I know just how you feel! I seriously feel that Pip rescued me and not the other way around. She was a mess and fearful too, but when I picked her up and pet her head, her face transformed into such a look of sheer bliss that my hubby made his "you have no choice but to keep her" face with the wiggling eyebrows. She's still an utter affection hog. The rescue people told us that her mother was a mini schnauzer and they thought her father was a yorkie. The dogs were all split up when the Humane Society did their raid and dispersed to whatever shelters could take them in. I keep her fur trimmed short because it grows out so patchy that she looks like a wildebeast if when it starts to get long.

Thanks Brenda - your Miss Daisy caught my heart right away too.

Brenda and Nancia you are both too goofy squabbling over Krystyna's quilt, when she told you all along she is going to keep it. :p

This heat IS deadly... I keep wondering how the wild creatures are coping in it. Make sure your husband takes extra precautions Krystyna - that is pretty scary how he was yesterday. At the very least a case of heat exhaustion! My DD had a job in research and just read a study that the very best drink to have when you have been working hard in the heat is NOT Gatorade, but cold chocolate milk.

Last October, they took 1500 quilts to the HQS in Houston where they are all marked down for sale and they sold like hotcakes! The ones that don't sell @ auction or online, the quilters at Houston get a chance to buy them at reduced prices (not sure if that's 25% off, 50% off or any and all for $10). They sell quicker when you can actually see them in person. I believe it's in November when they'll be doing it this year. Someone will love your great mini! :o

Chocolate milk? I'm not telling him that. We're both on diets. However, I might tell my son since he works in a hot kitchen and can stand to gain a pound.

Love the story about Pip. She so adorable! Hmmmm. Someone should organize a puppy quilt swap! (Not me!)

This has been a crazy month for me, I haven't had much time to get on the computer. I think I'll be taking next month off from the swap so I can catch up on things here.

I had to stop by to share the quilt I received from psychomomquilter, the fabric has lovely bright summer flowers and cutest little ladybugs sewn on! She also sent a wonderful little pin cushion, also topped with a ladybug! Thank you so much for the quilt and pin cushion!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]343705[/ATTACH] of course, being one, his first reaction was to chew on the pin cushion to test the quality :)

I finished your quilt about a week ago but have not been able to get to the Post Office!!!! I am hoping tomorrow I will get there, if not it will happen on Saturday! I am *almost* finished with my 2nd partner's quilt, just a little more quilting and the binding. I'll send it out next week!
