Well, I kind of lost steam here and stopped sewing. Elinor continued to lose her battle and we had to say good bye last week. The last days were blessed in that she was still interested in eating and drinking and able to get around all right. But we mostly just stayed together in the family room while she rested in front of the fire and helped me work on the projects on the big square coffee table.
It is still hard to process and Marianne didn't want to eat much for awhile. But thankfully she is doing much better with it now and I am trying to focus on being grateful that we were able (with the help of our vet) to let her go very gently from us here at home. It's hard to write about as my heart still aches for her.
But there are lots of happy memories of her.
Helping with quilt photography
Pressing matters...
Quilt blessing...
Group binding help...
Binding application...
And making sure I kept the fire going...
She is always very dear and in our hearts.
While she was here, I laid out the applique for sewing and sewed all the blocks and sashings at least into rows for the Straits quilt. With Marianne's and Luke's help I will get back to that soon. I'm thankful I have so many ways to remember and cherish this sweet girl.
Sorry for the sad news but thank you for reading.
