helping haiti
for the past few weeks my friends over at the fat quarter shop have been hosting an online auction to support haiti relief. i was hesitant to participate at first. it just didn't feel quite right that i may end up with a beautiful quilt while knowing so many abandoned and scared little children were suffering. yet the need is so great and i applaud the efforts of kimberly and kevin trying to help. so today i was notified that i am the lucky owner of...
...this delightful dora s'mores baby quilt. my daughter and i are both girl scout alums, so we have been indulging in s'mores for many years. ohh and i so love the charming mocha swirl backing...

...we also both love every line by barb and mary for me and my sister designs. we will greatly appreciate adding this autographed quilt to our collection and will always remember the significance of receiving it.

an old favorite
sadly, i have been creating many sympathy cards lately. i've been using different designs as i go. tonight i decided to make a few extras. i found myself going back to one of my old favorites, from the garden. do you have a retired favorite or two that you just can't part with?
i have used many colors with this large flower, yet for sympathy cards i find myself going back to soft sky and blue bayou, both also retired now.
