 Meggie took my seat!

 Tilli in the hallway. Lovely and cool.

I also have been given these two large boxes full of fabric with the promise that they will be used for charity. (A friend of a friend donated these she is downsizing). There are some cottons, (quilt blocks and sashings will be made with those). Some ribbing I will use on the charity dresses (T Shirt tops with an added skirt) and a couple of larger fabrics I will use for the Angels for the Forgotten Charity on the comfort blankets as backing. Thank you so much for trusting me with this.
