I agree with Jan in VA, you have a very special friend.

How totally awesome. Let me brush these tears from my eyes so I can look again. That is so absolutely precious. I feel very much like I did when we knew Annie was on her way to OSU. Just precious. Such a wonderful thing to do and so well done. She knows your heart and was able to put that feeling into a long lasting treasure.
Thank you MI Late. So nice.

Awe, how sweet can you get? This is beautiful and something you'll have to treasure and remember Dusty forever! So sorry about Dusty. Sending hugs!

This wonderful quilt speaks a thousand caring words. Warms the heart just looking at it.

AWWWW! That is very sweet and thoughtful!

BluegrassGurl 07-23-2011 04:41 AM

How thoughtful!

I can understand your loss.... we just lost one of our horses.... "Rose".... age 32 yrs. My husband had her since she was 2. Deeply felt loss.

Yes.... there are still good and thoughtful people in this world.... and many of them are right here on QB! ;-)

Lost one to old age and infirmities (Shoshone) so I certainly know your heartache and sadness. That is a beautiful tribute to Dusty from a caring friend. Large frame - pictures of you and Dusty and this sweet quilt as the centerpiece - as a collage.

On May 21st my beloved 28 year old horse, Dusty, had to be put down.

Once again, I am amazed at the kindness, thoughtfullness & generosity of the special group of people gathered here on the Quilting Board. Day after day it is reaffirmed for me that there are lots of good people out there with giving hearts & souls.

Thank you, M.I. Late & Quilting Board members

O'M'Gosh! That is just adorable! I remember what you were going through and how sad you were. I felt so bad that you had to go through that and wished I could have done something to make it better. I am so glad M.I.Late did that for you. We are all such empathetic people on here. I remember getting such wonderful support when my Gus went through his long haul of recovering from ACL surgery last winter. It is so great to have you all for "friends". I am sure everyone feels the same way.

I agree with minnesewta-sam - I think framing this is the best way to preserve such a special gift. It is beautiful. Hang it so everyone can see it.

jaciqltznok 07-23-2011 05:36 AM

thanks for the tearing up...how absolutely beautiful inside and out....thank you for sharing!

Donna P 07-23-2011 06:08 AM

Great idea.

Murphy1 07-23-2011 06:22 AM

A gift from the heart. Quilters are special people. Thanks for sharing your story and your tribute.

Gerbie 07-23-2011 06:30 AM

Such a nice and kind gesture to a friend. I absolutely love the silhouette in the center. I love silhouettes, have a darling studio made pic. of DD when she was about 5, with a sideways head silhouette and her facing forward in color in the center of the silhouette. I wouldn't take a million dollars for that pic. It is just darling.
You have a good friend there, keep up your friendship.
