    Default Label for Donated Quilt

    Prior to moving out of state this past January we used to foster for our local animal shelter. We wound up being "Foster Failures" with the last dog we fostered. He was such a mess, obviously abused & neglected, when we got him and he had nothing but love in his heart so he became a member of our family. The shelter has their largest fundraiser in October that is called Walk For Animals and our Louie is being honored! He will lead the walk and his story and picture is on all the literature. I am making a quilt to donate to the raffle/silent auction. I am wondering if this would be an appropriate label to put on the quilt.

    That is so sweet. It does not look like the same dog. I think he is actually smiling in the second photo. The label is perfect.

    What a generous heart you have. Louie should add Lucky as part of his name. I think your label is perfect.

    I could never foster animals...I'd keep every single one of them!

    Look at how happy Louie is! Dogs are such good people.

    You're good people too. I'm with the others - I think the label is perfect too.

    The label is very appropriate and I would use it as is.

    I have never felt comfortable putting my name on anything that was donated to charity but that is just me. Go with your heart. You have such a great companion with "Lucky" Louie !!

    He looks so healthy and happy now! It's so gratifying to save a dog. I think the label is perfect.

    Bless your heart - both for adopting Louie and for donating a quilt. Congratulations to Louie - for both finding such a big-hearted family and for being "Grand Marshal" in the shelter's walk. I think your label is perfect.
    PS - we want to see a picture of the quilt when it's ready

    thanks, I didn't think about putting our name on the label. I will change it to His Fur-ever Family. I like that better!

    Your label is perfect. Bless you for giving a life back to Louie - he's a very fortunate little guy. When I made blankets for the animal shelter I put "made with love by Toby's grandma in Wisconsin" because I wanted to say something, but not use my name.
