Last Quilt for 2016

Here is my last quilt for 2016.  It is called Wonky Stars from Missouri Star Quilt Company in their Block magazine.  It was fun to do, once I caught on to the technique!  It will go to Project Linus. We did 53 quilts for Project Linus this year.

Wishing you a Blessed 2017!

A note about Chloe our dog

We lost our faithful, dear companion, Chloe 2 nights ago.  She had breathing problems and they finally got the best of her.  this picture shows her in her "shoes" that we tried to have her wear outside in the grass (she had allergies), but she  got them off as soon as we out them on her!!

She was such a nice companion and was lots of fun to have around.

So long, dear friend.
