Welcome to my quilting blog! My combined love of sewing and a degree in art brought me to quilting 25+ years ago. I love all the various styles quilting encompasses - art quilts, traditional, woolwork, etc. I have designed my own art quilts and patterns and also love traditional designs (especially needle-turn applique!) So come along on my journey and let's see what quilts we can create.

Losing a Family Member
Earlier this week, sadly, we lost Suzi.
Buddies
Nothing can describe the sadness of losing a beloved pet.
She was with us for 13+ years and we will miss her dearly.
Awww... So sorry to hear this, she was a beauty! Pets are such a big part of our lives and leave such an emptiness when they are suddenly gone. Treasure your memories, you have wonderful photos of her too!!
Our Miss Angel left us several years ago - I still hesitate before opening the door from the garage to the kitchen because she was ALWAYS there to meet me . . . sending hugs of understanding.
I am so sorry to read that you have lost your beloved family member, and yes they are true family members. We have had a number of doggie members over the years, kitties also and each time you lose one it is heartbreaking. They give unconditional love and companionship - treasure your memories.
Oh Debra! I'm so sorry for your loss!!!! Suzi looks like a wonderful friend and companion.
We have an 18-year-old kitty who will be leaving us soon - we're heart broken about it, but we also realize she is not feeling well and will be better off over the Rainbow Bridge. I know we'll see her again, and her sister Sable is waiting for her there :)
Yes, she was. Thank you for your kind words.. and sorry to hear you will be in the same situation soon. I know that Suzi is now with Sidney and Harriet.
Debra -- I know you are sad to have lost Suzi. Please accept my condolences. Don't have any pets of my own, but when my brother's dog had to be put sleep, I was heartbroken. I made him his own little quilt and he carried it around with him all the time. Eileen

ReplyDeleteJill, they really are our family. It's so hard when they leave us.

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about Suzi. Please take good care of yourself. Cats leave us with such strong physical memories which is truly a bittersweet blessing.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you lost Suzi. I don't know what I would do without my kitty cat.
