how wonderful to have friends like we have! Sarah sent me a couple of texts through the week to ask how things were going, whether DH was back at work, etc. Then she said that she and Razzy might come down to Burnie to go to our Spotlight on Friday [today] because they like it better than the Launceston one - well, I'm agreeable to that of course. So the visit was confirmed, I organised this for lunch

and here we all are, sitting at the table eating - seems like we do this a bit!!
DH came in for lunch and we all ate, chatted, etc then came the great reveal - our wonderful FIS group has been conniving together the make this absolutely fabulous stitched and pieced quilt for us. They are just so sneaky - and we love it!!!!!!!!!!

I am rarely speechless, but this time it was just amazing to be the recipient of such a beautiful gift, made with so much care and love by ladies from around our country - many of whom I have only "spoken" with on our blogs. To all of you, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart and Glenn's as well. We have had the best day and are so grateful to all of you for your friendship and support during the last couple of years - and some of you since I met you years ago when we met through the Craft Forum.
