Linda & Becky

Happy Friday, Quilters! This week's quilts are tops by Becky, quilted my Linda. Thanks ladies! Things have been a bit dramatic around here. 

I got a nasty cat bite and infection that had me limping for a week. It's been long enough now that I can start to find some humor in it. 

Fudge had a psychotic episode on the catio due to the presence of a stray cat. In the past I've thrown a blanket over him and bundled him up (he snaps out of it as soon as he's in the house) but this time I wasn't careful enough and he latched onto my leg.

I'll spare you the pictures, but suffice it to say I had a bad bite/scratch that got a pretty good infection despite oral antibiotics. I ended up in the ER with a fever to get a bag of IV antibiotics. 

And then because I went to the ER animal control got involved. Fortunately Fudge has his rabies vaccine so he could quarantine at home. Mom has been getting a big kick out of telling all her church friends that a man with a bullet proof vest and a gun came to arrest Fudge. 

Also at the same time I lost my wallet and had to replace everything. And the antibiotics gave me thrush and I couldn't eat because my mouth hurt so bad. And I had to work the entire time, limping around the hospital. It was not a fun couple weeks. 

Fudge, with no thoughts in his entire head

The furry little criminal has no knowledge or memory of the entire incident. The animal control officer took his mug shot and he sniffed the camera. 

In my next life I want to come back as a cat. 

Covered in Love is a 501(c)(3) charity that donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 1700 so far! The Summer 2026 block drive is live now.  Check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.
