Stash Report

I have done a little sewing lately.  I have my Jo Morton's Little Women Club quilt done.  I just need to finish sewing down the binding which I will do tonight at quilt guild.  I quilted it on my Bernina with out the stitch regulator.  It was the first time that I had tried to do it with out it.  I could use some practice.  I used a whole yard for this quilt.  I'm working on some blocks but I'm not counting them until I get the blocks completed.

Sad Day

I'm sorry that I haven't written in a while but I have been spending time with Kira, our German shepherd.  We found out at Christmas time that she had cancer.  She had been doing great.  I was so happy to see her so active and playful.  Last Thursday, she stopped eating.  I took her to the vet and we changed her medication.  She seemed to feel better but still would not eat.  We went back to the vet and they gave her a shot to help her stomach stop jumping.  She still would not eat.  Yesterday morning she stopped drinking too.  Very hard to call the vet and let them know that she had given up.  We took her in for one last time and said our goodbyes to her.  It was very hard coming home to the two boys.  They have been looking for their girl.
Kira was a very active girl and didn't like to take no as an answer.  She is out of pain now.  I will miss my girl.

 Her favorite place to sleep - our bed.
