Hive 9 Block for Yvonne

HI Hive 9!  Here is my block for Yvonne - hope you like it!  What should have been a very easy block ended up testing my seam ripper many, many times!  My dyslexia gets the best of me sometimes!  However, I have a lovely seam ripper and we are quite close and it's all set and ready to send.  Anxious to see this all together - it's a neat block.

Now for the questions!

1. Name:  Debbie Grosskopf

3. Tell us about your family:  My husband and I have been married almost 32 years - yikes!  Where has the time gone?  We have 3 adult kids - my son is 29 and gainfully employed, my daughters are 27 in law school at SMU and 21 in her first Senior year at Texas A&M - there will be another....

4. Tell us about your pets:  Pets.....I have a 10 year old Yorkie and a 15 year old Sheltie.  My son has a 10 month old rescue AmStaff and my youngest has a 1 year old rescue Shepard, Lab, Dane - whatever mix.  He is a Tri-paw.  I mention them because I OFTEN have my grand-puppies to help out my kids and because, let's be honest, I love them so much.  We go to the dog park all the time when they are here!
