You are an inspiration. A large part of the joy of making quilts is sharing with others. There are lots of reasons we share our quilts and you have found your place on this journey. Thank you for sharing. Your quilts are great.

Rugosa is the perfect name for you. Rosa rugosa is one of the toughest kinds of rose. It doesn't succumb to anything and keeps blooming beautifully no matter where it is planted. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story. Your quilts are so beautiful and what a Wonderful way to show your gratitude and caring!

Your story has really touched me. Your persistence and overcoming -- amazing!
Your quilts are truly works of art and will surely be very appreciated. How special that you have found a special-to-you way to give back and express your support and gratitude. Blessings to you on this path in the future!

Back to basenjis and years ago:
I had a couple of pet basenjis, and started to get into showing and breeding, for which I needed a kennel name. I'm a big flower gardener, basenjis have winkled brows, the word is used to described 'wrinkled' so my first show basenji was Rosa Rugosa (wrinkled leaves on a rose), call name Rosa. My second girl was Rugosa Rubra (red wrinkles, wrinkled leaves on a red rose) Wild, yet look appropriate in the proper garden. Hence, Rugosa!
I can't get the Rugosa out of my brain, so now all quilt labels contain 'made by Rugosa creations!
Wrinkled quilts?
I have a couple of Rugosa roses in my garden, and like you said, they are tough.
These are a couple of quilts I donated as prizes at our national a few years

I guess now would be a perfect time to explain why that is my 'name'

Is it true that basenjis make a sort of purring noise and yodel instead of barking? It is wonderful that you have these dogs in your life!
how you came to using the name Rugosa is really neat. Ever since I first saw the wild rugosas blooming along the coastline in Maine, I've always included rugosa roses and hybrids in our gardens. we are organic gardeners and they resist diseases so well.
What you have been able to do is quite thrilling! Keep up the good works!
