Henry and Amy. |
I have always been involved with animals my whole life. I began by working as a Zoo Information Guide at the Buffalo Zoo as a teenager. I was also a volunteer at the SPCA walking dogs and working in the petting farm all through High School. This brought me to Medaille College where I was part of the 1989 graduating class of the first Veterinary Technician Program in Buffalo. Although I no longer work as a Vet Tech, I still try and stay involved by helping animals in any way that I can. In my spare time I enjoy doing anything creative. I enjoy scrap booking, card making, embroidery & photography. I am also the manager of two Midget Travel Hockey teams that my son plays on. Henry and I enjoy working on obedience and I’m considering training him to be a therapy dog. He recently completed his CGC and really seems to enjoy obedience work.
I became aware of the quilt through the ADT lovers group that I had joined as a support system when Henry was a puppy. I thought the work was beautiful and spent quite a bit of money trying to win last year’s quilt. Even though Henry is not a rescue Dale I still try and support ADT Rescue in any way that I can. I read the stories of the Dales needing rescue and my heart goes out to them. I decided to try my hand at making a block. I have never quilted before so this project was a real challenge for me. I came up with the idea for “Henry’s Backyard Birthday Bash”, because Henry just turned one and he spends a lot of time playing with my Father’s Parsons (Jack) Russell Terrier. I really enjoyed working on the block and I can only hope that my appliqué work will improve as I gain more experience in the future.
