Sandpat, is your calf sick? I sure hope not. What breed is he/she? Cute little one.

Does he like chickens?

I can tell from some of your posts that some of you will understand why the calf in the kitchen is a problem...but things are looking ok...for now.

On the filler fabric. I usually have some extra fabric left over that I like to share with others, so I plan to throw some in the package.

This is a newborn who we found frozen in a puddle of mud. She was barely breathing. Now she is 4 days old...still alive (whew!) The first night she slept in the kitchen. I'm guardedly optimistic about her chances now...her name is Hope. I don't know if she likes chickens, she hasn't ever seen one!! LOL!

Goodness pat you have been busy! I'm so glad that hopes life looks more optimistic. You are definitely a blessing to her.

What an adorable calf.I hope Hope does well I'm sure under your care she will do great.

I have a question when I cut the background for the appliqué I wasn't thinking and made it 6 inches so should I do a border of 3 1/2 inches to make it 9 1/2 inches if I add just a half inch I think it will look funny what do you think?

Crafty, if it were me, I'd add the bigger border~ JMHO :)

We also hope that Hope will make it. We raise cattle also and have those days of rescuing the young ones. It is always a relief when they show signs of getting stronger. :-D

Thanks I will do that.

I agree Crafty..I'd do the larger border...sounds cute..when do we get a pic???

Yes Linda...she is getting a little stronger every day, but she isn't "there" yet.
