If you follow my e-newsletters, you may remember that we lost our beloved young dog Rosie about a month ago. Last week our 10 yr old golden Leo had surgery to remove tumors. If you are an animal lover, as we are, you will understand the stress this has brought to our household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we lost Rosie, our Leo was so sad and lonely. We decided to search for a rescue dog who would be a good fit for our household. When we found her, she was in Texas in a foster home. It took a few weeks to get all the paperwork done and arrange for her transport. We got her last Friday. She was a stray so we don’t know her history, but she is 1-2 years old, and a total sweetheart. River is a black brindle gorgeous gentle mutt. We love her. Leo loves her too, and she is giving him space during his recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t just love domestic animals. We love wild animals also. My wolf-themed<\/a><\/strong> quilt “Invisible Borders<\/a><\/strong>” is in the Soul Stories exhibit that just opened at the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, Massachusetts. It is open through July 18. If you are in the area I hope you can stop by to see this group of art quilts with powerful messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning I got a text from a quilter friend as she was checking in for surgery at an area hospital. She was greeted by my quilt “Stardust Mothers<\/a><\/strong>” in the reception area, and sent me a photo. That made my day, knowing my work is hopefully a comfort in that space. This quilt is traveling with the SAQA Balance exhibit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow the SAQA fundraiser starts and if you take a look, you’ll see my small donated quilt “Resist” when you scroll down to “L” for Luana. I hope it raises a bunch of money for SAQA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
