What 'cha lookin' for??

Debi,

I was in our basement the other night and going through some stuff I bought 12 years ago and came across something that I have no idea why I bought. It is a fabric with applique cut outs on it, and there are a couple of cats along with other things and may be even more cats I just tossed it back in the pile. Would you be interested in that? I if so email me and let me know and remind me that it is in the basement. LOL

Hi Jacqueline Holy Cow! Don't throw fabric away!! Someone can always use what you don't want or like, and our lovely Jill will take anything and everything that you just don't have any use for. She makes 100's of quilts for homeless cats and dogs and isn't the least bit picky about what comes her way. Here's her web address and you can go take a look.....

Now Patti,

Let me serious here a minute, if I have had fabric, which is probably in another post for 12 years, do you really think I would throw something away? Once I figure out what I am doing I am sure I have some fabric to send to her. I also want to make a quilt for my 3 acquired dogs, two of which were found under a rock on the mountain and were wild when they came here to live and now are as sweet as can be, then my Sugar is so short haired that she needs something warm. I have laughed today, we bought her a sweater and I figured she would fight and pull at it but she loved it, she pranced around all day wearing it. I am hoping my two mountain dogs move to their homes soon but as my dad said when my nephew said he was keeping them, well I guess you know we now have four dogs, 3 of which are my nephews.

I have lots of plans but just not the time to put them >Hi Jacqueline

Patti, I may have some limes. Email me your address please poo_de_dooatyahoodotcom. Be sure to mention limes.

I could use Japanese print fabric. I am making a garden path and need different fabrics for the bricks. Scraps are fine if they are either square or rectangular.

Thanks

I thought that extra hour was just for me special this year,---being as it comes on my 45th birthday! MAmadurk

Indeed! and I am truly grateful for that particular piece of timing >g< . In message , Roberta Zollner writes

I'm looking for someone else to do all my work so that I can do nothing but sew and catch up on all of my projects!

But I do work with a group making quilts for kids and babies in the local hospital, and I'm always willing to take fabrics for that, as well as cuddly flannels that we can use for the backing!

I'm also looking for a few extra hours sleep...but I don't think I'll get that until the baby starts sleeping through the night.

Let me know what you'd like in return and I'll send it back to you. Otherwise, I'll return mail the postage it takes to send me the piece.

Thanks! Sunny

Jacquel> Sunny,

Sunny, The babies are the mountain dogs, our neighbor found them under a rock and he brought them home and put them in a pen outside his house, the little girl, the one on the right, kept digging out and coming and hiding under our barn and my nephew, who lives right behind us, and of course on the wrong side of the tracks, because they live across the Rail Road tracks, too, kept taking he back. After a couple of days the little boy, ventured up to the barn too. Being they were so young it wasn't as hard to get them use to people, it took us two to three days to get them to come out from under it, when we finally did, Jay carried them back down to the neighbors and rang the door bell and asked if he could have them. LOL he is much braver than I am. Anyway, here Jay and the puppies came back, and the neighbor was right behind him carrying a bag of dog food.

Here are their pictures:

They have finally gotten use to us now that they no longer hang out at the barn but they now sleep under the steps to our house with the cat. This morning I went out to feed them and no one came out, first the cat, Ice-Cream, stuck his head out, and the pups were on both sides of her with their little heads stuck out and Sugar was in behind them all, of course Sugar is much bigger than the pups but I have a feeling they will be bigger than she is soon.

Yes they live outside, we have never had animals in our house and my cat is almost 15 years old now. They are very well taken care of though, we take them to the vet, they are or will be "fixed" so they can't reproduce, as was the cat. They do spend a lot of time in the house, but if it were left up to me they would move to their owner's houses and stay there and Sugar would stay in at my house, of course dad says no, but every time she is at the door he says you want me to let Sugar in or the puppies in. But when they are put back outside he says, you really shouldn't start that with those dogs, bringing them in the house and all. LOL I don't have the heart to tell him he was the one that let them in. But we also live in the country and they stay between mine and dad's house and my two sister's houses. They have about 12 acres of land and mountain land to play in and they love it. Just so you don't worry the Railroad tracks are no longer used so that isn't a problem having to worry about them getting hit by a train.

Just in case you didn't see her, here is Sugar's picture too, she is my very first dog to own in my life and I am 51 years old. My oldest sister always had a dog but I never had one, Ice-Cream the cat is also my first cat to have ever owned, but he really belongs to my nephew but he never took her home, so I just claim him, after paying all the food and vet bills for 15 years I think he is mine.

KJ, They are just dogs that were found in the mountains and since the neighbor didn't want them my nephew gave them a home at my house. I really do not need two more dogs to have to worry with. Between the dogs and my dad I have enough to keep me busy for a while and I want to learn to quilt, but it seems I have just been too, gosh should I admit it, depressed to do much of anything other than what I have to. Jacqueline in KY

That's okay, you can admit being depressed. Sometimes life gets in the way of things we want to do...and makes us do things we HAVE to do. Those puppies look like little St. Bernard's. And if they are...keeping them outside is a good plan! Take care of yourself. KJ

Your furry family are just gorgeous! They will be wonderful companions I am sure. I wouldn't be withoug my furry QIs.

Thanks for sharing the pics
