Slowly, slowly from Elsie Quilts

I now understand those who quilt for therapy in a loss or pain. These are busy days and I'm having trouble with focus and that "Be still and know that I am God" thing that is so true but often difficult with a million thoughts and memories crowding into my head.

One Less Bell to Answer, One Less Egg to Fry, One Less Dog to Pick Up After... Saying Goodbye to Otto from Cheeky Cognoscenti

I've been putting this post off for awhile now, but I might as well get it over with. This post has nothing to do with sewing or quilting and everything to do with why I haven't been sewing or quilting lately.

The canine love of our lives was a joyful, ball-chasing, howling-and-singing companion full of energy. He followed along behind Bernie every time he mowed the lawn, as if the two of them were patrolling the yard together. He slept at the foot of my bed, and I swear his gentle snore was the best sleep machine noise ...
