I was recently retreating and the hostess had a first aid kit with bleed stop. I was going to send you a picture but not sure how. It is a powder that is poured onto an injury. I have no idea if this is a standard feature, but with all the rotary cutters in use I think it would be a good addition. Excited for the mystery.

I am a busy Mom taking care of a very ill daughter and so many many times I have escaped to ramble the Blue Ridge Mountains with you and Sadie or wandered into the sewing room to podcast an the evening or sew with you two! I am so very very sorry for your loss. I have two dogs that are my constant companions and I often think that God has given Man dogs to gently remind us poor creatures of His constant love and willing compansionship if we but turn to Him. May your adventures be safe and joyful and may you know that this unknown quilter in California shares your loss.

At 45 he still delights in challenging me. Anyway, I found enough clean canvas from a drop cloth to use for top and back and raided my stash of felt scraps for the fill. Some of it I pieced like I do batting scraps and put that between the larger pieces to make 3 layers. My Bernina 730 with a jeans needle and 30 wt machine quilting thread successfully quilted all this heavy stuff together. Two long velcroed straps and I was pleased to receive his jaw-dropping grin when I delivered it. <br /><br />You probably wouldn't want to use canvas for the horse blanket -- maybe cotton upholstery fabric would work -- but the felt is my suggestion for an economic fill. Quilters can do anything! Good luck.barbara jahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831322544840147362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-82705375477994832982019-11-16T04:01:15.751-05:002019-11-16T04:01:15.751-05:00A lovely day to bring Sadie home.

I turn 70 next month and I still need to learn that lesson. Thank you for the sweet reminder!! I hope Sadie is up in Heaven running with the sweet pups I have lost through the years. With no children of my own, my dogs are my children and miss them all so very much!! Please have a wonderful weekend!! Breathe and think about those smart cows!!

Just as Sadie has passed on those we hold dear won't last forever either. Embrace each day as it comes and be sure to hug the ones you love and hold dear. We have a concrete paw print of our poodle Edison and a cross that marks the place we so lovingly buried him. He was 17 years old.
