and wip!

Swappers, since f8s are on the way, be sure to go to the gallery to check that your fabric is there along with any color requests you may wish to add. Often, more detailed instructions will come with the f8s so if in doubt, be sure to rely on the written instructions with the f8s. The gallery is more for ID purposes.

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year! (Only 14 minutes to go here in the East!)

My DD is obsessed with Pitbulls. She has a red, Hennessey, and wants to get a blue nose. There is such controversy about them, but hers is also a "gentle giant". Torments my old dog and isn't sure what to do with my cat. She is smart and just stays away. LOL Pits aren't allowed in our park and that ticks her off, so she brings him over once in a while. Makes me a wreck!! I love him to pcs, but don't want to get kicked out!! LOL Just love our pets, don't you?

I had a pit/lab mix that i adored, but my dh was never comfortable with him. He was 65 lbs of muscle and totally ruled by a 5 lb cat! Granted, the cat was a brat, and even the kids gave her wide berth! His name was Cadbury , and as sweet as the chocolate, too. Now i have equally mushy cocker spaniels. Gotta have my snuggle buddies!

My son had a brindle pit who was scared to death of the beagle his girlfriend had. The gentlest dog you could ever want. Of course Boonville decided pits were dangerous so were not allowed in the city limits. I illegally had him for 5 years till one of my "new nice neighbors" decided they didnt want him in my back yard so called the dog catcher. Marbles had an open sore on his head and the vet said it was cancer so we had him put to sleep instead of letting them kill him because he was a "pit".

My 8 year old granddaughter drew a picture of my son on poster board for Christmas, holding a "card"...when you opened the card on the picture there was a bright red heart where my sons heart would be...when you opened the heart she had drawn a picture of Marbles on it...talk about a tear jerker...my son and I both cried..my daughter in law just shook her head at us but I could tell she was moved too! We have his ashes in my sons house, trying to decide what to do with them.Its SO unfair to label dogs by breed...its what the owner makes them! When I was a kid it was german shepards, then dobermans, then rots...now pits..wonder what will be next??? So sad.
