Lisa's canvas and Rebecca's quilt

I gifted my pal Lisa one of the canvases I made on our Summer Song craft day...
I was wishing she could be with us, and remembering our fun times at the last two Birdsong events!
Remember, every comment you leave on this blog until August 28 is an entry to win
this canvas!
I am so happy to show you this very special gift for my dear friend Rebecca, which was skillfully created by Melinda.  
Melinda just opened her Etsy shop, fancypawsquilts, and she makes these incredible fabric quilts featuring pets, from a photo you send her.
Melinda makes a lot of great fabric (and other) crafts...
but I truly believe that with her pet quilts, she has found her calling.
The photos just don't do this justice.  It is perfectly beautiful!
I wrapped the quilt up, using an art portfolio as gift wrap.
Rebecca is an artist, so I think she thought the gift might be some sort of canvas, or art supplies.
Instead, she was surprised with a keepsake of the beloved dog, Morie, who passed away a few months ago.
Many tears were shed by all!
I highly recommend one of Melinda's works of art for any pet lover!
