PLEASE PRAY FOR CHARLIE

Here he is...the love of my life. Charlie the Adorable. The most loving little guy ever. Charlie has tumors that the vet says "don't look good". He will have surgery soon. I am terrified...

Charlie is unimpressed with his diagnosis...I freak out...he sleeps...

Please pray for Charlie. He's the ultra-cute guy who's always at my feet. Please pray for me too. I'm the one with the breaking heart...

MESSAGE FROM CHARLIE AND LOLA, THE WONDER DOGS!

Charlie and Lola are my little wonder dogs! They love the sign they got for Christmas which shows their Wonder Dog status to the world. Both are rescues--Lola from a horrible puppy mill and Charlie from being tied up in someone's back yard (click on their pictures to read their stories). Charlie and Lola are loved by everyone who meets them. They are very grateful for their rescue!

I wanted to show you a list of some of the companies that do animal testing. I won't distress you with the details but things these companies do to helpless animals are very, very bad. Please take a look at this list and decide if you want to continue to buy products from these companies. Lola and Charlie could have both ended up at the pound and could have been picked up by these companies for research. We will never knowingly sell any fabric that has had dye testing on animals.

Now I'll get down off my soapbox and remind you to enter our Giveaway for FREE fabric! We will always have a giveaway going! Fun and prizes! As Charlie would say, "Woot" and I say thank you for letting me share somthing that weighs on my heart!

YET ANOTHER BABY QUILT - LILY POND!

I've been back in the quilt studio--something about having another grandbaby puts me in the mood to made baby quilts. Here's the latest little utility quilt - nothing fancy but large enough to cover the car seat and still wrap around the baby (who is going to arrive around October 5th) or to put on the floor for baby to play on. It seems like it's difficult to find bigger quilts and blankets for baby. This little "Around the World" quilt was made with Lily Pond pinks which we sell in our store, 44th Street Fabric. I love the colors and I wish I was better with the camera and the colors. I also made a little bed for Charlie and Lola out of Goth Baby blue flannel. Charlie is hogging the bed but I'm glad he's enjoying it. I'm going to try to get the other two quilt tops quilted for the baby and maybe make some bibs, etc. with the scraps. So fun to have an excuse to play in the quilt studio!
