yesterday was such a special dayLyn and her little sister met me at my little sisters house and she presented me with the special quilts she had made for me
So many wonderful people contributed to the making of these quilts
Lyn knew my family were having a bad time and wanted to do something for me, so she put the call out for nine patch blocks
The response was overwhelming
I think many of you thought that Lyn and I had actually met in person ,but no, we formed a friendship through blogging
Such a caring supportive community Blogging has opened up a whole new world for me
We spent a lovely day and Lyn kept us entertained with her stoies
She was as special in person as I thought she would be
There have been so many people involved in this project My thanks to you all
Lyn has the story of the quilts journey on her blog
I felt so special yesterday
Thankyou Lyn, not only for the quilts but for your suppport and friendship
I have such trouble photographing quilts
Hello Illene, such a lovely day we had yesterday...a memory to keep....we forged our friendship through a bond being mothers...even though we had not meet....thank you for respecting my wish...Hugs Lyn
