Cara, hi!! You wrote Mary back a comment thanking her for letting you know the breeder that she got her pup from. I left a msg for Mary asking her what breed her pup is but have not heard back from her. Do you know and if you do would you please tell me. That is the cutest puppy I have seen in a long time. I too have poodles. They are brother and sister and turned 13 this last December. There is no sweeter more devoted dog in the world than a poodle. We had many years back a Snoodle named Little Bit. She was a sweetheart like your Brandy and it was so hard to let her go when the time came. She was independant like the Schnauzer but devoted like the poodle and they don't shed. A friend of mine has 2 yorkie poos and they are precious. Let me know what you bring home as a new member of your family!!! I will appreciate it greatly if you will let me know the breed of Mary's puppy. It actually looks like Mr Man my Poolle when he was a pup before his hair curled. Thanks, Linda

It has been a little over 15 years that we lost our poodle and hubby says he will never have another pet but that doesn't seem to stop me wanting one. We had a silver toy and I loved her. DH has had cancer and now has heart disease and doesn't want any as we never know when we might end up in the hospital for a week or two. I have thought about getting one anyway but haven't wanted to upset him. I was more curious than actually ready to buy one. I never was sure if the mixes would shed or not.

Hello, Cara--thank you for the kind words about my quilts. The wholecloth quilt is a crib or wall-hanging size. It took quite a while because the quilting is really, really dense--it was a stenciled top--check out Prairie Quilter's page for a full size one that's just beautiful. I'm working on my quilting stitching all the time--usually I quilt 6-8 stitches to the inch, but really good hand quilters can get 14-16! I can't even see that small! I hope you'll try hand quilting--to me it's the most enjoyable part of quilting. Around the Frame is a really friendly group of hand quilters on here.

Thanks Cara for the advice and words of encouragement. The pictures of your work look as though you have been quilting at least 50 years instead of just 5. It looks as though you are an expert quilter. Beautiful work!
Love and Hugs, Dee
