Circle of Friends!

Secret sewing project number 3 was for a special couple who needed some comfort and hope during a tough time.

A group of us got together to make blocks, which the generous and talented Susie then pieced, quilted, embroidered and bound, to produce this beautiful quilt called 'Circle of Friends':

Circle of Friends Quilt for Cindy & Brian June13

Susan embroidered the names of all the contributors onto the back:

How cool is that!!!

The block we all made was this one:

We actually made a couple of blocks each, but for the life of me I can't find the photo of the other one I made!!

And there were enough blocks leftover for a matching cushion:

Cindy and Brian have now received their snugglies, and are delighted with them. 

I just want to say a huge thank you to Susie for the hours & talent spent pulling this wonderful project together. You can read more about this project here on Susan's blog, with more wonderful pictures to view!

Isn't this quilting community just the best!

    This quilting community is simply incredible and I am entirely grateful to be a part of it. You guys have been so wonderful to me through our rough spring. Thank you. Circle of Friends has pride of place on the couch these days and has been used in more than one little sneaky nap :) Judith, thank you.xx
