Progress

I finished Clue 5. Even with the wonderful celebrations and houseguests, I managed. The reason though is tough. We lost one of our family members this last week. The only thing I could do last Friday without crying was sew. And I did.

 
The fabric at the top is my inspiration fabric, It might end up as a border or backing. I am making mine larger, between a queen and king, however the math works out.

Our dog, Chloe, is again running free of pain. She was sick in November and had surgery. The diagnosis was an aggressive cancer. The prognosis was 4 - 5 months. We had 5 weeks. There must have been more in her body that they could not see. She enjoyed having a houseful of people to see the Vikings play and was her usual social self. Right after everyone left, things went downhill fast and by Thursday we had made the decision to stop her pain.  She is gone from the earth but forever in our hearts.

 

 Our other dog Lucy, is missing her too!

Linking up with the Mystery Link Up at Quiltville.

As Always,

Deb

    So sorry about your little Choe! It was a bad year for my children also. They all had to let pets go but there are all the fond memories. Sympathies to you and have a good 2018.

    You too Beth! It is hard but we know that in most cases we outlive them and it is worth it! Again, glad to see you back!
