My name is Carol Elsworth , and I was “Grandma” to Bailey, a female Airedale Terrier, who belonged to my daughter, Lisa. Bailey spent much time with us as my daughter works long hours. We lost Bailey in July of 2003, at the age of 13-1/2 years.

My husband, John, and I retired to Cheboygan, Michigan, in 1983 from the Detroit area. My husband does woodcraft and goes to many arts and craft shows during the summer. I am an active Hospice volunteer in our community, am active in my church, and also teach quilting and belong to three quilt guilds in our area.

We enjoy traveling, usually spending a month at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, in the Fall, and taking a Spring trip as well. This year we will be going to Europe for September and October to see family.

This is my fourth year of being involved in the Airedale Quilting Bee. These dogs are so special – I am happy to help with Rescue efforts. Bailey was not a Rescue dog in the true sense, but was rescued from the backyard of friends who found her too much to handle. All she really needed was company and lots of love!
