Good read Sharon and it was a pleasure making one for you x

Thank you, I loved receiving it and also your secret pm with your notes about me you had written!!! Good job this is a nice type of being stalked!! When I read your card it made me love the quilt all the more. You too with the other 3 ladies captured my likes and dislikes so well. ps: I forgive the little bit of green. xx And thank you for reading my blog.

A lovely piece Sharon .
You definately had a hard time while doing this quilt. I know that you would have liked to have done more to your quilt swap but life often gets in the way of the things we love doing.
You have given me loads of help ,advice and encouragement over the last 2 years which i really appreciate.
People should know just how talented you are. You have such a creative mind and always ready to guide (as you put it) anyone or anything. You only need 3 details and within seconds you have an idea to share. You give your time to everyone and i really dont know how you manage to do ,all that you do do.
On top of all that you are a fantastic friend to have… much love sent your way .
Xxxxxxx-
I’ll pay you later Karen!!! What are friends for but to share.

Love this – going to get my bits out and have a go!

Quite satisfying… and a good scraps user. Do pull the strips straight when sewing two or more together – they tend to ‘bag’ otherwise…. Just a comment 🙂
