A close up. Kaaren hand stitched every delicious morsel of this quilt. I love it. My pictures are not good...but her quilt is amazing!
**********************Nurse's notes**********************************
The man was a cowboy. A real cowboy, with horses, cows, and a ranch. And a bevy of lovely ladies in his life, a wife and darling daughters. Down for a rodeo...he fell down dead...really...dead. CPR was immediate!! And he was revived. BUT!! He needed heart surgery, emergently. And so he had it...and so he rode off in his huge pickup, into the sunset. And did amazingly well!!
His tough, rough ranch life of hard, hard work served him in good stead. I truly believe a weaker man or woman would not have survived. I just loved them all, and will never forget them. What a blessing my patients are to me!
Now keep in mind...this story has been changed for privacy purposes, and has taken place in the past...maybe ten years ago...or less...and also I have written permission to talk about it from the cowboy himself.

Have a great day, all!!

What a beautiful little treasure you bought. I love it too. I also love your own beautiful quilt. All done? No border?
Hooray for the cowboy!! :D
Happy to hear the cowboy's story has a happy new beginning! Cowboys/cowgirls are physically and spiritually tough cookies!
Love the Noah's ark wall hanging - it's adorable & will look great in a nursery.
What a treasure you purchased!
So YOU were the lucky buyer. I am so happy for you! I purchased that magazine and plan to make that--someday, right? : )
Kaaren's work is meticulous. I have a wool applique pillow from a giveaway on her blog. It is a treasure to me.
Another great story from your work experience. Keep 'em coming!
What an awesome Noah's quilt. I can see why you jumped at the chance to own it. Kaaren used some beautiful wools and colors in her quilt. It will be delightful in a nursery someday. It's always good to be prepared.
Lovely Noah's Ark wool quilt....all ready for those grandkids :-)
