The first parcel arrives!

Eleven days after I asked for help in making a comfort quilt the first parcel arrived.

It's a feeling that's even better than Christmas. That may be one of the signs of fabric addiction.

Dale Anne had sent, as promised, meters of fabric for the backing as well as many meters of fabric to use in the quilt top for borders and sashing. She also sent 4 beautiful blocks.

We had all agreed, at the start, to use warm, comforting earth tone colours. We're making a masculine quilt after all.

The picture really doesn't do these blocks justice.

That night I signed onto my email eager to contact Dale Anne and let her know her package arrived safe and sound and was much appreciated. I had emails from 4 more women who had heard about the project. They were looking for details so they could help.

Thank you Dale Anne for the beautiful fabrics and blocks. It's a great reminder that talents shared benefits us all.

Thank you Wendy, Marilyn, Mary Anne and Susan for being a bright light in a world that is sometimes too full of darkness.
