When you read this, it will be July 20 and it will be the day of a big event in Nebraska at AccuQuilt's headquarters....the unveiling of the top 2 quilts in their barn quilt contest. How I'd love to be there for the fun today! I hope some of you live close enough (and read my post about it last week) and might be going....so you can report back to me how it was....AND include photos, too!
Now, on a more serious note, most of you know our dog, Pepi, had to be put to sleep on July 8. The above photo shows a lovely sympathy basket we got a few days later from the vet along with a nice note (which is shown below). I thought it was a kind gesture for them to do this. There were 4 small pots of African violets in the basket. I have now taken the pots out of the basket and hope to keep them alive and thriving for many years.

Wow that's a lot of entries!!
That is so sweet of your vet!! Made me tear up!
Pat what a kind Vet you have....so nice....
How nice of your vet to send you this. You and Pepi must of been special to them. So how are you doing?
Well I hope who ever win the Go will have lots and lots of fun with it.
Take care
Wow, I am one of only 10 that already have a Go! ? These folks don't know what they are missing. Last night I dreamed I was cutting chisels!
The violet basket was a very sweet gesture from the vet.
Wow! My chances have increased, I really would like to win one. Maybe with the 3 giveaways I've entered I've got a shot, who knows?? Thanks again for the chance... and that was really nice of your vet to send the basket to you.
ah...but only ONE entry is necessary to count...MINE!!! I really really really really really really hope to win... fingers and legs crossed...which does mean I won't get much sewing done...
What a nice gesture from the Vet...
What a sweet thing for your vet to do!!
Crispy
What a special thing for your vet to do for Pepi, my dear.
Happy Quilting!
That was very thoughtful of your vet. I do love violets -- they're such sweet and happy little flowers. I hope they bring smiles to your face for a long time. :)
You have a wonderful vet! That was one of the kindest things I've seen a vet do.
What a great response to the giveaway!!!!
When our cat died the vet made a contribution to the animal shelter which was where she came from... I thought that was nice. Vets are wonderful people... sometimes having to be psychologists for grieving owners (I know mine was more than once).
Hugs!
What a nice gesture for the vet. I have never heard of any vet doing that. Do you know that african violets get watered from the bottom. A good spot for them is your kitchen window
What a sweet gift from your vet. Very thoughtful.
I've been buried up to my ears, so missed the news about Pepi. It's so hard to lose your pal. I still mourn the loss of our little dog. Your vet is very kind. Pepi must have been very special.
What a wonderful and generous gesture from your vet. So thoughtful! Keep those violets in good light.
That reminds me of my late mother. She used to keep a plastic "bloom" in her african violets. And when the plant really bloomed,. it always bloomed a different color, but she kept the plastic one in!
Makes me chuckle whenever I see those plants. Oh, and she watered them with a recycled gin bottle filled with water -- another smile.
how sweet of your vet......we certainly didn't get anything like that when our poppy was "gone"....
That was so nice of your vet to do. Shows that your vet really cares. Have a great day. By the way, I have always loved African violets, but never been able to get them to grow. Good luck with this. Winona
Little things like this show you that your vet truly cares for the animals they care for.
When we had to put our Jezzy dog down, the vet cried with my Larry. They, too, sent a sweet bereavement card. And we live in LA area, so you wouldn't think that would happen so much....
Lowering me head...so many entries I don't stand a chance but will certainly be over the moon happy for your winner!
That was a very sweet gesture from the vet. Ours sent the sweetest card when my son at to put Pearl down.
What a beautiful bouquet of violets and what a thoughtful thing for the vet's office to do. I love violets- they are so pretty-
The Go contest is a big hit - Someone is going to be very happy when you choose the winner.
Warmest regards,
Anna
I really have to get myself together and enter that give away for the GO!
What a wonderful gesture from your vet. Enjoy your flowers.
Sounds like the contest for your giveaway is going great! I'll do another tweet about when finished posting here. Can hardly wait to get the new drunkards' path smaller die! Yay!
That was wonderfully kind of your Vet, and you'll enjoy the violets for a long time.
What a kind and thoughtful thing for your vet to do. Enjoy those violets!
That is a nice memory basket and card. I'm sure you can keep those violets going. My vet sent a card when Puff died, and I felt good at the recognition of her worth to me.
I have never heard of a vet doing something so nice. We have a wonderful vet but not that nice.
And STOP telling more people to enter your giveaway. How can I win if you keep doing that?
what a great vet you have. We have had to have two of our old dogs put down when they got really sick, cancer with the one. Our vet sent out a lovely card with the verse about the rainbow bridge. It made me so sad...I almost wish they hadn't sent the card as I started missing my baby so much
