Sometimes I wonder how I decided to stitch along with this quilt. Though I admit that I've learned some things and been challenged.

I believe she feels treasured and loved here in our home. After she came from a situation of abuse and neglect, we began to see her blossom. She has not overcome all the challenges she faced from the early years but she is such a good Airedale.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-30621542190701561522019-01-12T21:30:07.104-05:002019-01-12T21:30:07.104-05:00Thank you, Janet.
