There are many charities which donate quilts to people who need a bit of cheering up and whenever someone requests blocks for a quilt they're making for a loved one in need, they often get enough to make multiple quilts.
Little did I know my Block Swap friends were conspiring to make ME a quilt! It's the most thoughtful and caring gesture anyone has ever done for me and I've never had a quilt before! It's the most beautiful wonderful gorgeous quilt I have ever seen.
The love and thought and talent that went into this quilt is amazing! I've been blubbering all morning when ever I think of it!
It's called Quilted Hugs and most definitely feels like one!
I feel so loved and so undeserving to have such incredible friends. Thank you so much to each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.
The culprits are:
Cathy
Sue
Maria
Cheryll
Larain

You sneaky things! You've very good at keeping a surprise under wraps! I was so confused when the postie handed me this enormous parcel!
I was sure it was one of DH's ebay purchases so my confusion increased when I saw my name on the front.
It was followed by a moment of panic - have I mastered the talent of buying fabric in my sleep? Did I buy stuff online in my drug induced stupor upon coming home from hospital?
The sender was Crafty Pug. Of course! Silly me! It's a swap block! But...I'm not swapping in October...and why is it so BIG?
I opened it and my heart skipped a few beats, I eventually remembered to breathe. Inside...was the biggest, pinkest hug anyone has ever given me!
There were also some lovely cards inside. I feel very blessed. Here are the piccies. Click to get a close up!
thank you for such a gracious thank you ;-) LOL
