It Started on Facebook, of All Places

She works where I work, but our paths never crossed. She works in a location as far from mine as can be. I'd see her in the cafeteria occasionally and I knew her name. But that was all. Then one day that name popped up on my Suggested Friends list and I thought, "Why not?" At least that's how I remember it.

And through Facebook, I came to know this amazing, funny to the point of hilarious, clever, sensitive, bright (oh quit blushing if you are reading this!) woman. She and her partner are the generous people who gave us the kitchen, rocking horse, and dollhouse for our grandchildren. And expected nothing in return other than photographs of the kids using them.

When the crumb-people bug bit me, I knew I wanted to make that kind of a quilt for them. It started out being called Rogues' Gallery but somewhere along the line became known as It Takes All Kinds. You can see some of the people by clicking on the picture to make it bigger. We're giving it to them this weekend. I can't wait.
