A special guest....

I really meant to post this a few weeks ago!  I got an e-mail from a lovely lady visiting from Australia who wanted to know if she could join us for our monthly Sampler Club Meeting ( Dear Jane, Dear Hannah, The Farmer's Wife and Nearly Insane - to make it easier, Nancy renamed it the Sampler Club)!  Of course, we always welcome quilters!

Linda came by and shared some amazing stories and a wonderful quilt she made for her daughter who lives in Toronto......

Linda dyed all the fabrics in this quilt herself and the pattern is a take from the Ricky Tim's fractures......it is absolutely stunning!

We were absolutely thrilled she shared it with us........
 It really is a stunning quilt!
The best news is - she comes quite often to visit her daughter and I'm going to try to talk her into teaching in the store, she also had some absolutely fabulous ideas and some great projects......possibly this time next year!

Certainly I will try to keep in touch with her - she was an absolute delight, we loved looking at photos of her quilts and projects and we all had a lovely evening.....

Happy Quilting!
