Sharing some love xx

Recently a very dear friend of mine told us she had breast cancer. We met on the smo board and she came along to my runboard when i set it up for all of us to have somewhere where we could all go to chat about anything and nothing without being moaned at for being to off topic oe personal. When she told me i was in shock as she is such a loving giving lady who was always joining in exchanges and competitions and always there to chat and i have to say it hit us all very hard there were a lot of tears shed.
Rose and i chated and we decided that it may be a nice idea to make her a quilt so it would feel like when ever she needed us she could just wrap the quilt around her and we would all be there for her keeping her warm and strong through the difficault days. I pmd everyone on my board and Jacky,Louise,Sarah,Sue,Nicky and her daughter Lyn all joined me and Rose in making squares for the quilt. Lyns friend Lorna who has recently also become a member of the board did a fantastic job in making up the quilt and we are all very grateful for the wonderful job she did as you can see.Here is Joan with the quilt and i know she loves it as she left a very heart warming thankyou message for us all. Joan we are all here for you and we hope that stay with us for a very long time to come. I would liuke to thank all the girls involved in making this possible as it was worth every minute to make you smile Joan xxxxx
