Quilts and Dogs

Helping with the email customer service at the quilt shop is never dull. Last year, we had a "tablerunner of the month" quilt kit program. Not everyone completes the projects as they arrive month by month. A customer wrote to ask for help since her dog chewed the labels off her remaining kits. She had all the fabric but no way to tell which kit went with which pattern in the book.

I wrote back and described the contents of each kit and the pattern to use. In her thank-you response, she mentioned the dog had since passed away and sent us a picture of the dog. I do not think the glue on the labels was the cause of death. It made me realize how much of a "quilt family" we have become. I like it.
