Gratitude 11, a Top , and maybe my dogs ;-)

 Happy Veterans Day!



"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter the words, but to live by them. " - JFK  Photo - my back yard in the morning


and onto the TOP!!! So these blocks were donated by Sew Downtown - the Quilt shop in Greeley, and they are so striking. I have  presentation coming up to a Motorcycle Veteran and I thought of this panel - and got to playing....


Its a really simple way to use these blocks - but I think it is so striking!! I hope the Motorcycle Vet will LOVE it!!  I have a few months, so I am pretty proud of myself for starting early! 

and now DOGS!! we got hit with a snowstorm!!! Southern CO got it worse than I did, but!! it was still so fun to take the pups out in it!! They had a blast!!


Ms Bella Bean - giving me the evil eye - as I am holding the ball as a bribe.
That also works for Daisy Doolittle.... but she is Very INTENT!!



And look!! I can walk them together ( sort of) now!!
You will notice they both have muzzles. 
Daisy sometimes gets the notion she should nip at Bella, who thinks that means its roll on the ground and rough house time. So the muzzles! Saves us all. It actually makes them a tad calmer, and less interested in each other. 


I have been able to successfully walk them together for 4 days now - not every walk, cuz they need their play time - but you all - My heart is SO happy!!! I can get them both ready by myself now, and we can go out!!  We are still working on being in the same room together, but - its getting BETTER!! I am so happy - and so worn out... Quilting truly is keeping me sane haha!

PS - when comments come thru I have mostly had email addresses to reply - the past few days ( or a week) Everyone is coming thru as a no reply blogger... do you know what changed?

Your back yard view is heaven! The doggies are both so pretty. The quilt is stunning.

Love the QOV, those blocks are really striking and work so well with the panel. Very cute doggies. I'm jealous you got snow, but just a little. I posted a question to the Blogger technical support page. The only response I've gotten is that Blogger has never included the email addresses in the comments sent to email, they have always shown up as no-reply. We all know that's not true, but that's all I've gotten to date.

Alycia the motorcycle veteran will love that quilt. I have used that panel at least 4 or 5 times. I haven’t been able to find it in the quilt shops any longer. So glad your fur babies are getting along better.

The QOV will be just the ticket (to use an old phrase) for the biking veteran! Love the dog photos. Still warm temps here.

The motorcycle panel quilt is fantastic!!!! I'm glad the dog are progressively getting along better. Maybe that is what some politicians need>! lol

That is a stunning quilt. <3 And, YES! Blogger has changed something on the comments and I cannot reply via emails. Frustrating...

Great quilt for a biking vet. He will love it for sure. Dogs need time to adjust just like people do (ok similarly how people need). Blogger evidently don’t know what it does. Did you update your operating system recently? What I do if I don’t get the comments emailed to me Iis go to my blog and click on each commenter’s name. It takes me to their blog’s profile page. On the left side it gives their name and an email I can mail my response to them. It is a little clunky but it does work. Hope this helps.

I really love that QOV, and showed it to a couple of our group members yesterday while we were together. We have a few of those blocks and this is a great way to use them. Your fur babies are sure cuties!!
