| Miranti commissioned this quilted portrait pillow of her beloved Lucky, who passed away 2/13/2008, less than two months from his 14th birthday. She plans to place this pillow on the chaise at the foot of her bed, where Lucky loved to relax, and where he passed away in his sleep. Miranti is going to untie the ribbon on this neck and hang Lucky's tag from it. She and her Maltese puppy, Cuddles, miss Lucky so much. Dimensions - 18" square |

| "Jan, I LOVE Lucky's pillow. You were right, it is better in person. I got it on time for his birthday...I missed the mailman yesterday...so we got it today, on Lucky's birthday. I am sending you photos of Cuddles (Lucky's "little brother") sitting on the chaise next to Lucky's pillow. I tied Lucky's dog tag on the ribbon and it looks perfect! Today, we celebrated Lucky's birthday by sending off to the sky a balloon from each of us to Lucky in heaven. It was a wonderful day of remembrance. Thanks so much for holding my hand through the process and for creating a beautiful momento of his memory. You have caught Lucky's personality and the portrait looks just like him (it is amazing that you are able to do this by sewing fabric)...I gave him a great big hug...and hugs to you too. Thanks again...you may hear from me again for another pillow creation..." - Miranti |

 This is the artwork Jan used to create her Memorial Dog Quilt. If anyone knows the artist's name, please email Jan so she can give proper credit to the artist. |
 Here is a picture of Jan with her Pit Bull, Kilo, alongside her Memorial Dog Quilt |

| Jan made this memorial dog quilt based on an image e-mailed from another pit bull mom. She hand-quilted stars of different sizes onto the blue night sky background fabric in silver glitter thread, to coordinate with the small silver stars imprinted on the fabric. She also hand quilted in blue glitter thread (can't be seen from this photo) stars and hearts up and down the side borders, and the wording "Born Innocent" across the top border and the wording "Died Still Trusting Us" across the bottom border. You can visibly see the appliqued fabric wording in upper and lower arcs above and below the angel dog; "In Memory of All Dogs" "Killed By Cruelty and Fear". This was inspired by the recent horrific news reports on the Atlanta Pit Bull fighting operation run from the home of a well-known football player. Dimensions - 47" square |

| "Jan - it is beautiful!!!! I cannot wait to get it!!! Thank you so much for giving me the gift of holding my dog again!" - Heather "Jan - Yesterday was the 2 month anniversary of his death so getting that pillow on that day seemed to be almost fate - and about the pillow - it is perfect - it is much more than I could have ever hoped for. The craftsmanship is so amazing that I cried when I opened it - you captured him perfectly to the point where I can almost feel his spirit - I still miss him so much - but it was nice to be able to wake up in the middle of the night last night and look over and see that smiling face again - even if it is only on a pillow - Thank you for giving me something that I can hold - it is truly wonderful." - Heather |
