Foods that are toxic to your pets

Just a few websites that contain information to help us keep our furry companions safe and healthy by not sharing some of our foods with them.  They not only tell you what not to feed them, they also tell you the signs your pet will exhibit if they have eaten something they shouldn't!

A Little About Customer Service

A few months ago I bought a kit from The Enchanted Quilt.  It was a pre-cut kit and I have never tried one of them before - now I am totally a fan!!!  It was for a quilt that was from a shop hop and they bought the extra block packets from the other quilt shops and put them together into a kit.  Well, we all know what happens when many people cut blocks...yep, some fabric was missing and some that needed to be cut in a single layer were not so unless I was willing to use the back of the fabric in my block, I needed more/different fabric.  I gave them a call to let them know what had happened and to see if I could get the lovely pink and white polka dot material missing from the one block - I looked everywhere for this fabric with no luck!  Well, the apologized all over the place, sent me the polka dot material, 2 black and white fabrics (matching what was already in the packets) and a solid black so I could finish my blocks.  They also included cutting directions for the blocks that had problems, a fat quarter of cute pink with mini flowers and a note apologizing again!!!  I highly recommend them for the quality of their fabrics and their awesome customer service!!!  I will be back!!!!!  http://www.theenchantedquilt.com/

Finished quilting a quilt for my MIL

Finally finished quilting a quilt for my mother-in-law today!  She cross-stitched 30 17.5" squares and put them together for a 105"x85" quilt.  I'm taking it to her tomorrow and I'll take a picture of it then!  It was marked for hand quilting but she didn't want to do that since the blue dots won't wash out and her hand quilting thread is too thin to hide them at all.  I'm still seeing blue dot-to-dot!!!

Took a bit of a break from quilting last evening and went for a ride on my beloved Skippy!

I'M A WINNER!!!

|I participated in the "Think Christmas" blog hop and won 6 fat quarters AND the book Christmas Cats and Dogs from Linda Alexander of http://living4quilting.blogspot.com/!  How lucky can a quilter get???  There are 21 different patterns in this wonderful book and now I'm busy figuring out which project to make with my fabulous fat quarters!!!  Thank you so much, Linda - I love it all!!!!!
