Jane and Angela Leech
Jane and Angela are daughters of my childhood friend Liz. I have known the girls forever!
Having run out of nieces and nephews to give quilts to (until they start having babies), I started on friend's kids! Most of my friends are quilters, and although Liz did a very early class with me in about 1983, she never finished it nor does she know where the unfinished item is!
Jane lives Tigers, I had a Tiger Quilt that needed a home!
Angela is an artist, Liz introduced me to Kaffe Fassett in his early days through his knitting patterns. I had a lovely bright Kaffe quilt needing a new home!
Hurrah, 2 more quilts gifted to loved ones, sometime during 2012.

Another quilt leaves the nest for a better home!
Cancer is one of the dreadful words we hate to hear, I lost a cousin last year and another has succumbed. It's breast cancer, which fortunately, if you have to get one of them then this is it!!!!
nyhow, all I can do is be on the other end of this phone, visit and give a symbol of my love in the hope that I will give comfort.
It's not fair, Fiona has 2 young sons, she has a battle ahead of her in 2013.
Not a good photo of the quilt, this is the top only, hanging over the balcony at Bayside, Camp Clayton.

Donated quilts the the Cancer Council
These quilts have been a long time coming. A few years ago our local quilt group made a lot of quilts for children with cancer. Most of the weren't suitable for teenagers so I decided that I would potter along and make some. The 5 black, white and bright colored quilts bred like rabbits and I think I still have enough blocks to make another 3. The Hamburger is the backing for one of the 2 Boy's I Spy Quilts,, lovely bit of fabric!
The 2 paler ones were samples that needed finishing when we closed The Quilt Patch.
The Kaleidoscope was an unwanted top made by a friend.
It felt good to give the 10 quilts to an organization that will hand them onto worthy recipients.
I lost a dear cousin to cancer last year and this year one cousin is beginning her journey with breast cancer and another has just had a nasty scare, there's to much of it around!
I can move on now I have had a mini clear up and start making more!
