Fat Quarters, the internet quilting group I belong to, has been together for more than ten years. While I know I'll never get to meet some of the members in real life, the ones I have met are just as sweet in person as they seem "on the list." The group has a tendency to celebrate each other's joys and comfort each other's sorrows.
Since the advent of blogging, the list is barely active. But the caring remains, and those of us with blogs go around and visit each other.
We were shocked when Kat told us right around Thanksgiving that our dear Holly had received a scary diagnosis, pretty much out of the blue, and was having to undergo some scary surgery. We all knew that she'd recover much better if she had a love quilt to snuggle with. And so list members made basket blocks and I set them and Kat quilted and Jan made a label, all of this unbeknownst to Holly. Who received the finished quilt from Kat on Friday.
Here's a picture of it shortly before it left my house.
For Holly, with love, from the Fat Quarters.
