The quilt was far too large for the ladies to manage to quilt easily on their domestic machines. I told them that I wouldn&#8217;t mind doing the quilting for them. I returned the quilt to Phyllis (one of the We Care Committee coordinators) on Wednesday night at our guild meting. The <span>piecer<\/span> has the quilt back to put the binding on. Once the quilt is bound and labelled it will be donated to a new hospice starting up in our community.<\/p>\n<p>I love anything with snowmen on it. I collect snowmen. I love snowmen! I thought to myself, what a wonderful gift. I asked Phyllis, how she knew her gift would be so perfect and she <span>whispered<\/span> to me, &#8220;I read your blog!&#8221;.
