A Treasure Trove.

I've just spent two days with our youngest daughter, while we shopped for wedding dresses for her. She started out thinking what type of style she wanted and then as she tried different fabric and styles, her ideas developed about what she wanted. Last night she was just confused, but today she was able to clarify her ideas and I think a decision has been made. We have decided to leave it for a few days and then try on the two contenders again next week, when I will be available again after working nights.
     When I returned home today I found a huge parcel from Lorraine B. of Victoria. Lorraine has had a clean up of her sewing area and sent a treasure trove of bits and pieces including thread, cot panels, a set of blocks as well as fabric, including a huge piece of cream fabric which will be a great addition for toning down some of the scrappy blocks.
    The next few days will be busy with family commitments and night shifts but I will be adding to the pile of donation quilts ASAP. Many thanks for your very generous donation, Lorraine, they will help make some more beautiful quilts for the needy.
Hugs, Jan Mac

Hope the final decision is easy with those 2 contenders for the wedding dress. You'll certainly have a fun and productive time with those goodies from Lorraine.
