Sorry for your loss. You've made a beautiful quilt (are you SURE it's your first? ) and created a wonderful tribute.

And isn't it amazing how such a small animal manages to position themselves to occupy the biggest amount of space?
Love the quilt, and Leopold, too. :thumbup:

Sorry to hear of your loss. I know from experience how hard it is. There are always angels among us, and I'm glad Leopold is there for you. I'm still working on the quilts from my husband's shirts. Life keeps getting in the way.

So sorry for your loss. Neat that you made this as a special treasure for yourself! A beautiful quilt, and cute inspector!

What a great quilt! I'm sorry to hear of your loss, but the quilt will keep the memories close to you. Your quilt inspector is darling and I'm sure is a wonderful companion!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful tribute to Larry; his memory will be with you and Leopold as you snuggle in this beautiful quilt.

That is beautiful and sorry for your loss! Leopold must be my cats brother!

In case you're wondering, that's Leopold on the bed. An angel dropped him off at our doorstep about three months before Larry died. He has helped me though so much sadness and has given me back happiness as well.

Hope you all like.
