Over on the HGTV Quilting and Needlework Forum we have tons of fun!! Nickilee hosts a CQ One Block Swap each year and I have participated now for 3 years in a row! This time Kathy Shaw got my name and I received a box from Alabama today with the finished block in it!!
We were able to talk to the person creating our block once and I told Kathy that I would like a fall block and that I would love for her to put a Saint bernard on it somewhere for my husband. he had a Saint that lived almost 13 years and he loved her so much! he still cries for her every once in a while even now 16 years later! I knew he would love the sentiment and he did!
It is GORGEOUS!!!

This is truly a work of art, it's just beautiful! I have to try something like this (on a much simpler level) for myself! And, yep, I did see the pig:@)
Awesome!!
You are one lucky recipient, Thearica! Kathy's work IS gorgeous.
This block is a stunner Thearica.Just my very favourite colours too.
Losing a favourite pet can be awful.this will be a lovely gentle reminder.
This block is just beautiful! What a great motif of the dog! Kathy does such beautiful work.....I know you are happy with this one...
Oh my gosh that is gorgeous!
Beautiful. Best I've ever seen. I just hope this gets turned into a quilt that gets entered in a show. Award winning quilt possibilities.

Kathy is a very talented stitcher and she did a great job with your block. The St Bernard is really great.
