Mom has been a part of the Airedale Quilting Bee for quite a few years now. On Thursday, mom got to meet one of her favorite bee members - Miss Holly. She lives in Canada so she came a long way to visit us!
I'm letting her know that she can't just go petting me without asking. Holly totally understood and respected my wishes.
She got to walk me from the barn to the house and I was very grateful. You can touch me now, Miss Holly!
Holly has an Airegirl named Ginger who sounds like she and I could almost be twinsies. We're both very talkative and very bossy and very much princesses! Ginger is more friendly towards hoomans and other dogs and I'm more aloof than she is.
This is Ginger on her 10th birthday. Is she celebrating in exactly the right right style or what?!
Way to go, Ginger!
Holly was walking me back to the house because the hoomans were going to
Gouveia's for dindin.
Holly and her husband, Steve and mom and dad decided to pick up pizza and take it with them. They actually polished off 2 pizzas! This one happens to be shrimp and pesto. The other one was a red pie with mozzerella. The wine was a delicious cabernet.
And were we invited to go along with them and partake in the food and drink and fun? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
But they did bring home ONE piece and we did get to enjoy that!
This is the quilt that the
Airedale Quilting Bee is raffling off this year. It's actually a quilt that was made in 2003 and it was won by one of the quilting bee ladies named Carol Elsworth. She has very generously given it back to the bee.
This is the first quilt that our mom was involved with and she actually made 2 blocks for this project. The
biographies for this quilt are the original ones from 2003, which means that I am quite a bit younger! This is me and Mr. Carrot, my favorite toy back then!
You'll have to click on the other block that mom made and you can see her looking a few years younger too!
If you can, please purchase tickets support Airedale rescue and maybe you could win this years' gorgeous quilt!
So until next time.............
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

What a gorgeous quilt-we're forwarding this link to our good friend who rescues Airedales & Wire Fox Terriers-she'll love it!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to meet and share a delicious dinner with Holly.
P.S. We were relieved to read that you got to have a least one piece of pizza:-)
Fabulous quilt. I sent it on to our beloved Sarge's mom, but I think I'm going to have to make some "donations" of my own. Gosh though... if I win... can be a good girl and share?!

ReplyDeleteI am excited about this years quilt. I'll be getting some tickets, just need to find the site! Maybe we'll eventually win one!! Maggie your personality is alot like BabyRocketDog's too. She'd prefer to play ball rather than to shmooze with srangers.

ps-SO sorry I messed up on the comment posting.
Over the years the Airedale quilts have raised big money for Airedale Rescue. Maybe if all the previous winners donated back their quilts, I'd have a better chance of finally winning one. Ha!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is lovely. Every year when Mom sees your quilts, she vows that she'll make a PWD quilt. So far, no quilt, but she claims she's getting it organized. We'll see!
