More Mail...

I have had some more mail this week...

I can share a pic with you.... many readers of this blog will know that I have had a few hiccups in my life lately.. starting with my mum dying of a heart attack while in Phuket, that was 3 months ago, the grief is still with me each day, but this week has been a particularly hard week. My dad is doing ok, he has prostate cancer, and we just found out this past fortnight, that Super Dags' dad has prostate cancer as well, his is more advanced than dads, so we'll have to see what happens there. We aren't close to Dags dad but I wish him well.. I have had tonnes of sooks (which I am allowed to).. Yesterday I worked a day for a friend sorting out his 'books' and when I come home there was a parcel awaiting me..

One of my online craft croups called 'C-R-A-F-T' had made me this quilt. There are blocks from the Netherlands, England, USA and Australia. The wonderful Kate put it together. It passed inspection from Cosmopolitan the LOVELY cat..


To say I was overwhelmed when I opened this is an understatement, lots of tears, of sadness for mum and also thinking how wonderful people are. I had not been a member of this group for a long time (maybe 3 months?) when mum died and for them to make me a quilt, well I am still lost for words.. Mums favourite colour was red, she used to mostly wear red clothing for years, I remember at one stage, half her wardrobe was red!

I also had to share a pic of the back of the quilt! now readers also of this blog will know I love 30's fabrics and the backing is pieced with 30's (a few I dont have in the stash as well)..

Well I am getting a bit emotional now, so I'll leave it there, and happy weekend to you all...
