Jill says this is an easy pattern, but it doesn't look easy to me. Maybe I am just a chicken

God bless, I know the little guys are watching from heaven. Your quilt will warm your friend from the heart out.
thank you. I miss my pets so much...I still cry everyday. I could hear my one kitty crying out from under the couch. But I couldn't get to her. That still haunts me. Spent 7 weeks in the hospital from my burns. 4 days on life support. Didn't realize that until today. Doctor told me. But I have a "new" buddy. She is a Chi-weenie" 12 lbs. Part chihuahua and part dachsund. Bundle of loving energy.
She is named after one the fireman that saved me. His name is Michael...so she is named Michaela. Just a bouncing ball of happiness. She is a rescue. I still cry for original "puppy" but she takes the sting out of it. God gave us pets for a reason. I believe that.

Today I went to the adult center. I donated a sewing machine that was hand delivered to me by a total stranger. They set it up in a nice little setting. asked me if I could organize it and tell them exactly what they should need. I was honored. Mary Ann was there, of course. She always goes in for a nap when she's there. Come to find out..the quilt was still there. I asked her why she didn't take it home. She said she has a live-in caregiver who sneaks odd women in her house. She is afraid they will find the quilt and use it for one of their nasty love making sessions. OMG! But I told her the quilt is hers to do whatever she wants. If she is more comfortable leaving it at the center and taking her naps with it..so be it. But I did tell I love her so much....and every time I would sit to sew, I could just see her smiling face. That this was truly a quilt made with love. I looked up and the aide that works there that was feeding Mary Anne...was crying. That made me cry and then Mary Ann cried. Love is a wonderful thing.
