| Jan made this portrait of Trixie for one of her VERY favorite authors, Dean Koontz. Trixie was Dean and Gerda Koontz's first dog, who was originally a Canine Companions for Independence service dog. After requiring surgery, she was unable to fulfill her service duties and became available for adoption. Dean says, in his book "A Big Little Life", which he wrote in her memory, that she changed him in many ways and made him a better person. He had many nicknames for Trixie, such as Fur Face and Short Stuff, so Jan wanted to incorporate that into her quilt. Dean and Gerda miss Trixie very much, but now share their lives and home with Anna, another former CCI dog. They will also always share their lives and home with the abiding spirit of Trixie. Jan has received 3 books and two lovely letters from Dean Koontz, in thanks for the quilt of his late Trixie. He says, "You do lovely, striking work, and the Trixie quilt will have a place of honor in our offices here." Jan is so, so pleased!! Dimensions - 28" square. |

She wanted me to let you know and to thank you again for the love and kindness you have shown Katie through your artwork and through your emails. We are having a service for her this afternoon. They choose to place her in the rose garden outside the house she grew up in. Take care and thank you again. May God bless you and your family." - Sharon "Jan, you are amazing. These look great. Much better than I could ever imagine. I really like it and I know my sister will also. :) You're very talented. I especially like the eyes. You did a great job and making her look younger. They are perfect and I like the smiling photo also. " - Sharon "Dear Jan - the pillow arrived on Friday. I have to say it is more beautiful than I thought. I can't wait to give it to my sister. I'm very pleased with it. I was visiting my sister and I made a point to look at the colors in her bedroom and house. The ones you picked are perfect! And the tassels work great. They add a really nice touch that goes with her whole home. Thanks again! I'll let you know how she likes it at Christmas. Hopefully, we'll still have little Katie with us then." - Sharon "Jan, The pillow brought my sister to tears. She didn't say much, but couldn't stop looking at it and rubbing her fingers over it. I enclosed with it a framed picture of the one you used to make the pillow, so it was very special. Little Katie is still with us, but it won't be long before she rests in heaven. She's very old and very frail, so my sister especially loved having this gift, since it will be the last we have to share with little Katie. It goes beautifully with her home. Its like you took the fabrics right from the house and made the pillow! You're very talented and amazing with fabric and thread :) Thank you so very much." - Sharon "Jan, I wanted to thank you so much for the pillow of my poodle, "Katie". My sister, Sharon, gave it to me for Christmas and it brought me to tears when I saw it. It looks just like her!!!! She turned 16 years old in December. Your work is amazing! Thank you again. I will treasure it always!" - Kim |
